NEW YORK — ESPN was expected to lay off 20 people on Friday, including household names like former Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy, boxing expert Max Kellerman, NFL sideline reporter Suzy Kolber and NBA star Jalen Rose — on his 50th birthday.
Kolber confirmed she’s one of the on-air personalities The Hollywood Reporter said was on the chopping block. “Today I join the many hard-working colleagues who have been laid off,” she tweeted Friday. “Heartbreaking — but 27 years at ESPN was a good run.”
Kolber expressed gratitude for the decades she spent with the cable sports channel and said she was “especially proud” to have accomplished that as a woman largely covering men’s sports.
