O'Brien fired! Kullman interm GM, announcement at 5pm
Unless it's a cruel joke, I just got a newsbit saying it just happened. No joke. Official announcement set later this afternoon.

Re: Rumor: O'Brien fired!
Could explain why the Reds pulled out of the deal for Mota. (see Crisp thread)

I have a feeling this is just a rumor. It doesn't seem to mesh with RC statements at his press conference. If this comes to pass, you'll truely be a Big Donkey around here. Otherwise you'll just be a large jackass.  GL Last edited by gonelong; 01-23-2006 at 02:37 PM. |

Re: Rumor: O'Brien fired!
Buddy of mine called from Philly ...
Said he read somewhere else overnight that O'Brien and Allen are both supposedly set to be fired.
