Danny Kanell of "Russillo & Kanell" gone. That was one of their bigger syndicated shows.

Of the current tally of laid off ESPN talent, 4.8% is female.

EDIT: Check that! It's actually 9.5%, I read "Johnette" as simply "John".

Yeah, most of the Johnette's I know are black females, so I was surprised to see a white guy.

So that means Russillo & Kanell, ESPN's syndicated drivetime show, is officially dead, with the reporting earlier that they'll just let Russillo's contract run out.

Why axe Kanell today and make Russillo a dead man walking?

That's too bad about Kanell, I enjoyed his work on the college football game-day shows with Joey Galloway and the Indian guy...

I used to be a BigFan of Stark's weekly columns, until they went to the Insider like 10 years ago...I pretty much stopped following ESPN.com for anything at that point...

Should I be worried that I don't know the majority of these folks? I guess I don't watch much ESPN these days? I am an MLB Network guy.

I was just thinking while reading these names , I barely watch ESPN anymore. Maybe baseball if the national game is good but I haven't watched SportsCentaur in years .

Jules better watch it. Someone like Isaacson would be a replacement for her.

Julie is very upset about her SJW partner getting canned. BTW, I don't give a shit about social issues
in sports and neither do the vast majority of fans.

What an enormous loss for ESPN and all of us who care about social issues in sports.

If those are the stories she's taking into free agency , I look forward to her future employment at HuffPo.

In another questionable Brush With "Fame", I'm pretty sure I ran into her old high school teammate Barb Atsaves at the convenient store on the Skokie-Morton Grove border a couple weeks ago. Barb was a tough ass player at DePaul.

She would be a woman with journalistic cred.

IIRC, didn't Isaacson take a buyout from Trib when they had a round of layoffs?
