Would be interesting to see a list but it will likely come out in dribs and drabs.

Received my call. Laid off effective immediately. I love what I do and I will continue. Tough day for many with ESPN layoffs. Thx to all.

From his Twitter, sorry at work having issues.

Richard Deitsch with SI apparently knows who is going to get the calls and who isn't when it comes to the big time on air people but says he's not going to reveal and let them announce on their own. According to his facebook page yesterday, anyway.

ESPN will cut more than 100 employees today, Yahoo Finance has learned.

It has been widely reported for weeks that big cuts are coming to ESPN—so widely reported, and dissected, and gossiped about, in fact, that ESPN moved up its schedule and is notifying people earlier than it originally planned.

The 100 people getting cut are all “on-air talent,” a label ESPN uses for TV personalities, radio hosts, and writers who regularly appear on TV and radio. (ESPN says it has 1,000 such people, prior to these cuts.)

I didn't realize we had an ESPN employee posting on here. Sorry about you losing your job. I know that must be tough.

Someone fell for the fake Jeff Goodman twitter page again? Don't worry, so did Bleacher Report

Sorry my bad, it was in a stream of Twitter feeds and I didn't go directly to his feed to see if it was really him or not.

This has nothing to do with them doing a good job or not. It's just diminishing revenue...so expense cuts needed to offset.

Hate to see anyone lose their job for something other than performance.

Gonna be more........ESPN is clearing house

Maybe they can clear enough to shut the whole network down except for the NFL of course. I mean isn't that their goal anyway? To compete with the NFL network and maintain rights?

Haven't watched the NFL in two years. Totally unbearable
