ESPN fires Hugh Douglas

[dunkman6]

Hugh Douglas is no longer an ESPN employee.

“He no longer works for us effective today,” said an ESPN spokesperson.

The former NFL player and Numbers Never Lie panelist was let go by ESPN today after disturbing details emerged last week from Deadspin and The Big Lead regarding an alleged confrontation between Douglas and ESPN Numbers Never Lie host Michael Smith at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention and Career Fair in Orlando. ESPN issued a statement last Tuesday saying, “We are aware there was a disagreement between Hugh Douglas and Michael Smith. We are looking into the situation.”

Asked Sunday by SI.com where the situation stood, ESPN spokesperson Rob Tobias said, “We are continuing to look into it and we expect a resolution this week.”

That resolution has come today.

Calling Hugh Douglas a commentator is a gross misappropriation of the word, he was more of an idiot box.

I hate when n1ggas moments happen in public places.

There are a couple jobs in Mansfield, Ohio.

You can always go home, Hugh.
