Bob Cousy fired by Boston Celtics!!!!

According to published reports, the Celtics and their broadcasting partners Comcast, have decided Bob Cousy, the second best point guard in NBA history and a true American sports legend, is no longer attractive enough and young enough to broadcast his usual ten games for the team.

I think this is an outrage! Cousy may be 80 years young, but his class, intelligence, vitality, charisma, and basketball savvy made for fascinating broadcasting. I've been a fan of his announcing since my earliest years as a C's fan, back in the late 70's, then with the early Bird teams in the early 80's.

Cousy would always tell it like it was, which is part of what made last season's title run so much fun. The man simply cannot tell a lie, and as a viewer it was obvious that he loved the way the Big Three and their cohorts played the game. He will be missed.

Here's where you can contact CSN about your anger at the firing of The Cooz.

Edit: Here are the comments posted at ESPN.com concerning the firing of The Cooz. As you can tell by just giving them a cursory glance, there are a lot of moronic sports fans across the country. Am I too old to be posting a plea for support there? Probably. But it's worth a shot.
