10/18/2003 Entry: "Easterbrook fired"

EASTERBROOK FIRED: Earlier this week a controversy erupted when Greg Easterbrook wrote in his blog about Jews, violence and Hollywood. He deservingly was thrashed for comments that were widely perceived to be incredibly insulting. Easterbrook apologized but the damage has been done and lot of people weren't convinced.

The comments were made at The New Republic but ESPN, for whom Easterbrook writes the hugely popular Tuesday Morning Quarterback column, has decided to fire him. Roger Simon spoke to Easterbrook and reports here while Glenn Reynolds blogs some other news about it here.
