Mike Florio: ESPN laying off Ryan Clark was a 'stunner' | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

Ryan Clarke should have been gone period. People were over him and he should have been gone last year

Sports tv “personalities “ have become more sports betting influencers than anything else. Pre game halftime and post game shows are not watchable any longer. Straight up drivel

Florio is required to feign surprise and disappointment at Clark getting fired. People have lost their left wing membership for far less.

Don’t worry. There will still be plenty of fools on ESPN giving dimwitted takes like Clark did.

Hopefully Ryan Clark sues ESPN for signaling racist white supremacist Clay Travis net worth known as Outkick

All these people are easily replaceable and not missed by the audience.

talking heads are all replaceable. Its opinion based fluff.

He talked race to much. He could scrutinize a white player but if someone scrutinized a black player it was racist.

Clark should have been fired years ago.

ESPN needs to stop having these debate talk shows

I don't like to see anyone lose their job. I was laid off 3 times in my work life. The last time I was with a large company and my entire layer of management was let go at the same time. It happens. My unsolicited advice is get over it, and start looking for another job as quickly as possible (if he wants another job).

Good decision by ESPN.

Espn let Ravich go why not Smith?
Dei protection for Smith?
Start boycotting Smith' sponsors!

Ryan Clark has spent most of the past two years promoting Ryan Clark's brand and not ESPN's brand. ESPN expected Clark to promote ESPN for his $2 million per year contract.

They showed Mike Golic the door he helped start morning sports talk show

Isn't Ryan Clark divisive? He often leans into contrived controversies and often creates them himself. This is why I avoid him. 2-/

Loved that it was mid show

Crying Ryan 😢....surprise, surprise, surprise!😮

Bye bye Ryan..................."I never like him, I never trusted him" Guess the movie

Great news out of Bristol

I think it’s called. R.O.I ?? ESPN I guess did not see any other way? The goal of the modern business, any business is maximizing profits. Yes? ESPN aquired NFL network. Right now there is a big push in the business world to increase profits and one of the new moves is to merge locations. Example you have 50 stores with 30 employees, so you eliminate 5 stores and decrease your inventory, employees, rent, insurance utilities etc,etc,etc. most folks are take to a remote location and given a severance package. But being terminated period how ever it happens is NEVER good. Honestly people get terminated on the job daily! But everyone is so busy trying to turn this into something.

Not really. I got tired of his takes. 10 years was to long. Players do not provide inside information. Give me the entire field to watch and I'll decide

Good riddance

People get laid off daily so let's not be so dramatic, and most struggle to pay bills. I am sure Ryan will find another job and has plenty of of money to hold him over until vs others who don't. It's a job it happens move on.

What's stunning is why did it take this long!

I remember after Brady won like his 6th ring Clark was still going on air saying Peyton Manning was better 😂😂😂 Clark was an absolute clown and the way he got fired was perfect for him 😂

He should have been fired years ago.

He should be happy, ESPN is a pile of garbage.

Clark was making 2 million a year cry us a river. How about factory workers, nurses, hospitality workers are fired everyday and certainly weren't making millions stop crying

UGH FESPN... Remember when that used to be a sports channel instead of The View? I don't turn on that channel unless they're showing football. Wait that don't even do that anymore do they yeah so I don't watch

Not a stunner. All the crap that he caused ESPN the last couple yrs meant he was on borrowed time. It was stunning that he lasted after 2025.

Another disconnect between blowhard elitist media and the real world of normal people sick of racist people who live off the pigment card in any analysis they make.

LOL, stunned? Should have been fired long time ago.

I won’t miss him.

Why is an NBC NFL show speaking about and going into detail about the employee situation in other networks? Seems unprofessional imo

We all know it’s racism let’s stop 🛑 playing these games yall been trash since the owner died smh

Hey Mike you can’t be serious. Ryan Clark is exhibit A on why people are not watching ESPN. The guy cannot make an analysis without crying racism. He is not an analyst, nor a journalist. He’s a political hack.

Man us this guy beating around the bush.

I have wanted Ryan Clark to go for a while. Now if they can just get rid of Finebaum, even better.

He was a Joker - players union president he should have went. Joker capitol J

what's espn; means nuthin to me.
