Recapping Our Top Story

Harold Reynolds has been released from his duties at ESPN.

Early reports of sexual harassment as the impetus for Reynolds' removal have been widely struck down as mere rumor. The more likely reason appears to be HR's dissatisfaction with sports network's round the clock coverage of A-Rod's bad week.

Apparently, according to a few message board posts, there was a "heated exchange" between Reynolds and Baseball Tonight's resident blow hard, John Kruk, regarding A-Rod's recent blip on what is sure to be a Hall of Fame career.

What ever the reason, it is clear that Baseball Tonight is now unwatchable and the decline of ESPN is full swing.

I'm sick of the coverage of A-Rod, too. I personally don't give a rat's patoot about him, Barry Bonds, or the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry. The overabundance of attention paid to those stories/teams has begun to turn me off baseball, if only because I can't get decent analysis and information without being inundated with, "This 912th game between the Red Sox and Yankees over the past three years is the THE most important event in the history of the Milky Way."
