You just fired me.

"because of his age" sounds like an EEOC violation

This frustrates me big time. He brought an experience to the games with his announcements. Even during the lowest times.

This is just wrong in so many ways. I don’t even have a desire to go to the games now. It sickens me that much.

No idea who to believe with this. I was listening to him talk about how driving from Tampa to Orlando for every Magic game was getting tolling on him.

I feel like a legend like this should have an uber expensed for him to get to the games and back home. Cheap and selfish a** franchises after making hundreds of millions of dollars.

It should be Paul.
We need him, it’s going to get ugly with the Celtics fans trying to take the building over.
No Lightning interference (Game 2 is tonight).
