Infinit Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 He actually met Chris later in the lobby and left together. My brother in law and I thought it was pretty cool that they were buddies in real life too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 ESPN announced this morning that the latest round of layoffs (which are coming soon) will be cutting about 150 people. Will be interesting to see who get the axe this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I suppose this is the place for this, but Barstool is pretty much fucked. Good. They're the biggest bunch of bro-y assholes. Anyway, the FBI has them on a 20 count indictment from an investigation that uncovered money laundering, tax evasion, and illegal gambling. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of douchebags. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Speaking of addition by subtraction, today is Mike Francesa's last day on the air. Beginning tomorrow, Mike will have to do all of his sleeping at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always told interesting stories. His show with his miserable attitude and the dumbass callers made it a highly entertaining listen. WFAN is going to tank without him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Definitely agree. He used to be legitimately good - and probably great - at the job but hung around too long. It's kinda sad that the lasting impression a lot of people will have of him is the bitter grump who didn't prepare and did things like predict playoff wins for NFL teams that weren't in the playoffs that year.
