A round of cuts involving on-air talent will happen over the summer via contracts not being renewed, buyouts or cuts. It is not expected to resemble what happened in April of 2017, when reporters and hosts were informed at one time. Among the known job cuts from Monday is vice president...
But if I'm going to bet on an older defensive tackle, I'd rather it be a guy like Hargrave than someone like Jarrett who has already shown more signs of on-field decline. Brian Flores now has some more talent to work with along his defensive line ... even if a lot of it is on...
Beaudine, on the other hand, is more outgoing. He talks fast, of dreams and destiny, his voice constantly rising and lowering as he quotes cheesy phrases as if he were reciting from his own motivational book, The Power of Who. The longtime Texan is a second-generation search consultant and...
As Laurie Orlando, ESPN’s senior vice president of talent development and planning, told me last year, “This is a halfway house for coaches. We build up relationships, and we have better access when they go back to coaching. And they’ll come back to us again if they had a good ex...
As part of a separate, cost-saving “talent exercise,” ESPN is looking to cull the ranks of on-air announcers, analysts, and reporters this month. The most vulnerable are those with expiring contracts, veterans making big salaries, and those who don’t work more than a day or two per ...

On a day to day basis, working at ESPN was very fulfilling. The people there are passionate about putting together a great product and employees are generally given the tools they need to succeed. However, evaluating talent and rewarding that work was always a struggle. Every year it seemed ...
a can't-miss talent with absurd hang time. Her son, who had been drafted with the No. 2 pick by the NBA champion Boston Celtics on June 17, 1986. Her son, who would be described in an autopsy report two days later as a "well-developed young Black male," 6-foot-7, 221½ poun...
It seemed as if the shot always started the same and ended the same. Yet among the thousands of attempts, there are those that stick out in my mind. That takes a special talent, too. John Stockton set the NBA record for career assists, but it's hard to remember any individual passes...
It's clear that his relationship with the Marlins has changed, even if Loria says it hasn't and Logan refuses to say so. Six months ago, Loria sat on a picnic bench in Jupiter, raving about Logan's makeup and his talent. In New York in early September, he did the same, insisting...
