I just wanted to get people's opinion on this. FOX Sports has fired Steve Lyons for racially insensitive comments during an ALCS broadcast. Here's the story on ESPN:

This has been a long time coming. Steve Lyons is an idiot. He's one of those "tough-guy" meat heads that only talks about "sucking it up" and "playing with pain" and offers no intelligent analysis while you're watching a baseball game. He was a terrible color commentator.
I'm just so happy when something bad happens to anyone affiliated with FOX Sports. Steve Lyons was a microcosm of how horrible FOX Sports is at broadcasting a sporting event. Hpoefully they'll hire someone intelligent to take his place, but I'm not holding my breath.
