New Orleans Saints ten year veteran, Cam Jordan, appeared on ESPN’s morning show, Get Up on Tuesday. He spoke on the crazy offseason surrounding the NFL’s marquee quarterbacks and made a bold prediction for the Saints if they acquired a new signal-caller.

“Absolutely,” Jordan declared when he was pressed on whether or not the Saints would win the Super Bowl if Russell Wilson joined their team. “That’s my vision year in and year out,” Jordan said.

The NFL penny-pinchers are always actively seeking out potential tampering offenders when players or team personnel attempt to recruit other players to their teams.

Cam effectively tip-toed around that subject and delivered some entertaining and insightful content during his appearance.

Is television broadcasting in Jordan’s back pocket once he decides to retire from chasing quarterbacks in the backfield? Almost certainly. This appearance on ESPN was just the latest media experience for the defensive lineman, who hosts a podcast for The Players Tribune and previously served as an analyst on a FOX Sports XFL broadcast.

Atlanta Braves fans will be greeted with a very different television broadcast when Major League Baseball’s regular season begins later this month. Bally Sports South has undergone a full talent overhaul.

When the network announced its talent for the 2023 season, two names were missing. Neither Paul Byrd nor Brian Jordan will return. Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted that Byrd’s decision was a personal matter, while the team made efforts to bring Jordan back.

Brian Jordan was part of the team of analysts covering the Braves on TV last year. Byrd was a studio host. He was at the front of a season preview show, which premiered last week.

The Braves have been hit with plenty of other changes this offseason. Chip Caray will be replaced by Brandon Gaudin on play-by-play after Caray decided to leave Atlanta for St. Louis. Also, Tom Glavine returns as a game analyst after taking time away from the team in 2022.

As the restructuring at Disney continues under CEO Bob Iger, tough decisions regarding people’s careers with the company are being made.

The jobs of 7,000 Disney employees will be eliminated as the company tries to save $5.5 billion in costs.

Stephen A. Smith, on a recent episode of his podcast K[no]w Mercy, said ESPN is not going to escape unscathed.

“ESPN is under the Disney umbrella,” Smith said. “They’re going to have cuts coming.”

ESPN has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs in recent years. According to Front Office Sports, 700 jobs have been cut, including those of anchors, reporters and analysts, since 2015.

Stephen A., who has an annual salary of $13 million, said no one’s job is safe.

“Hell, for all I know, I might be one of them,” Smith said. “Now, I doubt that. But it’s possible. No one knows.”

A company declaring bankruptcy is never good for the people at the top. Steve Rosenberg is experiencing that right now. He is out as the president of Diamond Sports Group.

John Ourand of Sports Business Journal reports that a memo went out to the company on Monday morning announcing the change. In it, Diamond CEO David Preschlack wrote that CFO David DeVoe will assume Rosenberg’s responsibilities for now.

Steve Rosenberg joined Sinclair in 2020. He replaced Jeff Krolik as the company’s president of local sports.

Last week, Diamond Sports Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company intends to work out new deals with the NBA and NHL for its Bally Sports RSNs in hopes that it will remain in tact. Ourand writes that an attempt to do the same with Major League Baseball has not yielded meaningful results as of yet.

“With the recent appointments we have made to the senior leadership team, and the talented staff we have throughout the organization, I am confident in this team’s ability to work together to execute our strategic goals at this time,” Preschlack wrote in his memo.
