Adrian Wojnarowski Leaves ESPN After Power Struggle with Pat McAfee and What Happens Next at ESPN?

While it's still time to celebrate the trailblazing nature of Adrian Wojnarowski post-retirement, Dan and Amin want to discuss some of the behind the scenes elements of Woj's career at ESPN and how his role impacted others' opportunities for better and for worse.

Woj got booted. If it was Woj's ego, he would have left to do the same thing. The money was so big that Woj would have taken a payout or waited until his contract was over. It makes no sense at all what happened. There is obviously more to this story and it was spun. Iger doesn't want bad PR for Disney or its talent. Woj probably took it from multiple sides. I can't wait for Perk bombs.

Shams seems more in touch with the player's. Shams is great!!! And honestly fuck all that Pat should see what it'd take to hire Shams as his own NBA insider

[@IngridMichaels-mw5ej]

Was here to defend Woj (I'm biased, sue me) but closed out the video when LeBatard criticized Kelce for his language and McAfee for getting wasted. Both of those events were pretty much unanimously loved by anyone under the age of 50. Kelce and McAfee are pundits, not journos. They're allowed to have some fun and it helps ESPN's brand when they do. That's "fun" within reason, of course. If McAfee shows up loaded for shows on a regular basis, there's a problem. And saying that Shannon Sharpe "has a sex tape" is just blatantly dishonest phrasing. He accidentally went live on IG while he was having sex. Nothing pornographic was shown on camera, you could only hear audio. "Sex Tape" implies you had a pornographic video leaked or released, which is NOT what happened. I'm not planning on watching LeBatard's content again.

It's definitely a big loss for ESPN's basketball coverage, but Woj has as much baggage with him as he does accolades.

Well, the assholes somehow migrated to the outside world and seem to have landed in many places, but especially in sports "journalism" a term I use VERY loosely. The sports networks are dick frat boys (and now sorority girls) who egg each other on to see who can be the most stupid and outrageous.

I was…was…a huge fan, but not now. Ever since he turned into a whining , woke baby, he’s lost me. I want to hear about sports, not his problems. He and Wilbon have gone from respected journalists to angry snobs. ESPN let idiots take over. Stephan A, Mcafee, virtue signaling Kimes…it’s all about them! ESPN should take a page from TNTs basketball night. Disney has ruined all their products

[@user-ss1xg9oj1h]

Yeah, because Chris Berman hasn't made a career out of being the over-the-top pundit who could easily double as a ranting drunk sports fan in someone's garage at 2am. And he's been a 40 year legend on tv.

ESPN hasnt been watchable in years. Its pure garbage now.

[@ryanmussell739]

WoJ was at too many Diddy parties.

So everything is Pat's fault?? I'm not buying it man. That narrative is getting old. Rap sheet appears on his show and he still has Schefty on their as well. I'm not rolling with that bs.

[@user-jf9sx1nf3s]

just a sad sad little man, can't get over the fact Pat changed the game, made it about love and appreciation and actually played the game he talks about. This dinosaur over here is well over extinct to the point he had to put Pat's name in the title so it would be suggested under Pat's videos, he came for the GOAT and pat's fans showed up, a sad clickbait leach.

All I know is ESPN is on life support without Mcafee, which probably makes this channel a wart on the toe of the corpse that is on life support

[@sconnz531]

This dude hasn't been relevant for years. He has no opinion that makes any sense other than bitterness, jealousy. He's just a disgruntled ex employee after they get fired. All he does is bash ESPN because he isn't relevant in any market. Didn't realize this guy was even on the air still.

[@optimalprime9080]

This dude talks about “journalistic integrity” but his whole show is around bad takes hot takes and sports journalism gossip and pontification

[@CarolynLove-k1e]

If Journalist had original content it wouldn't be so easy for athletes to take over. The Kelce Brothers are unique because they respect their peers, guests, and ppl in general. They are NEVER hurtful. You feel at home. Listen to this man expressing his jealousy and hate toward podcasts and it's obvious their success is his issue. He should give that a try.
