1. ESPN had mass layoffs last week that hit production and behind-the-scenes people especially hard.
One of the many people who lost their job was Dan Le Batard Show With Stugotz producer Chris Cote, who has been with the show since 2012. Chris's dad, Greg, is a big part of the show, as well.
Le Batard, naturally, was not happy about losing one of his guys, so he took matters into his own hands.
He announced this morning that he has personally rehired Cote and would be paying Cote's salary and giving him a raise.
