Lyons' Firing: It's about time

[Elvado]

unfortunately, he was not fired for his incompetence, the real reason he ought to go. Instead, he gets the axe for insensitivity. Kind of like taking the wrong road to the right place. He should have been fired years ago, for offending any intelligent baseball fan with his nonsense.

Not surprising that his incompetence had no impact on his job status. Being able to speak intelligently about baseball is not a requirement for a job as a baseball announcer, and it hasn't been for a long time.

the new york times had an article about how bad of a job fox was doing before lyons got fired

www.nytimes.com/2006/10/10/sports/baseball/10sandomir.html?_r=1&ref=sports&oref=slogin

I like how the NY Times doesn't bring up the fact that Joe Buck and Tim McCarver should only be a network's #1 broadcasting team for baseball in Hell.
