Honestly, personally, I change the channel if I see him, and it stops me from watching ESPN when he is on. I honestly can't stand him. I do the same with Hoda Cotb in a non-sports arena. So it's not working on me....except I do greatly dislike him. lol. Expand Same with me. Stephen A is particularly obnoxious. His takes are far too predictable, wildly over exaggerated rants. I bet you didnt know he hates the cowboys and the cowboy fan base. 2 Quote

He signed an $85 Million deal with ESPN, then the layoffs came. They are moving towards a streaming workflow. On-air Broadcast" is dead. They got it right for once. Canada is moving towards the same thing with Bell, Rogers and The Score creating streaming studios that rival old-school Broadcast studios in budget. Technology has changed and ESPN had to cut the rope. It's streaming from here-on-out boys. Within the next 3 years most "Broadcast" stations will have only one studio and it will be controlled remotely for time zone content. Look up a company called: BirdDog PTZ cameras. They are EVERYWHERE now... killing the need for $120K cameras and expensive cameramen. Just one tiny example. McCafee uses this stuff... Quote
Arkady Renko Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) I always wondered why all these sports shows add so many former player commentators. Even if they were all good at it, they’ll put like 6 on at once. How can you have a good discussion that way? Edited June 30, 2023 by Arkady Renko 1 Quote

Expand ESPN could have developed their own shows from the ground up cheaper, I think circa 2018 they could have outright hired McAfee for a fraction of the cost he went for later on and been more ahead of the pack instead of playing catchup and having to buy into the market at a premium cost. It's sad that these people are out of jobs because the company they work for couldn't adapt and had to dramatically shift resources over to streaming. But yeah the time would have come eventually just sad to see that this likely is going to impact other office and production workers and not just the well off pundits. 1 Quote

Largely because he is the only one they have promoted for a long time but he has his fans I guess. Quote
Augie Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 I hate for anyone to lose their job, but some of these guys like Keyshawn and Booger add absolutely nothing of value, and they should be set for life already. I wonder if they are making cuts at lower, non-visible levels too? Those folks I’d feel much worse for. They’re working to feed the kids and pay the bills. 1 1 1 Quote

Don’t feel bad about this at all. Expand It's exactly how it works. It has gotten way too expensive to keep up with the increased costs the NFL demands to host MNF. NFL and the players are greedy as heck and will do anything for an additional dime in their pocket. Just waiting for the day for the NFL to price themselves out of more networks and they will end up on some dumb streaming platform that will kill their audience. NFL is playing with fire with the amount of greed they are trying to obtain. I can assure you, the NFL isn't what it is today, without MNF for all these years on ESPN or ABC. They are currently biting the hand that is feeding them. It may not seem like its an issue now because the money is flowing, but the harder it is to find the games or buy a service to watch the game, the more future fans you are throwing away. 1 1 Quote
