Like that blood-splattered car Jules and Vincent in “Pulp Fiction,” the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Redskins are each a horrific, gut-churning mess that the folks in charge can’t begin to figure out how to clean up.
Both are in trouble, to various degrees, and need help. So they have each called in their own versions of Mr. Wolf to start cleaning up.
Last week, quietly, on the day before the July 4th holiday, the Orioles announced they hired a chief operating officer for business operations — former Miami Heat executive John Vidalin.
Six weeks earlier, the Redskins announced they hired NFL executive Brian LaFemina as their president of business operations and chief operating officer.
