ANALYSIS/OPINION:
After firing Washington Wizards general manager Ernie Grunfeld Tuesday, owner Ted Leonsis managed a day later to issue a weak “apology” to fans for “not meeting their expectations.”
“I joked a little bit today … I said ‘50 wins not 50 losses,’” Transparent Ted said, referring to his goal for the team this season of 50 wins and the possibility instead for his team to lose 50 games. “It’s probably the biggest miss I’ve had in setting goals with what the actuality will be. I apologize, but I do think the fan base knows our sincerity.
