I haven't watched Jay and Dan for years because they're kind of shit. Their whole thing is to kind of be "Hello, fellow kids" sort of. Anyways, I remember a few years back they left TSN here in Canada to go work in the US for Fox Sports. Then they got cancelled and came back here. According to Dan's Wikipedia page regarding that:Apparently, Bell Media (a Leaf company that does mobile networks and programming) just laid off a bunch of people, immediately after their big "charity hashtag event for mental health", and one of the guys they let go is taking shots at them.

I'm not sure if the guy actually has mental health issues, although he has some amount of a point about the massive impact a year of being locked down has had on mental health in general, and the hypocrisy of a company that dedicates considerable time and money to talking about how much they help with mental health. Bell hasn't made any kind of controversial statements about lockdowns, either for or against, that I'm aware of, though. Anyways, there's a few retards creeping into the discussion, reeing about shit like "Welcome to the revolution!", as though being released from your job of "getting paid pretty well to spend your time talking about rich sportsball players" is logical grounds for anything like a revolution.
There was more retarded replies to the whole situation, but I'm not screenshotting anymore, because they make me dumb.
During the week of Super Bowl 50, O'Toole was unusually harsh and biting toward his employers at Fox Sports 1. He sent several tweets toward people that were the subject of a Deadspin news article. The tweets may have been attributed to the recent layoffs and budget cuts at Fox Sports Live.[5] On February 23, 2017, Fox Sports Live was cancelled and the two hosts' contracts were not renewed.
And then there's even more which I didn't know about. Dan seems to be a bit off to say the least:
O'Toole announced the birth of his third daughter, Oakland, on May 26, 2020.[10]
On July 2, 2020, O'Toole announced on Twitter and his Instagram page that his one-month-old daughter Oakland was missing, but that he believed her to be alive.[11] Hours later, after controversially retorting to a reporter trying to help, he posted that Oakland had been located.[12] According to a Durham Regional Police police contact, there was never any abduction and crime.[13] O'Toole has since deleted all of his Twitter and Instagram posts which pertain to this matter.
I'm going to err on the side of saying that he probably does have some mental issues. I'm also going to say that he's probably just a hassle for everyone and he's using his issues as a way to act like it's unfair that they've had enough of him and don't see him as someone worth keeping around. Does he think that having a mental illness is somehow supposed to suddenly grant them that job position until the end of time?
It makes me think a bit of the Colin Kaepernick situation where teams weren't interested in signing him. They weren't uninterested in him because of his political stance or beliefs like he tries to present it to people (and how many non-football fans gobbled up). It's because he's simply not good enough to justify the distractions and headaches. He wasn't nor was he ever going to be Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees or Russell Wilson (all four having sterling reputations as both players and people) or someone worthy of dealing with the headaches because what they did on the field more than made up for it. There's a reason that guys with big issues like Antonio Brown and Josh Gordon (both blacker than Colin for the record) have gotten about a dozen second chances while Kaepernick hasn't and it's not because they've ever been all pro-MAGA or posting about the thin blue line.
