Zack Bolno "abruptly" leaves

Wow, that is pretty cold to fire the guy just for shutting down a dicey interview. Maybe some nasty words were exchanged between AH and the PR guy or the PR guy and the press.

I doubt that was all. It might be as simple as Shanny/Allen wanting to bring in their own PR guy. Maybe last night did have something to do with it but I doubt it was a knee-jerk reaction.

Why would you fire a guy on a Sunday after a preseason game, and one of the best PR guys around? These guys need to be a bit more savvy and do things in a way that doesn't generate media or fan questioning. Only leads to speculation and drama. You want to fire a guy, you usually do it Monday morning or Friday after work. I bet words were exchanged last night.

I don't know, but I'm not going to speculate that it was because somebody let Albert run loose to the press and start mouthing off again. It was probably a cumulation of things, and maybe the final straw was what happened last night. I highly doubt everything was fine and dandy Saturday morning with him, and then Snyder/Allen/Shanny saw Haynesworth mouth off to the media, and then one of them said, damnit, we need to do something drastic here, Zack, you've done a great job so far, but you're fired. Either he had worn out his welcome and last night was the final straw, or there was something going on behind the scenes that we had no clue about.
