It's easy, and only takes a few moments.But everyone really knows that little slut Stuart Scott wanted and even encouraged the attention.BelichickFan said:"We can't say for sure why Harold Reynolds was fired from ESPN yesterday, because ESPN hasn't put out a statement or anything (and they don't have to), but we can tell you what the chatter in Bristol is: Everyone is hearing sexual harassment. Every single email we've received from the inside about this today has used those very two words."
None of those things could get ESPN sued. Letting continued sexual harassment complaints slide, on the other hand, can.FreeTedWilliams said:I don't have any knowledge of who or what, I just think that if he was arrested and charged with dwi, drugs, wife beating, et al, I doubt highly that ESPN would have just fired him right away,

I'll tell you my beef with Joe Morgan: as a broadcaster, I think he's lazy. I'll give you a two examples:shakadave said:Meanwhile, I don't understand the negative comments here against Joe Morgan. I consider him the best I've ever heard. I learn new things about the game of baseball every time he does a game. As a back-to-back MVP, he's forgotten more baseball than I ever knew. Different tastes, I guess.

1. Last year, Morgan was doing a Sox game on Sunday night. 'tek had just come off the disabled list, but it was a Wakefield start and so Mirabelli was catching. For 6 inning, Joe was going on and on, "Why isn't Varitek out there? If he's still hurt he shouldn't have come off the disabled list... You should have you best players out there... I don't understand this logic..." Meanwhile, Miller is trying to tell him that Mirabelli catches the knuckleball better, but Joe still isn't listening, cause he keeps harping about it. He even went so far as to ask Francona about it during an interview between innings, eliciting an 'are you serious?' look I haven't seen since the day I asked my girlfriend if we really needed more than 6 plates in the house.
Lineups come out HOURS before the game starts. Had he bothered to actually do some pre-game research, he would have seen Mirabelli in the lineup and asked someone about it and found out that Mirabelli is Wake's personal catcher without going on air and embarassing himself to an entire region.
2. He's very proud of himself because he never read the book "Moneyball" and constantly puts down "the author Billy Beane." Congrats Joe, only the book was written by Michael Lewis. And if you've never read it, maybe you shouldn't critizes whats in it, considering you don't really know. It's his job to be knowledgable about all things baseball and just cause he might not agree with the philosophy of the book doesn't mean he still shouldn't have read it. It's called homework, Joe. Nobody likes it, but we all have to do it in our job at one time or another.
If you don't care enough to do the work and be ready to call a game, then retire and let someone else do it.
