Espn's facebook feed posts something about fucking Drake like 3x per week.

The same Drake who Kobe didn't even look at during the all star game intros (that was legitimately funny)

The upheaval at ESPN continues: according to The Big Lead, the network is parting ways with Ray Lewis and Cris Carter.

The network will also welcome Randy Moss to its coverage.

There's no word yet on what Moss will be doing for the network (fun story: one of his recent projects has been helping run free boot camp classes in Charlotte, and he also called ESPN's "30 for 30" documentary of him "pure lies"), though he has been with Fox Sports in recent years.

Carter, who has been with ESPN since 2008, has been part of "Sunday NFL Countdown," "Monday Night Countdown" and other shows. He came under fire last year when it was revealed that he told freshly-drafted players at the 2014 NFL rookie symposium to get a "fall guy" in case they get in trouble.

Lewis, who joined ESPN immediately after retiring in 2013, is also no stranger to controversy off the field; he has most prominently been part of "Monday Night Countdown."

In addition to Moss, ESPN also added recently-retired (and not nearly as controversial) players Matt Hasselbeck and Charles Woodson to its talent roster.


so glad to see carter gone

Glad to see Carter and Lewis gone, they brought very little, but ESPN needs to stop trying to cram a bunch of NFL personalities into one program. Just go back to Berman and TJ in the studio like the old days, and keep Suzy Kolber as the on-field host along with one or two of the best remaining talent. Who knows, that could very well be Hasslebeck and Woodson.

Happy for McDonough, he's always been one of the best in the business.

how in the world does berman keep his job? Seriously does he have something on someone?
guys like Patrick, Mayne, and Eisen and many more come and go, and that fat fuck Berman is still propped up like a king.

I guarantee there is not one human being on this earth that likes berman or thinks he is good at what he does.

I agree very much so. His calls of the Syracuse/UConn hextuple overtime and last year's Michigan State/Michigan game were some of the best.

He and Bob Ley are the last charter members left, so probably. I went through a phase of really hating him in the past as well but now I've grown to tolerate him. He's still better than all the recent NFL personalities they try to shove into that program.

So ESPN just launched Undefeated.com which, according to them, is about "Race. Sports. Culture". and "giving a new voice to black athletes".

So if you are a minority other than black, sorry, ESPN has got nothing for you.

This is it. It never launched last year.

And it's BlackGrantland, get it right!
