Jordan booted

[Snoopy the Celtics Beagle <snoopy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Washington hired Jordan and paid him to do what he did.  They decided not 
to keep him, called him in and said goodbye.  Jordan needs to stop moaning 
about it.  Like it or not, they own the team and they can hire--AND 
fire--anyone they want.

His presence did not improve the team beyond boosting revenue at the gate 
this season.  His teammates--except Stackhouse--are as poorly trained and 
incohesive as they were LAST season.  They did not win a championship, they 
did not even make the playoffs.  They will not be a lottery team, so forget 
LeBron James, etc.  Basically, the overall impact of Jordan on the team is 
negligible.  How many times do you think the Wizards will be on national TV 
next season?  Sure, right after the Cavs/Hawks game.

In the few retirement speeches I've been subjected to from him, he always 
goes on about Chicago being his heart, his home, and all.  Zippo about 
Washington.  For crying out loud, before Jordan put a uniform back on, the 
DC area saw Red Auerbach on a regular basis a lot more than they ever saw 
Jordan.  After the season ended, Jordan complained about his 
teammates.  Get the man some glasses, cause Pippen is in Portland and 
Rodman went back to his home planet.  We're talking Jahaidi White and Kwame 
Brown.  What did he expect, instant All-Stars??

Now, after publicly complaining how he was unceremoniously booted after his 
contributions, he's supposedly talking to New Orleans and Charlotte.  Paul 
Silas could tell some stories about the Hornets treatment of personnel, and 
the Charlotte ownership blew a chance to have Larry Bird, who seems a whole 
lot more committed to working with the team than Jordan ever was.

MJ, go home.  STAY there.  We've had enough.
