On today's episode, Jason is joined by Front Office Sports media and entertainment reporter Ryan Glasspiegel for a wide-ranging discussion on the unfortunate layoffs at ESPN. During the interview, Glasspiegel discusses the difficulties of balancing his job as a reporter with the feelings of those being axed, how much of a factor the salaries of guys like Ryan Clark and Cam Newton were in the decision to ultimately let them go, why ESPN has made the decision to pivot away from their old formula as The Mothership, the narrative that only a select few can still be successful away from ESPN, how cord-cutting has fundamentally changed the way ESPN structures their business, and much more!
