Yes, I was surprised by this announcement as well. I thought they finished all of this business earlier in the year...

Does Gruden need to be paid millions. As far as I'm concerned, he could be cut or not renewed. Not a fan of his broadcasting style.

turned on ESPN radio on my Sirius XM last weekend and they have this Stugotz character (LeBetard's sidekick) trying to start his radio show w/ Mike Golic's son -- it was a complete mess - like a HAM Radio broadcast. They couldn't get their connection together since both of them appeared to be broadcasting out of their livingrooms- talked about what they did last night partying - total waste of time. Quality isn't there @ ESPN......I could go through their staff and make the cuts based on the crappy programming they have.....easy to do.

the only thing I get out of ESPN anymore are the college football games and other live sports events like tennis coverage....NFL draft, NFL football MNF, and I'll scan the website for headlines...

got too big and out of control.....Poker, cornhole contests, and food eating contests

Worse, is that mess of a show that Lebatard does in the late afternoons with the other two (don't recall the name of it, and I cut the cable cord a while ago). I do not know if ESPN may just simply become the new MTV, and predominantly broadcast things that have nothing to do with sports.

It is also still obvious from the radio programming that they aren't legitimately covering the NFL; still it is focused mostly on six or so franchises as well as other lame soap opera topics about who tweeted what about who, not to mention desperate measures to shove the NBA down our collective throats. Then again, perhaps like MTV, the NBA coverage perhaps is to exclusively focus on the under 18 crowd.

Have you noticed Gruden still has that game face in the broadcast booth that he used to have on the sideline as a coach? Lol

I believe those six franchises are the Pats, cowboys, cavs, warriors, eagles, and Lakers
