I'm obviously beyond heartbroken, but if you know me, Hank, and PFT you know we won't stay down from this for long.

Imagine landing 2 of the funniest dudes in the world and then losing them because you got pushed around by a few employees? ?? How DUMB

What?s even better is allowing those guys to hit the free agent market for other networks. Worst business decision ever.

So to recap:
1) set the precedent that your employees can bully you
2) lost all new viewers
3) handed them to competition

Well done. ???

ESPN just cut LeBron after he went 26, 9, and 6 in his first game. Their loss.

I'm really proud of what Big Cat, PFT, Hank, and Liam did, and will continue to do. Shame it didn't work out with ESPN.
