(It might be mentioned that he also pulled down his pants on the field as a player.)<BR/><BR/>Lyons explained/defended each of the comments he was reprimanded/fired for. He tested his Jewish joke with other Jewish friends, and they didn't mind. The cameras/director of the broadcast continued showing the gentleman with the big dark glasses, and no one in the booth understood why or what they were, so as color commentator, Lyons commented. Just so happens the spectator was kinda blind.<BR/><BR/>And he was looking for an opportunity to bring back Pinella's analogy, and Pinella wasn't offended and actually felt that was one of their better games in the booth together because of their teasing banter. Of note also, the LA Dodgers, who have a fairly large Hispanic population in their demographic zone, are keeping Lyons on as a radio/TV man.<BR/><BR/>I'm conflicted personally, because I don't think Lyons should have been fired, but I agree with the firing of Lamar Thomas, the former player qua commentator, who embraced the actions of the Hurricane players in the "riot" going so far as to challenge FIU to another brawl after the game.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486681777716496640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27807460.post-1161224592408864172006-10-18T22:23:00.000-04:002006-10-18T22:23:00.000-04:00I just like the idea of autopsying a corpus.I just like the idea of autopsying a corpus.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03820693522030084335noreply@blogger.com
