RIPPA Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 Suzy Kolber was another layoff today It seems fairly obvious if you had a larger sized contract - you had a target on your back
hammerva Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Add Steve Young to the list. RG3 so far safe Here is the full list so far. Hope Vince and Nick Khan doesn't see this or may get jealous. Edited June 30, 2023 by hammerva
Brian Fowler Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 That's a lot of big names. Poor Keyshawn. Was only a year into a 5/$18 million deal.
odessasteps Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Torontonians, I just saw Bob MCown was in the hospital and in poor shape. Any public details? I stopped listening to 590 a few years ago.

I stopped listening to 590 a few years ago. Not much more than what has been reported, which is that he suffered from 2 strokes and at the moment he cannot walk or speak. He has been tweeting, and is ready to fight to regain his speech and motor skills. Bobcat was always an outspoken, entertaining sports radio personality here over the years...I'm hoping he pulls through. 1

Tiny_violin_playing.gif There was a meeting at some point where someone at Fox Sports said, "Well, we could just have Skip do the show solo for a while." and everyone sat there quiet for a minute until finally, someone audibly shuddered at the thought and everyone laughed and said, "Oh, yeah. No! God, terrible idea." 1

ESPN says it is going to honor contracts, so Keyshawn can either negotiate a buyout and go work somewhere else, or sit home and be paid by ESPN several more years. I took most talent will end up negotiating buyouts. Talent like Kellerman, Keyshawn, Van Gundy, etc. would probably be awfully attractive to someone looking to make a splash by hiring a big name (Fanduel, for example).
RIPPA Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 And the New York Times has officially disbanded its sports department
RIPPA Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 I also saw that apparently the LA Times has apparently shutdown their sports department too

It's worth noting, the staff at Sports department at the NYT was unionized, The Athletic is not.

They're no longer doing box scores, stats, game stories, or TV listings. The reason being they sold off their printing presses and with the contracted printers there's a 3PM(!) press time.

Brian Fowler Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 Dick Vitale has cancer again, the third time. Vocal cord cancer this time, which is extra horrific considering what he does. 3
Brian Fowler Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 And I just realized announced the same day as the ESPYs and the observed anniversary of Valvano's speech.
hammerva Posted July 14, 2023 Posted July 14, 2023 In a typical Stugotz moment, he thought he was interviewing Aaron Rodgers at the Lake Tahoe celebrity golf tournament. In reality he was having an interview with country music star Jake Owen who from the looks of it his only resembling feature is his facial hair. it is funny when you think that he always tries to tell us he is a Jets fan. https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/stugotz-aaron-rodgers-jake-owen.html 2

From what I understand, LeBatard never even thought about doing radio until Stugotz pitched it to him. If Stugotz doesn't stab his former employer in the back to start a new Miami sports radio station with LeBatard as the main drawing card, the show doesn't exist. I don't think the show works with anyone else. Stugotz being a moron, and LeBatard being utterly flabbergasted by his idiocy is the foundation the show was built on, and it doesn't work if Stugotz is not legitimately a complete moron. Somehow the moron understood this from the beginning, and they're going on 20 years together. He's also the single laziest employee ever, who never stops adding more work to his plate. Nothing about him makes any sense, but he's probably my all-time favorite radio personality.
Infinit Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 I still don't get how ESPN allowed him to be called "Stugotz" on air.
