Great...be ready for the long-time announcers on the regional channels to be let go and replaced with the overpriced, no-talent hacks that ESPN hires. I used to at least be able to watch Cavs and Indians with the sound on.

Not at all. They're going to assign sportscasts to the same people who voice their cartoons. Imagine the possibilities.

Might explain how some people got hired/still have jobs there.

ESPN announced Monday that president John Skipper has resigned to deal with a substance addiction problem.

"Today I have resigned from my duties as President of ESPN," Skipper said in a statement published by ESPN. "I have had a wonderful career at the Walt Disney Company and am grateful for the many opportunities and friendships. I owe a debt to many, but most profoundly Michael Lynton, George Bodenheimer and Bob Iger.

"I have struggled for many years with a substance addiction. I have decided that the most important thing I can do right now is to take care of my problem.
