The First Cut Is The Deepest

Michael Jordan has been let go by the Washington Wizards after a three year association with the team. During his stay, which included two seasons of actual playing time, the Wizards failed to make the playoffs even once. A team source says the decision was made because of poor end results and widespread player dissension among the rest of the team. Jordan had made several scathing remarks about the other players during the past several months. He is getting a $10 million for being released early from his contract.

For his part, His Airness is expressing shock and outrage at the team's decision, saying he does not deserve such treatment.

Whatever. But if someone handed me $10 million bucks for getting fired, I'd shut my yap and head straight for the bank.
