One NFL insider voice that ESPN viewers will not be listening to as the new season kicks off is Chris Mortensen as the football analyst has announced his retirement from the network.
Mortensen had quietly quit the sports network earlier this year and ahead of the start of the NFL season has made it public to all of his fans.
“Excited about another season but it’s time to reveal after my 33rd NFL draft in April, I made a decision to step away from ESPN and focus on my health, family and faith,” he shared on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
Luckily for fans who have been following his career for 33 years, he’s still going to be giving his hot takes on the NFL.
“The gratitude and humility is overwhelming. It’s not a classic retirement. I’ll still be here talking ball. It’s just time.

The last time we saw Mel, she’d just gotten a lead on the whereabouts of her missing brother. In “He Ain’t Heavy,” she’s racing against the clock to save him. But she’s so intent on finding Edison that she neglected to check in with Harry, who’s more than a little freaked out that he hasn’t been able to find his wife.
“Where have you been all night? I was worried sick,” he says as he walks into the bar, where Mel is pouring herself a much-needed drink.

Al Roker is missing out on another holiday tradition as the Today co-host and weatherman continues to recover following the discovery of blood clots in his leg and lungs. He’ll forgo participating in this year’s Christmas in Rockefeller Center tree lighting ceremony as he recoups with family at home. The medical challenge arose earlier this November and landed Roker in the hospital for an extended period of time, preventing him from co-hosting NBC’s presentation of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which was helmed instead by Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb in his absence. (Credit: Michael Greenberg/NBC) According to NBC’s listing for the tree-lighting ceremony, the event will see Mario Lopez step in for Roker as he co-hosts the event alongside Guthrie, Kotb, and Craig Melvin.

Law & Order: Svu fans were given quite the shock when it was revealed star Kelli Giddish would be ending her run as Detective Amanda Rollins in the forthcoming season of the Dick Wolf procedural. While Giddish addressed her exit directly with fans via social media, writing on Instagram, “I wanted to address the chatter I’ve seen online and let everyone know that this will, indeed, be my last season on Law & Order: Svu. Playing Rollins has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life. I’ve been so fortunate to be a part of the Law & Order family for the last 12 years. There is simply no other character on TV like Rollins.” (Credit: Michael Greenberg/NBC) It has since been revealed that Giddish’s exit was not of her choosing. According to Variety, Giddish’s departure was a decision that was a “call made from above.

Where is Robyn McCall (Queen Latifah)?! That’s the question for The Equalizer Season 3, and TV Insider has an exclusive first look at the search as well as where she is in the October 2 premiere. Season 2 ended with Robyn determined to take down Quinn (Chris Vance) after her mentor Bishop’s (Chris Noth) death. She was kidnapped in front of her daughter, Delilah (Laya DeLeon Hayes), and Aunt Vi (Lorraine Toussaint) — just as she was telling them she was involved in a very dangerous case. Michael Greenberg/CBS Now, in the first photos for the Season 3 premiere “Boom.,” which you can see above and below, Aunt Vi and Delilah turn to Detective Marcus Dante (Tory Kittles) for help finding Robyn — and they have a sketch of the person who took her. Remember, when Season 2 ended, he didn’t know Delilah’s mother is the vigilante he’s been working with.

The WWE visited the World’s Greatest Arena Friday and continued to dominate the demo ratings, bringing in a healthy 0.6 on a relatively quiet evening.
This week’s WWE Friday Night SmackDown on Fox was held live at Madison Square Garden in New York, and saw the return of Brock Lesnar and a surprise visit from NBA superstar guard (and notorious Garden “villain”) Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks.
The night was staged in front of a host of big time sports media, including Fox Sports’ Tom Rinaldi and Nick Wright, ESPN’s Mike Greenberg and Omar Raja, Meadowlark Media’s John Skipper and his partner, fashion entrepreneur Carmen Busquets[/link], Barstool Sports CEO Erika Nardini, producer Connor Schell, CAA’s Alan Gold[/link] and Matt Kramer, Roc Nation’s Lori York, and The Volume’s Logan Swaim.

