Skip Bayless, Mike Tirico, Keith Olbermann, Bill Simmons, Colin Cowherd and Curt Schilling. These are the former faces of ESPN.
With the exception of Schilling and, to an extent, Bayless, that is a lot of talent to let walk out of the door. Similar to Schlling’s famous bloody sock game, the bleeding continued for the network this week; in particular, it’s NFL Countdown series. This past Monday morning, The Big Lead was first to report that ESPN is parting ways with Cris Carter and Ray Lewis.
Say what you want about Lewis leaving the network; it’s possible that this could prove to be a mistake down the road.
