Easterbrook Fired

According to Roger Simon, Gregg has been fired from his job at ESPN.

I agree with both him and Glenn (where I got the link) that this is gross over reaction on ESPN's part.

I agree with Glenn that this is probably a consquence of the Rush Limbaugh hassles that they went through.

Another way to look at it is that one of the people that Gregg's original post targeted was Michael Eisner and since ESPN is (I think) owned by Disney, well you can connect those dots yourself.

Update: It looks like I was way ahead of the curve on this one.
Glenn is reporting that both Jonah Goldberg and Rishawn Biddle have connected the dots, as I suggested, and agree with me that the Disney link is a lot more important than was first thought.

Far be it for me to toot my own horn but you heard it here first.
