I wonder if they know something that we don't know
I really like Harold. That's too bad. He really knows the game.
LOL, the only thing you excerpted was:

I guess one of the rumors is sexual harassment on some of the Production Assistants.
I liked Reynolds. Otherwise, they should fire everyone but Ravech & Gammons, especially Kruk, Destrades (sp?) & Phillips.

Loads of irony and inconsistency here.
It was reported that Mike Tirico's early years at ESPN were marked by numerous incidents of sexual harassment up to and including the laying on of hands. Many of the stories were corroborated and I believe Tirico was disciplined. Of course, he was one of the few black on-air ESPN employees and to jettison him would have caused a PR firestorm. Tirico, of course, advanced to become lead golf announcer for ABC and one of ESPN's lead college football announcers. If the stories are true about Tirico it's sad that his behavior was rewarded in the interest of 'affirmative action' but liberals have so many spokes in their special-interest Wheel of Fortune that they eventually have to choose the 'progressive' cause of the day.
The Reynolds rumors seem very similar but hey ESPN's all about the hoops these days YO so a well-spoken black on-air personality talking about crusty old baseball is expendable.
Not condoning Reynolds' inappropriate actions if there were any but there is obviously a double standard here.
They are invoking the rarely used ... "only one former first round draft pick that was an outfielder from the 1980's by the Mariner's rule" and making way for Tino Martinez (88). Reynolds was the Mariners first round draft choice in 80.
Tino of course will only hold the spot until Ken Griffey Jr (87) retires and ESPN has to invoke the rule again.
It's a shame. He was the best guy on BBTN. Probably some unsubstantiated allegation about sexual harrassment. It also could be a PC infringement, but HR has some PC antibiotics given that he's black.
Is everyone on this site nuts? Harold Reynolds was awful and half the time his points made no sense. And on top of it he had the delivery of OJ Simpson; he couldn't talk well!
Sorry, he sucked.
