Ryan Clark terminated at ESPN

[CowboysFanSince88]

I'm a fan of RC. I think he is very good on air and analytically.

Not surprised by the news since it went down to the wire for him to signi a new deal back in 2024.

ESPN is going to be letting go of a bunch of other folks tomorrow and in the next few days/weeks I'm sure.

Hopefully Dan Orlovosky or Mina

I never heard of him. What makes him controversial?

A word that rhymes with pace.

Yep. Orlovosky is sewer trash. He should have been canned years ago.

He brings in ratings. People don’t like him and watch him. He’s mastered that.

I think he thought he was the next Stephen A and even tried copying his Cowboy hatred. Problem is Stephen is a SAG actor and he isn't. Funny part is his last time on ESPN he said he thought Cowboys were Super Bowl contenders this year .

Is he on the RIGHT side of social issues?

Ahh man that’s subjective. Id say he is but that’s gonna depend on who you ask. To put it in perspective I doubt BSPN cared about that. I think he gets paid too much and they probably asked him to take a cut and he said no.

And just like that they forget how he saved their broadcast on the night that when Demar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field. Buck and Aikman were professional. Clark empathetic which what that moment deserved.

This is kind of funny because being fired while you're on air is pretty much like being shot in the face

He was a decent analyst, but just another guy really. Not really a standout. If the price is going to be high, you need to stand out

I only saw him be cocky one time and it was towards Peter. It went too far but ultimately he’s right. He played the game. Guys who didn’t should walk a fine line and Schraeger typically does. I think he got what someone else should’ve got.

But these guys are never gonna be perfect I think we wil always have an issue with them. Even when we don’t we eventually will. I remember how everyone loved Romo then turned on him.

I recall several instances where he had to go public apologizing for stupid comments on-air and on X. His Steelers bias was clearly nauseating, but you will get that when you hire former players who remain loyal to their teams. Everybody had issues with Rom surrounding his work in the booth; with RC, it clearly went beyond that. More ESPN reorganizing today, I read, so I'm sure he's also part of the process of this.

I’ll take RC over those two bafoons they brought over from Good Morning Football.
I actually change the channel when Brandt or Schrager come on.

I liked part-time Schrager, not so much the guy getting more air time than I can watch, lol. With the Disney thing being the elephant in the room, along with the NFL....well, I'm sure more will have to pay for the current $$$ going out to the likes of SAS, along with the new $$$ soon coming to Roger

Damn, I was offended for a bit, I thought you were talking about me!!

...this one is really weird. Goes all way back to last years first game with Philly and CD's drop balls on the night.

Interesting read, its short.

[TheMarathonContinues]

I think they are forcing Cowboys into this....pure coincidental though getting fired right after saying Cowboys have Super Bowl hope kind of is funny lol. Would even be funnier if they actually got there and he's proven right lol.

They would have left it up, if it was about me!! Lol

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Unless there’s some new video I haven’t seen, I don’t think that remotely a fireable offense. In fact, I thought they both handled it well on-air.

Who knows what happened off the air though.

ESPN just fired Karl Ravech after 33 years.

ESPN used to be special. Now it is a steamy pile of the stinkiest piles ever. I refuse to watch it.

 

[MarkP88]

Clark never bothered me.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Clark never bothered me.

This and the way it went down was classless and disgusting and then how they did Karl who was there 33 years. My goodness that company went from sugar to s—- with just a snap of the finger.
