I have difficulty thinking that as classy a person as Spags fired Hewit without reason. He was probably a lazy employee that hung around because his boss was loyal to him. Or maybe he just did a terrible job that interfered with the players ability to perform. (Late with having equipment ready causing delays on gameday/practice, or something.)
It is speculation, but the best I've got.
I like how the people there are "Not celebrating" with Champagne (or whatever that was). lol
Yeah, "not celebrating." What a group of douche nozzles that turned out to be.
I think the Hewitt thing was more due to him being a source inside the locker room for STL media. Without Hewitt "leaking" things to Bernie and J.T., they could focus on keeping everything in house. You could tell by how 'outraged' some of the STL writers were over that firing, that he had many friends in the media. Meanwhile, throughout the league during that time of the lockout and subsequent mass payroll trimmings, TONS of employees were getting canned. From every spot on the totem pole. Nobody said BOO about the liaison to foreign relations (or whatever that job was) getting fired. She didn't have any friends in the media.
