John Clayton, the ESPN NFL writer known for his self-lacerating “Hey, Mom, I’m done with my segment!” headbanger commercial for “SportsCenter,” has parted ways with the company as part of its recent massive layoffs.
The departure of “The Professor,” a senior NFL writer who is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame writers’ wing, was reported by The Sporting News’ Michael McCarthy. ESPN declined to comment on the matter for The Post. Clayton posted on Twitter about parting ways with ESPN.
I guess you saw the news. After 23 years I won’t be contributing to ESPN.
