Via NY Post:
Longtime NFL reporter/insider Josina Anderson is out at ESPN, The Post has learned.
The move with Anderson has been anticipated since the Super Bowl when it was first reported that she and ESPN could be parting ways.
The official move with Anderson is unrelated to any cutting of personnel related to the coronavirus’ economic impact on Disney and ESPN.
ESPN declined comment, while Anderson did not return messages.
It is unclear what is next for 41-year-old Anderson. Over her nearly nine years with ESPN, she has had some good gets, including a sit-down with Antonio Brown this year.
However, she ran into trouble at times with ESPN executives. After the Myles Garrett incident in which the Browns defensive lineman hit Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph with Rudolph’s helmet, Anderson tweeted, “I would bet Myles Garrett will say he heard Mason Rudolph call him something egregious. Never seen Garrett act like that, ever.”
She also tweeted out an image in which she said Rudolph grabbed Garrett in a private area.
She later apologized for it and said other angles proved her original tweet was incorrect.
According to the report, network veterans Field Yates, Jeremy Fowler, Dan Graziano and Dianna Russini will help fill the void left by Anderson as well as newcomer Kimberley Martin, who joined ESPN from Yahoo Sports in March.
Anderson made regular appearances on “Sunday NFL Countdown,” “NFL Live,” and “SportsCenter.”
