    ESPN Radio just said Jim Hendry fired ... then they rescinded it

    On Cowherd's show, he said he had breaking news that Cubs GM Jim Hendry has been fired ... but then he "rescinded" the news until he could confirm it. Interesting.

    Cowherd now saying he made a mistake ... he read something that he thought was a report that was actually "speculation." Wow, epic mistake on live radio there. He's gonna hear about that one. He's trying to play it down right now like nothing happened. But you don't report someone is fired and then just try and pretend like nothing happened.

    From Twitter:
    My bad about Jim Hendry line, which I immediately retracted. I misread a line in front of my face. #i'madope

    Cowherd's right about one thing: he's a dope. How do you make a mistake like that? Unless you are 100% certain you don't break a story that big. The rush to be first with the scoop makes people do stupid things.

    Cowherd is a dope. One of the most irritating personalities ever. Someone should fire him.

    It's not exactly a Frank Reynolds/ABC type blunder.

    Joey Votto would agree with that.

    Hopefully Cowherd is getting an earful from his bosses for doing that. If he were a reporter at a newspaper a generation ago and did that, he'd be looking for work now.

    Was that the "death" of James Brady at the time of the Reagan shooting?
