ESPN started laying off top talent in a major cost-cutting effort on Friday. Thankfully, an LSU football legend and major on-air personality survived.
LSU football alumnus and current football analyst Marcus Spears remains with ESPN following a gauntlet of hefty layoffs that included major talent. However, some fans feared the opposite after the Tigers’ former defensive lineman posted a perceived ‘goodbye’ tweet.

Spears later clarified that his tweet was regarding his now-former colleagues that the worldwide sports leader dismissed.
