New Orleans Saints safety Teran Mathieu regrets recent ESPN layoffs, including well-known on-camera talents Susie Kolber and Steve Young.
Teran Mathieu tweeted:
“Damn, all the good people who raised and praised us through sports and TV on ESPN are going into a new chapter. It will definitely not be the same watching! I wish them all the best and hope to see them on TV again soon!”

Kolber returned to ESPN in 1999 after a three-year stint with Fox Sports. She was one of the original announcers of ESPN2 when it launched in 1993.
The University of Miami graduate has become a mainstay on Monday Night Football, SportsCenter, College GameDay, NFL32, NFL Matchup, SportsFigures, and Monday Night Countdown.
She tweeted after learning of her fate:
“Today I join several hard-working colleagues who have been laid off. Heartbreaking – but 27 years at ESPN has been a good run. So grateful to have worked for 38 years! I’m especially proud of the longevity of women in this business. Next step – a project that gives back .❤️
Like Tyrann Mathieu, Steve Young is also a multi-time All-Pro. He’s a three-time Super Bowl champion, two-time NFL Most Valuable Player, and a one-time Super Bowl MVP.
The BYU alumnus also made the Pro Bowl seven times. He was also inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005.
Young first appeared on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown in 2000. A year later, he became a full-time member of The Sports Network. He was a member of the Monday Night Countdown Committee prior to his layoff.
Who are the other ESPN personalities that Terán Mateu is grieving over?
Aside from Kolber and Young, Todd McShay also got a pink slip from ESPN. He’s been an NFL draft analyst since 2006 and became their team’s on-camera commentator three years later.
McShay also covered the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft with home plate.
Keyshawn Johnson and Matt Hasselbeck are former NFL players released by ESPN.
Hasselbeck is a three-time Pro Bowl quarterback who has played for four teams in 18 seasons. He was a former ‘Sunday NFL Countdown’ analyst.
Meanwhile, Johnson was the top overall pick in the 1996 NFL Draft and earned three Pro Bowl selections in his 11-year career.
Like Tyrann Mathieu, USC also has one Super Bowl title. Following his playing career, Keyshawn Johnson hosted a daily morning show on ESPNLA 710 AM from 2006 to 2010.
He also lent his voice to Sunday Night Countdown and Monday Night Countdown. He also co-hosts Keyshawn, JWill, and Max from ESPN Radio.
