You have just been named the new CEO of ESPN...

[Delmar]

…when you walk in the door, who are the first 5 people you fire?

Mine:
1. Skip Bayless
2. Boomer (got to change the culture).
3. Mark Schwarz
4. The idiot in the back room who decided that saying RBI's instead RBI was an egregious grammatical error.
5. Any one of the munchkins now doing Sports Center who thinks he is either Dan or Keith.

Did I say Skip Bayless?

 

[jekelish]

I have? Man, I'm going to buy so much cocaine.

Not for nothing but it's RsBI. And while we're at it it's Grounds Rules Double.

But definitely Scwartz. Or maybe send him to Alaska to cover the Idiot Rod.

The whole place. It's clear they hire former athletes but I am convinced they are run by non athletes like Chris Windbag Berman. Ie their highlights are way to short, sometimes they don't even show highlites for a meaningful game. Instead they focus on DRAMA like who killed who (Hernandez) or what did Kobe say, or what quarterback will start or what coach will get fired. Espn equals a bunch of drama queens IMO...

If I am CEO of ESPN my first move is to put together a national TV package of all Cuse games in hoops, football, & lax.

Boomer is such a tw@.t. He is stupid enough to show footage of himself w long hippy hair from his Brown days running like a little girl. Remember that one? I have run into him unfortunately and he is a world class DB

 

[CraigForth]

If I am CEO of ESPN I would immediately buy a surveillance camera and rehire Erin Andrews.

 

[cpatrocks]

Add Stephen A. Smith to my list.

Mark Schwarz and all his enablers/accomplices. That nightmare was not just Schwarz. He had co-conspirators. To this day, no one there seems to recognize what an embarrassment it should have been to ESPN.

DONT YOU PUT THAT EVIL ON ME!!

 

[Toga]

Not sure. Since about 10 years ago, haven't watched more than 15 seconds at a time of any ESPN "personality". I'd just hire Bilas as COO and tell him to handle things.

 

[CraigForth]

If Craig Forth were hired as CEO of ESPN he would immediatley hire Matt Gorman to be his CFO

Non athlete co conspirators. An athlete never would have pulled that crap they pulled on us

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Add Stephen A. Smith to my list.

I vehemently disagree. Stephen A. Smith is the only one that knows what's up over there.

What role would Jeremy McNeil fill?

 

[Jack Hall]

Did he play any sport in his life? Doesn't seem he has. But he likes to criticize pros

 

[Toga]

Everyone who has been involved in workplace sexual harrassment. Which (allegedly) would leave one with just a test pattern.

 

[jimsonjunction]

1. Mark Schwartz - unethical
2. Curt Schilling - egomaniac
3. Matt Millen - no credibility
4. Ray Lewis - too predictable
5. Jimmy Dykes - annoying to me personally

Honorable Mention: Jay Williams - lacks wisdom

 

[Jack Hall]

Did you see Roy Hibbert busting on him last night after the game? Good stuff

 

[CraigForth]

What role would Jeremy McNeil fill?

He'd be in charge of advertisments

 

[Toga]

He'd be in charge of advertisments

At the end of every product commercial, Jeremy comes on and says "*hit looks good"

 

[bnoro]

I would keep Bob Ley, Ian Darke, Steve McManaman, Twellman, Lalas, and fire the rest.

I would also have Tom Jackson thrown out the door.

Or get that shat outta here!

 

[CraigForth]

Craig would also probably hire Paul Harris to be editor of recruiting nation and would specifically be tasked with evaluating if prospects can dribble with both hands.

Vitale, five times.
