Last to go will be the WNBA crew, unfortunately. Probably 80% plus of these East and West Coast phuckers vote dem. Couldn't happen to a better group of saps.
I think it has more to do with people cutting the cable than with freeing up dough for the NFL. I like SVP when he stays on sports, but geezus he is one PC dude.

Report: ESPN May Lay Off Hundreds of Employees as Part of Disney Cost-Cutting
ESPN employees who work behind the camera are expected to be hit hardest
The Worldwide Leader could lay off hundreds of employees in the coming weeks, sources told Front Office Sports. On the high end, 700 employees could be gone. On the low end, 300.
While the majority of layoffs are expected to affect employees who work behind the camera, some on-air talents are also expected to be let go, especially if they are working with an expiring contract.
A desire to cut costs, potentially tens of millions of dollars in salary, ahead of upcoming rights negotiations with the NFL, NHL and NBA over the next few years could be a contributing factor as to why ESPN was willing to let Keith Olbermann out of his contract to launch a nightly YouTube show about politics.

Just like overpaid college football coaches with multi-year contracts, it's FS to pay teleprompter readers multi-millions of dollars.
Boo yeah!

There is a ton of dead weight to cut at ESPN, but I'm sure they will choose the wrong people.
