Not Harold!

Posted by Coley Ward on Tuesday July 25th 2006, 2:11 pm - filed in News reel

This came out of left field. The New York Post is reporting that ESPN has fired Harold Reynolds!

Reynolds is not commenting and ESPN won’t say why they’ve fired the Baseball Tonight host.

So what gives? Reynolds is generally viewed as one of the most likeable guys in sports. He was known as a player-friendly television voice. He was named as one of President Bush’s 1,000 points of light, for god’s sake.

And now he’s gone. Why?

Conspiracy theories abound. Did he sleep with an intern? Does he have a drug problem? Did he bad-mouth the company? Did he steal office supplies? Was he watching porn on his desktop computer (Definitely not. The ESPN firewalls won’t even let employees access The Onion)?

Only one thing is for sure: Baseball Tonight, which is already without human baseball encyclopedia Peter Gammons, who is recovering from a brain aneurysm, is a weaker show without Reynolds.
