To bad he couldn't stick n stay one last time, to make his Tweet end in rhyme..:grin: You will be missed!
Joel, I wish I felt bad. I wish I wanted to remember the times we had. Don't you understand that rhyming everything is dumb? I don't want you to end up a bum. Wish you and your family the best of luck. I'M SO THANKFUL I DON'T HAVE TO HEAR YOU RHYME AGAIN, YOU ANNOYING ****.

Look at that Tad Brown. Ran to the Chronicle to "deny" the Harden rumor. "No comment. We'll address Joel in the offseason."
My guess is that Morey and Les called him into Les' office after a slow start last game and fired him and replaced him with his assistant. We should get an angry tweet from Mrs. Blank in the next day or two.
Morey: The players were not responding to Joel on the broadcast. We needed to make a change. We'll continue to change out the broadcast crew until we get it right. Matt Thomas is the interim broadcaster. We have complete faith he'll do a great job. KHOU's Lisa Hernandez (I believe?) Save your crocodile tears Leslie!
This needs more attention. Tad Brown is simply a lap dog for Les. Get rid of the whole front office before this team becomes a laughing stock... oh wait.
Hmm..don't know how to tie his tweets to him getting fired..my guess was he didnt want to travel so much with the baby at home, so they parted ways. "im a good dude" is just an awkward thing to tweet though
I didn't care for the rhyming but I love Lisa Hernandez so I'm torn. Eh, good luck Joel, take care of that beautiful woman. OTOH, Tad Brown is a piece of work. If they're cleaning house you can't leave him in charge of anything. Oooooh, weird on Twitter.. AQS18 asked Joel at 1:18pm why he got fired and Joel responded asking him who said that. So looks like he may have quit for some reason. Maybe they're having trouble managing their schedules, both he and Lisa working nights? Hmm.
