That sucks…he was actually really good at his job.
they should fire that one woman who is un-listenable.
Not because she is a woman but because the way she talks and describes the game makes it very difficult to watch.

I remeber when she pronounced Tune as Tuné during his first start at qb.

At least Beth Mowins does her homework and is prepared when she does a game, unlike a lot of her constituents. Like that guy that called us the Houston Tigers last season.

Im not a fan of his, but hey, on the bright side, maybe he can join his fellow alumni at 365 Sic Em on YouTube.

Must’ve been something pretty bad considering he still had time on his contract
Not a surprise. He was terrible. Had so many bad takes when I would see him, I was often left wondering when he was going to get fired.

I liked Griffin and Ponder. Article says it was a cost cutting move. Ponder only worked NFL Countdown and was off the rest of the year, and for $1M a year entering the last year of her contract, I understand ESPN’s move.
These celebrities are talented and very highly paid and I’m sure they will bounce back somewhere.

This is a great response to the news. RG3 will land on his feet somewhere.

It’s the typical bad NFL QB → tv analyst pipeline
it’s a constant turnover machine

ESPN felt like Griffin’s star was dimming and in the media, you go with what will give you ratings.

Great news!
He’ll find a spot. Disney is cutting staff.
Boo hoo. Hope he can scrape by to pay for food and rent.
Should’ve monitored his social media 
he pretty much was thrusted into a main role overnight so he had OTJ training - those don’t end too well
