Some basketball heads still gonna roll at espn?

I can't imagine Jim Calhoun surviving. Worse than Bobby Knight.
Jay Bilas is the safest one of the bunch. He may even be getting a bonus for all this ludicrous UNC defense.
Will be great when espn completely disappears. Maybe somebody will give us a sports network that actually broadcasts sporting events.
Calhoun might as we'll be speaking Chinese.
I can't understand 90% of what he's saying.

Just shut the whole thing down, fake news, biased, corrupt
Sounds like a Maine lobster fisherman, which is fine unless you talking to a national basketball audience,

Someone PLEASE offer Vitale a retirement package?!?!?
Wondering if there isn't something going on. Active on twitter yet not a word about the espn folks who have lost their jobs.
For the love of God, please fire Stephen A Smith. PLEASE.
LOL He seems to be getting a lot of votes on social media.
Hearing Joey Brackets will be bounced soon!
Really I only watch ESPN when UK is on or some other team I like. Never watch it any other time.
Marc Stein AND Chad Ford. Just don't understand this when the idiot known as Dan LeBatard still has a job.
And Andy Katz. WTH
I would not keep a guy around that edits his draft board after the NBA Draft takes place. Surprised he was there 16 years with those kind of stunts. I remember him trying to be the funny guy on Sportscenter in 2009 when they asked him who the last pick in the draft would be. He said Jodie Meeks and laughed. Jodie Meeks went 19 spots ahead of last and is still in the league.
Really?
Would only like it from the perspective that it helps proves one side of a long-running argument.
Adding on to that. I would like it from the stand point I'm tired of ESPN putting his ugly mug on over 25% of the screen while the games are in play. We can hear him give his spiel without having to see him. It did not happen to UK this year but did the year before. Other teams got it in games I watched this year and pissed a lot of fans off.
Bracketology should be a roughly 3 week gig leading up to the tourney. Lunardis current setup is basically the equivalent of a store stocking Easter baskets all year long.
I actually liked Katz he wasn't that bad. There are a few others I would have gotten rid of before him.
IMO, Katz got less annoying over the years. About 15 years ago, there was Andy Katz overload during the NCAA tourney.
There's been more balance in recent years, and he seems to have learned to focus on his strengths and not be annoying.
Who the hell is Ramona Shelbourne sleeping with to keep her job?
She's tied to the "great" Jeannie Buss. As long as she's a pipeline to Lakers' gossip, she stays employed, I guess.
I could be wrong, but doesn't seem they've let go of any of the game color commentators, play by play ppl.
Don't understand how le batard is still there, especially if they actually are paying his dad on that awful show

It is known in the industry that Woj is moving to ESPN and they are paying a lot of money to get him. Clearing out space
Yeah, ESPN has surprised me with a few of the people they let go. No surprise almost no NFL guys were touched. I was a bit surprised that Kanell was let go. I think he is a smug Ahole, but putting that aside he generally seemed to be a good analyst and a good radio co-host with Rusillo after SVP left the show.
All of the "bigger name " guys/girls that got let go will all find willing participants at Fox, CBS, NBC, etc, to hire them so I'm not gonna weep too much for them. Plus this gets them out of crappy CT, so look on the bright side peeps.

I look for Andy Katz to end up on CBS. He is one of the more knowledgeable college basketball guys out there.
The absolute worst radio show of all time.
It's unbelievable that anyone listens to that.
ESPN got rid of people who can actually write an article that would get someone to read. They chose to go with ex jocks to keep on TV and get rid of people who can tell stories and create website content.