This year in sports can’t be summed up with Top 10 lists and reels of game clips. So ESPN is going to try some different tactics.
ESPN plans a three-hour primetime event to bid farewell to year in sports that often involved events that took place well off the field. The show, “SportsCenter Presents: 2020 – Heroes, History and Hope,”will air as three one-hour programs and will kick off on Thursday, December 24 at 8 p.m. Jeremy Schaap and Lisa Salters. It will also be available on the ESPN mobile app
“We’ve done all different kinds of year-end specials. Some of them have been anthologies of our best stories commentary. Five or six different panel shows do ten best things, then worst things,” says Schaap, in an interview. “For obvious reasons, that wouldn’t have seemed an appropriate way to look back at a year with so much devastation and heartache...

The purge at ESPN continues, as longtime show host Dan Le Batard will leave the network in January.
The announcement of his departure said Le Batard “will be leaving ESPN early next year to pursue a new opportunity.” His ESPN radio show, The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz, will end Jan. 4. His hosting of the TV show Highly Questionable will finish the same day, but the show will remain on ESPN with what’s described as a “contributing team.”
“It was mutually agreed that it was best for both sides to move on to new opportunities and we worked together closely to make that possible,” said Norby Williamson, ESPN executive vice president and executive editor. “We thank Dan for his many years and contributions to ESPN and wish him all the best going forward.”

Dan Le Batard, the popular and opinionated ESPN talk-show host, is walking away from the sports-media giant after working there in various capacities for nearly a decade.
Le Batard, who in mid-2019 openly challenged what had been ESPN’s policy not to address straight political matters, is leaving to pursue a new opportunity that neither party described. The last broadcast of his “The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz” on ESPN Radio will take place January 4, and will subsequently be replaced by Mike Greenberg’s new radio program, “Greeny.” Le Batard will host his last episode of the ESPN TV program “Highly Questionable” on the same day. ESPN said that program will continue to run as part of its regular lineup.

Dan Le Batard is leaving ESPN next month. His TV show, “Highly Questionable,” will continue on without him — or his dad.
“It was mutually agreed that it was best for both sides to move on to new opportunities and we worked together closely to make that possible,” said Norby Williamson, ESPN executive vice president and executive editor. “We thank Dan for his many years and contributions to ESPN and wish him all the best going forward.”

One of ESPN’s longtime faces is leaving the network. Trey Wingo, who hosted “SportsCenter” and the network’s NFL Draft coverage over a two-decade tenure, is exiting the network after his contract was not renewed.
The decision not to re-up Wingo’s contract came as part of ESPN’s massive job cuts, the New York Post reported earlier this month (the NY Post also reported back in September that Wingo was being let go). The host’s departure was not confirmed until today, which is also his last day at the network.
“I can barely remember a day which didn’t involve working side by side with this guy. @wingoz has been an incredible teammate & friend for more than 2 decades.

Keyshawn Johnson, Jay Williams and Zubin Mehenti have a big radio debut on Monday, when they take over ESPN’s national morning slot. But their new jobs started in earnest on Wednesday.
The trio met in their studio at ESPN’s New York production facility for the first time, ready to test out their rapport. “I think if you took out the bumps in the road and you put that in the can, that could have been a show,” says Johnson.
It probably won’t be that easy.
Johnson, Williams and Mehenti are taking over a slot inhabited by only a few voices in the past two decades, with Mike Golic talking to A.M. sports fans between 1998 and 2020, joined by Mike Greenberg for 17 years. ESPN raised eyebrows in July when executives announced they were taking Golic off the program. Greenberg had departed to host ESPN’s morning-tv program “Get Up” in 2018. On Monday,...

Mike Greenberg must move fast as the host of ESPN’s “Get Up” each weekday morning. He’s hoping a new radio gig in the afternoons will give him the chance he needs to slow things down.
“On the TV show, we are just flying through stuff. The average interview on my show in the morning is – a long interview for us is six or seven minutes. On the radio, I could see us doing 15, 16, 17 minutes when the circumstances call for it,” says Greenberg, in an interview that is just a little longer than the time he wants for radio sessions. “It’s not every day that you have the right opportunities and the right subject matter to do that.”

