ESPN let Karl Ravech go…
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
Ryan Clark also yesterday. While he was doing live segment. Went to commercial and he was there. Back from commercial and hes gone
It’s usually pretty hard for me to get worked up about big corporate network dipshíttery these days, with all the other problems of the world and even just in sports. But, this one seriously pisses me off.
Ravech was an institution at ESPN, and one of my all time favorites. I’m in my 40’s, and still remember staying up way past my bedtime as an 8-10 year old and watching Baseball Tonight with him and Peter Gammons covering whatever Ken Griffey Jr. and David Justice did that particular day. As the cherry on top, he was the one in the booth calling all 3 games of the 2021 national championship series, which was a great treat.
17 everything about this.

Gotta pay McAfee and Stephen A Smith’s salary for some damn reason
"IT'S A BLOWOUT!"
And we’ll still have Eduardo’s áss doing CWS games next year.
And Aikman and Buck…to call one game a week in the NFL. At least McAfee and Smith work just about every day.

They're keeping the Asian chic that's a "football expert"? And Stephen A? And McAfee? And Beth Moaning? And that buck tooth guy that calls games? And Perez?
Outkick had a source say he was being let go. They contacted espn for comment while Clark was on air. espn didn't want Clark to find out from other media so they told him during a break.
That's the story on X anyway.
Supposedly Cam Newton is gone. His big hat budget will be wrecked.
Clark I get
Ravech I do not - he always seemed competent at whatever they asked him to do.
Especially with half the "talent" they have on the air these days. They have some really, really bad people at some spots. Ever listened to Kendrick Perkins on NBA segments?

I really don't want to hear Beth Moaning.
There's one difference between Ravich and almost all of those you mention, but it's something we're not supposed to mention (McAfee gets a pass because he generates huge revenues for them).
We live in a world where those two are seemingly the biggest draws for that network?
Damn depressing.
Looking at who all has been let go from ESPN through the years in these big cullings, I havent really seen any trend.
They let beloved people go, hated people go, white men go, women go, racial minorities go, outspoken people go, reserved people go, etc etc.
Perhaps I am missing something though?
I don't know why or how Mina Kimes got that job. I'm not calling her dumb, but in my eyes, she simply isn't credible. It seems like she just regurgitates data from PFF. Weird hire.
You're missing that they let one young black guy and one old white guy go and somehow they're getting rid of the old whites. That's what patdog insinuated.
Can't wait to have her and Beth Mowins calling our football games
The writing was on the wall for Ravech when they lost MLB broadcasts.
Why they keep Eduardo Perez employed is intriguing.
Ravech is one of the best and he'll land on his feet.
If the bald annoying girl is still there, they are still a joke. Who the 17 watches her/him or that bull$!t program anyway
I don't understand ESPN. Slowly declines amount of MLB coverage and gets rid of the nightly Baseball Tonight show. Opts out of Sunday night baseball. Then buys MLB.tv from MLB to loop into the ESPN Unlimited service. Fires one of their top baseball voices.
It's like a toddler is in charge.

Ryan Clark is a racist piece of human excrement. I am glad they got rid of that white person hater.
In their politically correct world she checks 2 boxes with one salary, she's Asian and female so that's 2 minorities with 1 check.
You shut your ***** mouth. I’ll spend 45 minutes figuring out a way to sync Neil and my TV if that happens
I watched the old school Sportscenter when Eisen hosted and I will watch College Football final on Sunday morning religiously when we are good. So it’s been a couple of years.
