No argument from me...I was on the field working a tournament on Friday, Saturday and Sunday...so I didn't hear about it until yesterday morning...I guess I thought I heard that FOX was announcing the firing yesterday...but if it was Friday, so be it. He's still T-O-A-S-T.

OK, I'm lost. Whom are we talking about, and what did he do?

(1) Ex-FOX Broadcaster Steve Lyons
(2) He got fired for saying allegedly racist comments about Latinos (Hispanic-Americans) on air during Friday's broadcast.

Whether the comments were "racist" or not is certainly being debated. For instance check out:
