ESPN Laying Off Additional On-Air Personalities

He was ESPN's Dallas Cowboys guy. AMERICA'S TEAM!! Give me a break with that crap too.
ESPN has been insanely biased over the last few years.
NFL? Cowboys and Patriots.
NBA? LeBron and Warriors.
MLB? Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs.
NHL? Almost no overage.
College Football? SEC and Ohio State.
College Basketball? Blue Bloods only.
If people are going to complain about sideline reporters they need to take a look at Rovell. What does he do? Seriously. Tweet about baseball park food and athlete endorsement deals?

Sad, sad day.
Curious about this... whether its them, or just the people they work with.

agreed. Rovell is stealing money in the form of his salary. He offers so little contribution.
Whoa whoa whoa... I could not disagree more. If ESPN fires Rovell who else are you going to find to go on periscope, open packs of baseball cards from the late 80's and guess the players?
Come on.. you didn't like his segment of taking the Wonderlick test and posting it on Twitter!!?!

Deadspin is keeping a running list of people who are getting the axe.

Sideline reporters seem more legit than most of the studio people to me. Granted, the only thing I watch once in a while besides an actual sporting event on ESPN is Mike & Mike, and usually during football season. SportsCenter is complete garbage.
Please show Linda Cohn the door!! Turn her out to pasture.
Dana O'Neil is out... I liked all the college BB writers for the most part.

Add me to the list. Just got the 'call.' I've been informed my contract will not be renewed at ESPN.

You know how people complain about NFL Draft prospects Wonderlic scores? Rovell took it and scored 26 out of 50. Jameis Winston, who some would say isn't the smartest dude, scored 27.
He even dropped the classic, "The trust is I've never been a great test taker."

man dana oneil is a terrific writer/reporter. all the annoying loudmouths probably keep their jobs and the legit reporters get the axe???
Cutting people like Dana O'Neil who provide actual content, while keeping someone like Stephen A. Smith or Darren Rovell will be just about all I need to discontinue ESPN altogether.
I don't even watch ESPN anymore. I'll flip it on for games, of course but once halftime rolls around I'll change it and I for sure don't stick around for sportscenter or anything.
That can't be true though. Rovell is a genius because he went to Northwestern (which he reminds everyone at least 5 times a day).
They were quick to dump hockey reporters. Glad to see reduced role for Hannah Storm and Rusillo, although cutting them completely seems appropriate.
I find Russillo and Kanell both extremely pretentious.

I really liked Rusillo when he was opposite of Van Pelt, but with him as the lead of the show, I'm not sure he does enough.
