Possibly huge FS1 news
Just saw this:
Wow just saw some possibly HUGE news- Jamie Horowitz got fired from Fox. reportedly for a possible Sexual Harassment charge.

Will be really interesting to see what changes with FS1 now.

Fired him one week after he fired all of Fox Sports' sportswriters and replaced written content on the website with video clips of Skippy, Cowherd, et al.

Doubt this affects Fox's coverage of live sports, though. If anything, they need live sports more than ever after they fubar'd their website.

Fox Sports used to have very good writing. Too bad

will be a really interesting summer for Fox. It'll be fascinating to see if they change anything with the daytime lineup. And as far as other stuff- may make Fox rethink news stuff with them, allowing them to get more late night programming, something that has been lacking ever since they launched.

Jamie Horowitz was fired for reasons other than his bad decision to run his website

No doubt.

BTW, does anyone know what happened to Stewart Mandell? Seemed like the best writer they had, so I'm hoping he'll land somewhere else.

Mandel detailed this situation last week on the final Audible podcast. Feldman's contract ran out in April, IIRC and St un on June 30, marking three years since leaving SI.. He has yet to be hired by another media outlet. Awful Announcing went into great detail last Monday when the layoffs were public. It's a thorough piece.

Mandel has not announced where he'll end up, but he did tweet this today:
