I'm the same way. Cannot stand his show.

As long as Tony Reali doesn't get cut, only guy I can really tolerate.

Maybe he'll just be demoted to PTI's "Stat Boy" again.

There is a rumor that he is being replaced soon.
And that ESPN is going to say they are replacing him so he can work on a TV project.
But in reality they are replacing him because his ratings have dropped at an unreal pace.
I read yesterday he has been dropped by 39 national stations.
He honestly seems to know sports, but he usually refuses to talk about them.
Its like listening to CNN, if I wanted to listed to CNN I would turn it on.
I listen to ESPN radio to listen to sports talk.
And they way he deals with callers is just so arrogant and disrespectful.

I've only seen/heard Bonami on Around the Horn and thought he was ok.

Clinton Yates, however...the guy seems less of a reporter and more of an instigator to me.

I've been hearing those same "rumors" about Bomani getting fired for the last 2 years.

At this point, I'll believe it when I see it considering that ESPN loves the fellas who stir up trouble and/or gets people in an outrage so easily, especially on Social Media.

Don't take this in the wrong direction folks but I wouldn't be surprised to see Jamele (sp) Hill's name among the layoffs. ESPN can justify it and say "hey we fired 99 other people it's just business". I know a lot of folks in journalism, especially sports journalism will be up in arms if that happens.

It's just something to watch out for when the cuts are announced.

They would be idiots to fire Bomani. Dude is smart and funny as hell.

I know we talk about firings so casually in sports nearly all the time, mostly with regards to coachs, but it sucks that ESPN built themselves up so huge that people will have to lose their jobs as a result.
