ESPN president John Skipper has resigned

[Alsacs]

Finally ESPN can get real leadership.
Wonder if Wildhack gets a call?

Substance abuse issues. No surprise there, he had to be high on something to drive ESPN into the crapper over the past few years.

The Skipper too?

The Skipper too?

They already killed off the Professor...

And Gilligan...

So nothing surprises me now...

Love the barstool sports reaction to it

I won't take a wild hack to guess who eventually replaces him. But it may have some Syracuse ties

Don't most people take a leave of absence?

He probably had a morals clause in his contract. Letting him "resign" is a nice way of ESPN not telling him he was fired. You can't take a leave of absence in a job when you are that high up on the food chain. He isn't one of the rank and file workers down on the totem poll
