Karl Ravech, one of the lead voices on ESPN for more than three decades, is expected to be let go as part of a new round of layoffs, sources briefed on the move told The Athletic.

On Monday, ESPN laid off NFL analyst Ryan Clark as part of the latest round of layoffs, which will also affect behind-the-scenes personnel, as most of the dismissals are expected at NFL Network, according to sources speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter.

ESPN declined comment. Reached by phone on Tuesday morning, Ravech had yet to be told, as ESPN is planning to inform employees later in the morning.

We don’t have the full list but I find it incredibly sus they are going after all the African American hosts. Thoughts?

Over the last few years, ESPN let go of A LOT of great folks that I loved, but there are still those who I could care less for. While it's mean and cold-hearted to wish someone getting laid off, where does ESPN have the opportunity to improve it's on-air talent? I'll go first: Stephen A Smith, but he's probably untouchable so I'll go with Kendrick Perkins.

I guess I’m not the only one who had the same idea lol , don’t really have a need to use this and have a code for 12 months, i know it’s usually $300 a year not asking even close to that message me if interested

He was a good analyst especially when paired with Dan Orlovsky

Ryan wanted more money with fewer hours.

I'm going to try that with my boss and let you know how it went

Selling 12 month code for ESPN Unlimited for $50 cashapp. ESPN Unlimited is usually $30 a month so 12 months normally costs $360 USD. $310 in savings.

Selling a 12 month code as I already have it and have no use for it. Drop a comment if interested

The MODs for https://www.reddit.com/r/PatMcAfeeShowOfficial/s/iNYZUlDPWu are top tier censorship. Banned me for criticizing the ESPN show and then took down another post I made when I was unbanned.

It's baseball season and ESPN has a big baseball package. So why do they spend so much time on NBA summer league -- the quivalent of minor league basketball -- when they could focus on baseball? I like the NBA, but the summer league is a non-starter for me.

Dear ESPN,

Please add Women’s Lacrosse League to the app. And while you’re at it NCAA Women’s Lacrosse (if you have not already.)

Sincerely,

If you are watching a WWE event on demand, are you able to fast forward and rewind through commercials?

SUS 👀🕵🏻‍♂️

What is going on with the audio on the Espy broadcast? Half has a Spanish overlay and then when its not, the host sounds like he is behind a brick wall. When he talks there is an echo. I'm out of Indianapolis and this is off an Antenna. Just wondering if anyone else has this going on

This was not good. No one cares you are Latino, Marcello. Most of the athletes are not immigrants - at some point in each of their family tree's they were but c'mon man. If you are going to go at someone, go hard. He was so soft. I know it was hard following Shane Gillis' great monologue but that was just no bueno.

The Pancho Foulino bit wasn't really good either.

Here's hoping it doesn't negatively impact his career and that they let the future Hosts go harder.

Fox fire the audio guy now! Do they not now it’s total garbage audio?! Wtf!

Please for the love of all that is good and decent get rid of these horrible announcers!

There are so many smart, talented women in the world who know sports inside and out, so why must ESPN choose people like Mina Kimes and Nicole Briscoe. They’re so annoying it’s borderline unwatchable. It makes me sad and paints a bad light on women in sports reporting.

Who would you vote for ESPYS best soccer player award?

Lionel Messi

It’s weird watching the Top 10 plays and the sportscasters are saying words that rival a middle school playground. Between Pat McAfee and the sportscasters it gets somewhat tiring to hear all this.
I don’t even know if it’s the actual swearing, I think it has to do with the way they annunciate the se words like they were just given permission to cus for the first time ever. Thoughts?
