ESPN fires Adnan Virk

[rolltide]

Guys, Quit bragging that you don't watch ESPN like you are some kind of tough guy. If you do not watch ESPN then you don't watch much sports.

of course we watch for live sports but if you're watching the other shows then you have less of a life than RunMaker and TateHill who spend every waking hour with youtube vids

I've eliminated all ESPN programming outside of the actual live games.. Not interested in hearing ghetto opinions on most of the shows they have now..product of diversity I guess..

Same here.....only watch if a game is on I'm interested in

ESPN leaks information Virk was fired for leaking information.

For the NFL, used to watch the 3hr pregame show on Sunday (and SportsReporters before that), PrimeTime after the games were over and then all of the talk shows on Monday...now, I just watch the games.

If you watched their college football coverage he was the host of their one hour recap show every late Saturday night, with Jesse Palmer and Joey Galloway.

Does anyone know what information he allegedly leaked?

Was listening to sports talk in Philly today and they were talking about it. They said it was because he leaked info about Sunday night baseball start time being changed. I think it is an hour earlier now. Seems innocuous.

If that is what it ends up being, that is ridiculous. He probably has a clause in the contract that would prevent him for suing for wrongful termination. However if he does not, I would sue them.

His contract probably states an employee can't feed inside information about the company to a media outlet like "awful announcing."

i think they were looking for a reason to fire him and they found one
they don't do this to someone like steven a or skip bayless

Skip Bayless doesn’t work for ESPN.
