    I like jalen but he stopped being value added for a long time now

  2. Neither_Rooster_9519

    ESPN firing everyone but Mark Jackson lmao

    > Rose survived with his pregame show, but, making millions, he had been a target as ESPN likes some of its emerging analysts, such as Kendrick Perkins, JJ Redick and Richard Jefferson.

    might be part of it too – unless they also drop Greenberg

    > He exited [Get Up] after ESPN decided to make Mike Greenberg the solo pilot of the program.

    I truly think at this rate, the next TV contract ESPN will be out because of the cost issue and CBS will return. It’s very likely for them to snatch the talents from ESPN, including Breen and possibly JVG.

    Wonder if Bill gets him to the ringer

  6. PhatYeeter

    He got a job at ringer till the day he dies he’ll be fine

  7. Neither_Department_9

    Hopefully he goes to the Ringer and Jalen and Jacoby pod comes back

  8. Jalen had seem pretty fed up working there for awhile.

    I really miss when he and Bill Simmons would do yearly round-ups prior to the season starting about their expectations for teams. Right or wrong it was just fun content.

  9. Shaqovitch

    ESPN really about to have Pat Mcafee cover sports he knows nothing about

  10. matty_nice

    Jalen and Jacoby gonna reunite with Bill Simmons.

    Kinda think the Ringer is gonna branch out even more.

  11. dbr3000

    if Perk survives those layoffs, it tells you all you need to know about what ESPN values in their “analysts”

  12. Schwalm

    Damn who they gonna have for the 2 minute halftime show in the playoffs?

  13. AutographedSnorkel

    Bill Simmons about to scoop up his old buddy and bring him to the Ringer.

    Time to bring back those NBA preview videos with Jalen holding a baseball bat

  14. Rakatok

    Bill Simmons rubbing his hands together.

  15. RaciallyInsensitiveC

    ESPN must be bleeding money at this point.

  16. kvlr954

    The stock price of spray hair about to bottom out

  17. Appropriate-Job-2972

    But Screamin’ A and Mad dog still have jobs?

  18. BeastaBubbles

    So we were watching get up this morning and they were having “technical difficulties” when trying to get Jalen Rose on.

    Turns out he wasn’t on because they fired him.

  19. klobucharzard

    they paid keyshawn johnson $18M to be like “yea i dont watch the NBA, but lemme say this…”

  20. 13WillieBeaman

    Lol, damn.. those in-studio hair lineups must’ve costed too much.

  21. Anora6666

    He didn’t follow step 2. Don’t get fired.

  22. HeyWhatsUpTed

    I never got his appeal. He has no charisma never says anything interesting and looks odd

  23. kosmos_uzuki

    ESPN has been painful to watch / listen to for years now. This is great news.
