It was Wednesday, April 26.

I woke up, opened the window, and was greeted with grey skies and a somber atmosphere, an omen for the next moments.

I check my phone, Twitter of course, and Ed Werder announces that he's been laid off by ESPN.

"Holy sh*t!"

For the next several hours I'm continually refreshing my feed, surveying the landscape for any ESPN lay-off listing I could find. Today was the day when more than 100 ESPN personalities were scheduled to be let go by the Worldwide Leader. It’s now publicly shifting it’s business model, and shaking up the industry as we know it.
