Halloween Comes Early: Clarke & the Fat Man Axed
With little respect for church-going folks, the Flyers snuck in a hastily-arranged press conference at 10 am today (Sunday) to announce “reorganization” of the club as they put it.
To me, reorganizing is something you do to your garage or desk or junk drawer. What the Flyers did Sunday is more like carpet bombing their front office. Great PR spin though, using the term reorganization. (Expect to see it employed by the White House to describe the war in Iraq. “It’s not so much an invasion or a war, it’s more like a reorganization of the country.”)
Clarke is gone. It’s long overdue. Hitch is gone. Not sure if it was time but 4 years of a shitty power play is reason enough. Maybe he should have kept the mustache. Well, there’s always the new Capt. Kangaroo movie if Hitch is looking for immediate employment.
Esche has to go next along with others. Buy out Rathje or put him on waivers. Find some speed and guts for your Defence.
Gotta hand it to Ed Snider: No other multi millionaire in the world is even half as angry as this guy. What’s the use of all that money if you’re mad all the time, Ed? Smile every once in a while. You got all our money.
Love, like, or hate the Flyers: It is never boring in Philly, especially on this Sunday morning at 10 am.
