ric bucher should be fired


Remember a couple months ago when Ric Bucher said there was a 0% chance of Kobe playing on opening day for the Lakers? I do. I captured it in this post.

Here's the thing. It's not that this guy got it wrong, and I should cut him some slack because everyone makes mistakes...It's that he went out of his way to make a bold prediction to get attention to himself, and he went as far as saying 0%. If he can get away with saying whatever he wants, and not be accountable, why should he continue to be a reporter.

Hold on, this just in from Hoagie Central Worldwide:

Breaking: There's a 100% chance that Manny Ramirez started taking steroids in 2004.*

But if it turns out that this story is wrong, who cares? Just chalk it up as a mistake.
