Brett McMurphy

To take somewhat of a reprieve from the actual sordid details of the Ohio State saga, this is a pretty good article explaining how Brett McMurphy revenge 17ed ESPN in spectacular fashion with this story. Actually was and still is getting paid by ESPN, but they can’t even claim credit for breaking the story due to having laid him off.

I also forgot that McMurphy also broke the “Moorhead to MSU” story in similar fashion.

Awesome story

The head of ESPN must be in VERY good favor with Disney. It is inexcusable what they have done to a network that used to be great.

If it helps the bottom line, Disney doesn’t give a 17.

We’re at a point where there aren’t a lot of quality products being made, but the people who make there are getting richer than ever.

On a podcast he basically said that it was the hardest he ever worked on a story because in three days he had to do the job of 50 people in three days. I hope he enjoys his victory lap!

They have no one to blame but themselves. When you start forking over hundreds of millions of dollars for rights to broadcast and your viewership and subscriptions drops the first thing they would do is cut salary.

I doubt he’ll be calling C-USA and Mountain West games for very long. With the year he’s had, I’d be willing to bet he’s working for FOX soon. Good for him.