Mike Golic will soon be without an ESPN Radio show, but he’s not out of 2020 ESPN gigs yet — assuming Covid-19 cooperates.
On Monday’s “Golic & Wingo” show, Golic, who is under contract with ESPN for the remainder of the year, said that he approached management and asked to return to calling college football games for the company’s cable channel. That’s where the former Notre Dame standout and NFL lineman got his post-football start in media.
ESPN gave the green light to that idea — should collegiate sports actually return amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

ESPN said it would cancel its flagship morning radio program, “Golic & WIngo,” while bringing Mike Greenberg, half of the team that helped the Disney sports-media giant carve a bigger business in the audio world, back to the medium as part of a reworking of its national lineup.
Greenberg, who spent 17 years with co-host Mike Golic on the morning radio program “Mike & Mike,” will keep his duties on the ESPN mid-morning TV program, “Get Up,” which he has helped anchor since the Spring of 2018. But he will also lead a new two-hour radio show that airs between noon and 2 p.m. weekdays. His former partner, Mike Golic will leave mornings along with Trey Wingo.

Bryant Gumbel is exhausted.
He is taking time out from two days of video chats with a range of athletes, coaches, managers and observers that will help fill a decidedly non-traditional hour of “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel,” the newsmagazine he has anchored on HBO since 1995. On June 23, the program will do away with its typical format and devote the entire program to examining how sports has been affected by both the coronavirus pandemic and the racial injustice that has spurred protests nationwide.
“I categorize it as trying to eat Jell-o with a knife and fork,” he says of his current pursuit, which is slated to include interviews with people ranging from Billie Jean King, Bubba Wallace and Bob Costas to Hank Aaron, Steve Kerr and Killer Mike. “What we are trying to make sense of is the fact that sports, like everything else on the planet, is in a unique moment.

ESPN is asking its top 100 commentators to take a pay cut while the network weathers the coronavirus pandemic, which is hit the sports channel particularly hard with the cancellation of virtually all live sporting events.
“We are asking about 100 of our commentators to join with our executives and take a temporary salary reduction. These are challenging times and we are all in this together,” the network said in a statement.
It is unclear which commentators were asked but ESPN’s highest-profile personalities include Stephen A. Smith, Mike Greenberg, Alex Rodriguez and Kirk Herbstreit. The salary reductions will be around 15% and are expected to last for three months, an individual with knowledge of the decision told TheWrap.

ESPN, struggling to keep fresh programming on its schedule with live sports sidelined by the coronavirus pandemic, is asking some of its best-known personalities to take pay cuts.
“We are asking about 100 of our commentators to join with our executives and take a temporary salary reduction. These are challenging times and we are all in this together,” the Disney-owned sports-media giant said in a statement. Sports Business Journal previously disclosed the cuts.
The salary reductions are likely to affect the network’s highest-paid commentators, who include personalities like Stephen A. Smith and Mike Greenberg. ESPN is seeking cuts of 15%, and would encompass three months of pay cycles, according to a person familiar with the matter. Executives hope the pay cuts will tamp down a need for furloughs, and keep paychecks intact for lower-paid ESPN employees who don’t earn the types of salaries that the big-name personalities do.

ESPN’s latest sport has no rules, a flexible season and no championship game. Its only stars are the ones working behind the scenes.
The Disney-owned sports-media juggernaut finds itself in an impossible situation. The outlet spends millions to secure the rights to air hours and hours of live basketball, football, baseball, racing, boxing and mixed martial arts. In normal times, that’s a very successful business model. In a moment when the entire nation has been essentially sidelined, so too have the sports that ESPN depends upon so heavily. ESPN’s new game is to get people to keep watching even when the main thing they want to watch is not available.
“There are so many creative things we can do, similar to some of the initiatives we’ve done in the past for special event anniversaries, ‘The Ocho’ day and more,” says Burke Magnus, ESPN’s executive vice president,...

Executives at ESPN had high hopes in the Spring of 2018 when they launched a new morning program called “Get Up!” Within weeks, they were wondering whether they ought to put the show down.
The Disney-owned sports network saw the new program as a way to give viewers something other than another hour of its near-ubiquitous “SportsCenter,” and as a bid to offer colorful analysis and opinion in an era when sports facts and stats can be called up on a smart phone at a moment’s notice. The network even took up space in a waterfront studio in New York’s South Street Seaport; mounted cameras outside to get shots of the rolling surf; and set up little studio nooks where hosts and guests could hold one-on-one conversations. And then ESPN dispatched three top prospects – popular radio host Mike Greenberg; outspoken and unflappable Michelle Beadle; and former Indiana Pacer Jalen Rose...

And there’s a reason for that: It’s a new and inordinately hooky rocker from a band that started way back when but has finally, after 27 years, gotten around to making a record.
