June 30, 2023 News and Notes

  • Corporate end-of-quarter bloodletting at ESPN:  (And thanks to my anonymous friend for finding the rest on Deadline.com)
    • Jalen Rose
    • Max Kellerman
    • Suzy Kolber
    • Jeff van Gundy
    • Ashley Brewer, who had done some SportsCenter
    • Keyshawn Johnson
    • Steve Young
    • Chris Chelios
    • Todd McShay
  • In all, about 20 on-air personalities are going to leave at the end of their contracts.
  • One of wrestling's biggest cautionary tales:  Darren Drozdov, paralyzed permanently on a bad "bump" in a WWE televised match, passed away today.  He was 54.  Many tributes are correct:  He could well have been bitter at wrestling for the rest of his life after the accident, but decided, instead, to try to work for the positive for it.   
  • Another strike against the Tennessee Titans.  Hassan Haskins arrested for aggravated assault -- trying to strangle somebody.  He is one of the kick returners.
