>> reporter: i'm hearing that the ax has already fallen according to multiple sources including espn 98 0rbgs a radio station owned by dan snyder himself. there is no official word coming from the redskins. all sources are reporting that the redskins team plane landed here this morning and by 4:45 this more than, jim zorn was leaving the building. jim zorn has hired as the redskins offensive coordinator in january of 2008 and then upgraded to head coach. he had never been a coordinator in the nfl l before the redskins hired him. the redskins have given no fill word of his firing but multiple sources are reporting it and those same sources seem to think that mike shanahan, the former broncos coach, will be the next in line after his press conference last night in san diego. it am seemed jim zorn knew what was going to happen. >> since this is our last game, i just wanted to thank everybody for all the efforts, especially our local media who follows us around who is dealing with the likes of me every week and i really appreciate . it has been a very difficult season for you as well as

just in the beltway who are saying every time i turn on tv, he's on the cooking channel, then he's on espntalked about baseball and whatever, and that's fine. on the other side of it, i will say i think there was a lot of pundits overdoing that he was overexposed, because frankly, it's a free country. and if he wants to use these new media, he has that ability to do it. it was effective for him in the campaign. but i think there are diminishing returns from that, and i think we saw in the healthcare battle earlier, he was on a lot and he wasn't really moving a needle, it wasn't moving it forward. he kind of pulled back for a while and was not out there every single day, and now it looks like he's on the verge potentially of a victory. so i think he's free to do what he wants, and i think they're still seeing in the white house that sometimes flooding it and going out there everywhere can move the ball forward for them. other times they've got to pull back. the whoups has sort of turned this around on the media, the president hasn't had a full-fledged news conference since i think july or j

. >> a much different take across town on the john thompson show on espn 980. the hall of fame coach can't find any scenario to try to defend the actions of arenas admitting bringing firearms into the locker room. >> i was hurt, frustrated truth three trying to figure -- figure out a way to jump up and say something to help him. the frustrating part about it is i can see no way possible of justifying that. no way. that bothers me as much as anything. >> nba super agent david falk has negotiated contracts for players for over 35 years. he finds this situation truly a head scratcher. as to why arenas would continue to make a joke of a very serious situation. >> gilbert's gesture after introductions when he mocked firing the gun, was basically a way of mocking david stern. he made -- he may not have looked at it that way, but anyone who knows a person in position of authority like david has to be, he forced david's hand. >> while arenas sits at home and waits for potential punishment, there is the right of wizards have of terminating the remainder of his six-year,

>> the element of cable division took 17 years for leaders like espn to wm v become profitable twitter, facebook are new to that. cyber possibilities are faster now, but too early to tell will facebook go public in 2010 and what impact on the average use fuhr it does? >> well, at nielsen we have a partnership with facebook to help improve out the value of advertising on their site to marketers and we're very proud that have. very excited about that. it's not my place to comment if and when they'll go, they'll dp public, but let me say the following, they have over 100 million users just in the u.s. many more than that internationally, they're growing in all the demographics and they have privileged access to the youngest,hardest to reach demographics, teens and young adults, a great position to be in. on top of that, they're starting to mon advertise through some search deals with google and microsoft and others and the next is to prove that proposition out more. if they were to go public if equity markets allowed it would be a great story and only get stronger going forward. >> shanno

espn has been a terrific business. business channel, then done incredible things. family channel was once a really bad deal. now looks like a great channel. disney is firing wonderfully. we were right after 2001 theme park attendance was at a low. there was a shareholder revolt going on. there was the founding family say we want change. there was a vote coming up, and somehow, right or wrong, there was discussion between parties involved with both companies on a back channel basis that said, maybe now that you've done a at&t, you'd like to come in and put our two companies together. we openly throughout that idea. they said no thank you. and pretty quickly we said, we are not in the business to go in and completely disrupt and over pay and stock today's 30, up from 20. not to me stocks have done as well as does a. i think it's the best performing stock in this space. so i think we did find a good value point. one of the questions on this transaction, moving us off of that back to today, is we are making a bet just as back then. is easy in the rearview mirror to see

i turn on a tv, obama is on all five sunday shows, then he's on the cooking channel, then he's on espn, talking baseball or whatever, and that's fine. you know, on the other side of it, i will say i think there was a lot of, you know, pundits, overdoing that he was over exposed, because you know, frankly, it's a free country, and if he wants to use these new media, he has that ability to do it. it was effective for him in the campaign. but i think there are diminishing returns sometimes and i think we saw in the health care battle earlier, he was on a lot and he wasn't really moving the needle. he wasn't moving it forward. he kind of pulled back for a while and was not out there every single day and now it looks like he's on the verge potentially of a victory. so i mean, i think he's slated to do what he wants and i think they're still seeing in the white house that sometimes flooding it and going out there everywhere, can move the ball forward for them. other times, they've got to pull back. a funny side note is that the white house has sort of turned this around on the media and the

according to espn the oakland raiders have reached out to stanford's jim harbaugh as replacing tom cable as their head coach. sources inside and outside of the organization however harbaugh did not express interest in job. cable went 5-11 in his first full season in oakland. that's not all. quarterback's coach hugh jackson has intrude with the raiders as well. it could be for the position of offensive coordinator or even head coach even though cable has not yet been fired. reportedly al difference is looking for a coach to mentor former number one pick jamar cuss russell. >> i'm not sure if you've heard this kyle shanahan is the redskins offensive coordinator. texans led the nfl in passing yards in 2009 and ranked 4th in total offense all good things. >> meanwhile the skins also announced the addition of two more coaches mattly flour assistant under kyle last two years and john embry will coach tight ends he worked with tony gonzalez in kc. now here's something else to get excited about the redskins jumbotrons are get a bit of an upgrade are they really jumbotrons to begin with? >> nitro
