SVG danced around the edges, but you can read between the lines.


Perhaps I should have started a thread :)

When I saw that thread, I knew it had a really familiar ring.


Sorry, closg. I hadn't heard. :)

It's all-good CCJ, I was just surprised nobody discussed this earlier. Steinbergs article came-out 3-4 days after the AM 980 interview. Good discussion.

We are going to need them to lose with a full deck of cards. Hopefully this streak is the high point of the season so EG can get canned by season end.

And yes I'm a fan but I'm not going to get caught up in a feel good run to end the season. Not again. It's ridiculous how having the 3rd worst record in the NBA since 2003 can have a guy keep his job.

I saw this as a tweet on my phone. Unfortunately, the deal appears to be for folks outside of the states. Apologies folks.

How has this fallen to page 2?! Looks like alot of heat from fans and media to fire Ernie has faded. This would be tragic

It fell to page 2 because most Wiz fans have given up hope that Ted will come to his senses and do the right thing.

So where is the clock on this count down.

I have been watching these kind of threads for years now. That is one slow ass clock.

If its going to happen. Its going to very likely be at least another year. That was always the case. Ted signed EG to a two year contract. That mean EG was going to get...


Two years.
From 2008 to 2011 How many games did Nene not play. Answer 12
I hope he can return to that.

Ernie will never be fired, he is Wizard GM for-life unfortunately, as was Unseld until he retired.
