It's Coming Apart At ESPN

There is major word out of Disney that they are trying to cut $100 million of payroll from ESPN.

Bill Simmons and Keith Olbermann were easy targets.

Colin Cowherd, however, is next.

Among other missteps, Yahoo! notes, is his "If they make me cover [gaming], I quit." statement.

With e-sports gaming and the like becoming an X-Games event, that probably pushed them in that direction.

One now has to wonder if ESPN may be making a major play, soon, for League of Legends or DOTA 2 content...

EDIT TO ADD:  Sounds like he's taking the money at FOX Sports.  (Deadspin)
