It took me awhile to warm up to her on Gameday, but I think she's good on it now. I didnt like losing Samantha Steele, but she has hit a major blonde wall, let the NFL show that literally no one watches keep her.

Would Maria Taylor have the ability to leak that shit? lol.
If it was between Nichols/Lebron's people I'm not sure where Maria Taylor would be inserted to be able to leak that.
All of these people are pretty replaceable imo. "Hey Coach what's your plan" "We'd like to win" "Great stuff coach best of luck, back to you guys in studio"

An ESPN production employee originally leaked parts of the video last year. I am sure it is not a stretch that Maria Taylor's people were able to get the entire video and then leaked it. She is the only one who benefits from its leaking.
Maria Taylor is good on GameDay. I never watch Countdown. Last year she was getting criticism because she left an obvious choice off of her All-NBA teams, and she responded that she worked really hard to get where she is at. Well, not in that instance.
Rachel Nichols audio was leaked when she was talking to an adviser to LeBron and Rich Paul. She said:
“I wish Maria Taylor all the success in the world — she covers football, she covers basketball,” Nichols said in July 2020. “If you need to give her more things to do because you are feeling pressure about your crappy longtime record on diversity — which, by the way, I know personally from the female side of it — like, go for it. Just find it somewhere else. You are not going to find it from me or taking my thing away.”
The adviser apparently responded that he was exhausted over BLM and #MeToo and Rachel Nichols laughed.
A new report reveals that NBA Countdown stars Jalen Rose, Adrian Wojnarowski and Jay Williams, along with staff members, were prepared to boycott the show because ESPN had taken the side of Rachel Nichols in a dispute that has been boiling for about a year.
Rachel Nichols tried to apologize to Maria Taylor and Maria Taylor wouldn't talk to her. Supposedly they are never on camera together or interact on ESPN shows now.
I'm just laughing at Woj getting roped into the boycott.
