July 11, 201511 yr Get the cheapest wifi service. Then get a ruko box Netflix and Hulu. Locals watch with bunny ears.
July 12, 201511 yr We get it, Bengal Maniac. You're getting crushed. I have no idea how this is on here three times, but I am getting crushed.
July 12, 201511 yr OK, I am getting crushed with Directv and TWC (internet). Bottom line- Can I get the NFL Package on anything other than Directv and drop all of this and go a different route? Just in case...
July 12, 201511 yr Get rid of Berman, Chris Broussard, Skip, Stephen A, and Mike Greenberg and the company will be exponentially better and will cut a huge chunk of the $30M. Besides Greenberg, Amen.
July 13, 201511 yr Wonder if this means ESPN will shutter its "prestige" departments such as Grantland? I would be really disappointed. My favorite site for sports on the web (non BGP edition)
July 13, 201511 yr I would be really disappointed. My favorite site for sports on the web (non BGP edition) Same here. But I'd be lying if I said I still go there as much now that Simmons isn't involved.
July 13, 201511 yr Same here. But I'd be lying if I said I still go there as much now that Simmons isn't involved. I'm in the same boat. I still read Zac Lowe and Andy Greenberg. Plus listen to Jalen and Jacoby podcast.
July 13, 201511 yr If ESPN and Fox got a streaming service I may think about cutting the cord. But I pay for live sports it's to big of a part of my life. They have Watch ESPN but it needs to go full fledged streaming for non cable subscribers . They get a little over $6 per cable subscriber. They could go $10 make more per subscriber and people would flock.
July 13, 201511 yr I'm in the same boat. I still read Zac Lowe and Andy Greenberg. Plus listen to Jalen and Jacoby podcast. The guy they have on as a rock critic — Stephen Hyden — does a good job. I also enjoyed the occasional Klosterman column, but I'm guessing his contributions will be no more given he's great buddies with Simmons.

Plus one of the movie critics. I forget his name. Grantland did such a good job on the NBA. The best coverage on the Web in my opinion. I'm afraid with Simmons that might go away.

It will invariably decline some without him.

July 15, 201511 yr They have lost millions of subscribers due to "cutting the cord." I read yesterday that Disney has told ESPN to cut about $30M from its annual budget over the next two years. ESPN Tightens Its Belt as Pressure on It Mounts - WSJ They need to cut the fat...let Berman go, pun intended
