Then I'm sure you also remember Harold getting fired by ESPN for sexual harrassment at the end of July. Well, now Harold is going to get his revenge for what he feels was an undeserved punishment.
Reynolds is taking his former employer to court.
"I have tried everything possible to handle this situation quietly behind closed doors. After numerous conversations and multiple mediation discussions with ESPN executives, it is clear that ESPN had no intention of solving this problem amicably. For 11 years, I served ESPN with enthusiasm and dedication. It is unfortunate that ESPN has handled this process in an unprofessional manner. At the end of the day, my integrity, reputation and family are my top priorities, and for those reasons I need to set the record straight and clear my name."
We hope Harold wins his case. We weren't very happy when he lost his job, as he was the only person on Baseball Tonight besides Karl Ravech and Peter Gammons who we wouldn't like to see killed.
Fire John Kruk.
Fire Jeff Brantley.
Fire Steve Phillips.
Fire Orestes Destrade.
Fire everybody but Ravech, Gammons and Reynolds! They're all we ever really needed.
So he tried to get a little play from some of the ladies working in the studio.
So what?
If you were forced to sit between John Kruk and Steve Phillips for an hour, you'd run after the first woman you saw too, it's only natural.
Of course ESPN doesn't want Reynolds to win his case, nor do they think he will. In the words of spokesman Josh Krulewitz,
"The suit is without merit. We stand by our decision and have no further comment now that litigation has begun."
Them's fightin' words!!
(Update: As always, the Smoking Gun has come up with a copy of the complaint.)

Reynolds between Kruk and Philips is like the old kids joke: left nut, right nut, dick in the middle.
I miss the dick.
Yes, I realize what that sounded like.
