The NFL needs to make cost-cutting layoffs? https://t.co/qYP66TIlMo
You’d think that when an entity as massive and profitable as the NFL has to do layoffs that the executives who put it in that position would see some of the blowback/consequences. Somehow that never happens. (Not to mention, with all their $, there is no way they *need* layoffs.) https://t.co/CrAWpVkuFa
The NFL prints money - why are they laying off anyone, especially in media?
Very disappointed to hear about @mikeseidel being laid off from The Weather Channel. He’s one of the best in the game and someone I looked up to growing up. Goes to show you how brutal the TV industry can be. I’m sure he will land on his feet in due time. https://t.co/1YSMfNG5us

Really bummed to hear Mike Seidel was laid off from TWC by Allen Media. I always enjoyed his live coverage of storms and everyone I've talked to at TWC talks about what a kind person he is. Business can be brutal.
