ESPN lays off Ed Werder day before the NFL draft
And that's just the beginning of the bloodbath. Up to 100 ESPNers are expected to be axed, including a lot of on-air folks. So consider this the ESPN Layoffs Megathread to track all the victims.

Like most here, I only watch ESPN for live sports and some 30 for 30s. Haven't watched a studio show in ... forever. Surprised how many said they've never heard of Werder. He's been doing the NFL draft for years (yes, as a Cowboys honk), so I remember seeing him a lot before I switched the vast majority of my draft viewing to NFL Network 2-3 years ago. |

Too bad they didn't have a poll on this. We could've bombarded them with Stephen A. Smith votes.

I forgot who Stephen A Smith was, so i googled....yep, he's the one I was thinking of.
a verbose blowhard. reminds me of Damon Wayans character from In Living Color of a prisoner who has spent his time learning a new vocabulary.

I don't watch BB so I guess that explains why I hadn't heard of her. I imagine there will be more of those.
With Werder going, I wonder is Sal Paolantonio is also soon to get axed. he is basically the Eagles' version of Werder. |

they could probably save some money by reducing Sunday NFL Countdown from 18 hosts, down to 2, maybe 3.
because nothing gets me fired up for Sunday more than hearing 10 former athletes talking at the same time.

It has nothing to do with their race. I don't give a shit about who's anchoring sportscenter anymore and watching them dance isn't going to change my mind.
Plus, actual sports starts at 6...why would I be watching Sportscenter instead? It's a cringey, ineffective ad. Fire the person who created it, not Ed Werder. Ed Werder was a goofy looking dude with a pornstache and about 0 personality but he certainly had league connections and always gave excellent info on NFL Countdown. Maybe he should take dance lessons though! You need to be young and hip now, Ed! Not old and informative. |
