Re: Ex-Toronto Sportscaster Starting Over After Very Public ESPN Firing

I just re-read this article and while I sympathize with anyone who's out of work (although he's now found employment) I'm a lot less sympathetic with the way he simply sloughs off the fact he leaked secret network info to a blogger. He says, in essence, "it was just once!" as if that somehow excuses it. 

And then he originally denied it to his boss's face, outright lying to his employer. 

And he wonders why this simple act got him so publicly canned? 

"Ultimately, I’m hurt that I was that replaceable for doing something I thought was relatively benign.”

I'm no fan of ESPN or Disney, who always play hardball, but I probably would have turfed this guy, too. Especially when he makes excuses about how it was a "one time thing." He may have a great baseball knowledge, but he seems clueless to me.
