ESPN fires Harold Reynolds

Maybe this belongs in Suckage:

Quote:
BRISTOL, Conn. - Harold Reynolds is out at ESPN, reportedly fired from his job as a baseball analyst.

Reynolds, a member of the “Baseball Tonight” team for 11 years, made his last appearance on the show Sunday night, ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said Tuesday.

The network refused to comment on a New York Post report that said Reynolds was dismissed, or to provide any details regarding his departure.

A couple of rumors:

Thirdhand info, but I'm told it's sexual harassment. There were allegations of inappropriate actions between him and female PAs on a couple different occasions, so I'm not entirely shocked.

OR

UPDATE: Another reader, with "contacts on the inside," refutes the sexual harassment whispers: "Anyone who is saying sexual harassment either has been given bad third-hand info or is lying. Harold has had a couple of rather heated arguments with the producers at "Baseball Tonight," and some of the suits at ESPN over the program's coverage of Alex Rodriguez.

So are you a Red Sox fan or a Yankees fan?

Well...I'm sorta a Red Sox fan, but Gammons had a lot of good insight. That team was pretty good, but I guess you disagree.

Reynolds knew his stuff, but annoyed me for some reason. I think ESPN made a blunder here.

The BIG question is who will they hire to replace him??? I vote for Ted Leitner. Of course only San Diego and Philadelphia fans know who he is.

I'm not a big baseball fan but whenever I heard Harold Reynolds talk about the game it sounded like he knew his stuff, gave good insight.

Not at all. I just always hear people complaining about Peter Gammons becuase he talks about the Red Sox and Yankees a lot, which considering their success and payrolls, should be expected.
