I hope he doesn't try to massage Dick Stockton tonight...then again, Ron Darling may like it (sorry Mets fans, couldn't resist).

On July 25, 2006, Harold Reynolds was fired from ESPN. The ESPN spokeswoman confirmed that Reynolds "is no longer with the network" but did not give a reason for the departure.[2] "Three people who work at ESPN and familiar with the case said the cause was a pattern of sexual harassment."[3] Reynolds confirmed that an accusation of sexual harassment was the reason for his departure but called it "a total misunderstanding" and that "I gave a woman a hug and I felt like it was misinterpreted."[4]
It was announced on October 30, 2006 that Reynolds planned to sue ESPN after having tried "everything possible to handle this situation quietly behind the scenes," while stating that he is seeking the money owed to him under the remainder of his contract, including interest and lost earnings. He is also asking the court for damages for lost future opportunities.[5]

Does that sound like Sexual Harrassment to you guys?

from what I have heard inside the espn offices he was a repeat offender (3 or 4 times had been warned) and that particular time was the last straw.
