[pic] you know where yall got that !! from. ESPN is cool sometimes, but they've cornered the market which allows them to do some foul !! because they are too ingrained in the sports culture | ||

| Nah, her rep was getting around the company and she needed to separate herself from a situation. Shouldn't be long before Chuck and Kenny hitting it. | |

| Sucks to see her go honestly. They gotta be paying her more at her new spot. ESPN got some up and coming better looking hoes though. A while back I seen some !! that was talking about how models are starting to take training or go to school for some time and then become newscasters and work for these companies for tv time. | |

| sad that a lot of good basketball writers have gotten hired away to work for ESPN too. now their content will probably suffer [pic]. the one great thing that happened was that a guy i know who did analytics for the grizzlies took a full-time gig for the 6ers, so they hired hollinger's dumbass to take his spot in memphis. now we don't have to be subjected to that crap. | |

| ESPN is turning into a stepping stone to get into the industry. Look how fast their top people are leaving for better jobs once they hit their peak there. | |
