Scott Van Pelt set the record straight about his potential ‘Monday Night Countdown’ slotting.
ESPN’s firings are part of an effort to save tens of millions of dollars, sparked by Disney’s restructuring.
Disney –– ESPN’s majority owner –– announced in February a plan to cut 7,000 jobs across the company, trickling down to ESPN’s staff and employees.Van Pelt said last month that as the “SportsCenter” host for much longer, but is nonetheless gearing up for his ninth season come August.“This was a situation where something was reported about me, which was not accurate,” Van Pelt said.
“Now, I don’t want to be coy and act like it couldn’t happen … But if it doesn’t for whatever reason, there are plenty of great men and women at our place that could do as good or better than I in that spot. But, for the moment, I’m supposed to go back in August and hunker down for year nine, and off we go.”
