ESPN fires Hugh Douglas

[Reggie]

He must have been the one who initiated it since he got fired and Smith didn't. And it had to be somewhat major for him to get fired on the spot pretty much.

Damn I actually hate to see Hugh go. Guys like Herm Edwards, Keyshawn and Hugh I'm not exactly looking for a picture perfect breakdown of football, I just want to be informed slightly and entertainment mostly, being funny is good enough for me and they were. I get Hugh is expendable, but replaceable remains to be seen you can't just throw any former athlete on a show and make it work where it's entertaining.

Well, this definitely sheds more light on the situation. I was wondering why Hugh was straight up fired and not suspended or something like that, from the TMZ article Hugh basically gave ESPN the green light to let him go and since apparently the opinion of him isn't that high at Coli, ESPN or anywhere else for that matter they did. I doubt Hugh will have more to say about this since speaking on any type of racial slurs or derogatory terms isn't going to help him get his next job and explaining it wouldn't make the situation any better. Just KIM, Hugh.

I don't even watch this show, but I caught the end when I was recording something else about a month back. The tension between the two was really heavy. Seemed like Hugh was on some, you don't know nothin about football, so I'll pile drive you until understand type of mentality. Had that look like he wanted a sack. When I saw the headline I thought it was going to be about that little segment that I saw.

Michael SMith and Jemele Hill probably were key figures at that NBJconference and they probably invited Hugh to begin with.

By him showing out the way he did, and everyboy finding out about it, that did him in.

Cism involved?
