ESPN’s takeover of NFL Network could see dramatic changes to itson-air personnel.The network’s billion-dollar acquisition of multiple NFL media assets appears to be coming with a major overhaul in personnel.ESPN’s $3 billion takeover of NFL Network became official last weekGettyThe deal became official last week, and reports emerged that Dan Orlovsky is losing his role in the No.2 game-calling team.Orlovsky appears to be just one of the victims of the shakeup, with the rest of the No.2 team including Chris Fowler and Louis Riddick Jr. also reportedly losing their roles, per Andrew Marchand of The Athletic.Orlovsky has found himself in the crosshairs of fans and fellow analysts recently after claiming that Ty Simpson is the better quarterback than Fernando Mendoza in the upcoming NFL draft.It was even suggested by some fans that Orlovsky was pushing an agenda on behalf of his agent, as he and Simpson are represented by the same agency.Despite the controversy, long time First Take star Stephen A. Smith has issued a warning to his bosses, suggesting that re-shaping the entire No.2 crew could be a big mistake.“I’m going to say this on national television to the bosses at ESPN, we need to cherish the people that we have,” Smith said.“I don’t think Dan Orlovsky’s gonna be here too much longer, because this man knows his damn football, and somebody’s gonna get smart enough and scoop him up.“Somebody is gonna come to their damn senses and give Louis Riddick a GM job… somebody is gonna scoop up Ryan Clark who is obviously a brilliant football analyst.“They’re gonna scoop him up! We have very elite minds here in the sport of football, right here at this network.”Orvlovsky, Fowler and Riddick Jr. began working together three years ago.Stephen A.

It’s really, really hard to have any respect for him as a professional at this point,” one fan commented.“Dan Orlovsky is not in the business of vetting anything. Just rambling for clicks,” a second added.“My biggest issue with Dan as an NFL analyst is his inability to ever admit when he is wrong,” a third concluded.Stay up to date with the latest from the NFL across all platforms – follow our dedicated talkSPORT USA Facebook page and subscribe to our talkSPORT USA YouTube channel for all the news, exclusives, interviews and more.
