9-News: 39.070 – Morrsion Put on Administrative Leave

YS9 Assistant GM Struggles Continue


A year after the Sinclaire’s Éclairs scandal that rocked the Yellow Springs front office, the Nine again find itself on precarious footing with a team executive. Assistant GM Fred Morrison was reported to be placed on administrative leave today when the team’s employees found themselves locked out of their offices.

“He changed the locks without telling anyone,” said Mae France, one of the team’s junior accountants. “It was quite a shock, everyone just standing outside in the parking lot as the sun came up. Very traumatic. But everyone got through it by banding together and going for coffee.”

Morrison’s behavior has been erratic for the past few months. His role seemed to be focused on acting as the team spokesman for most of the year, but with each passing event, it seemed like he was taking more responsibility—often to the point of insinuating that he was making several high-level decisions, and eventually coming to public words with GM Ron Collins, and [/url=viewtopic.php?f=44&t=29607&p=168700#p168700]confusing reports[/url] from the front office that often conflicted themselves.

It’s behavior that has nonplussed several sportscasters and fans, as well as kept local fans entertained. “He’s a grade-A narcissist,” said Professor Simon Levar, who teaches psychiatry at nearby Antioch college. “Even an idiot can see that. And Grade-A narcissists can be pretty funny if you don’t have to actually rely on them.”

No word has come from Morrison, though neighbors say he’s not been in his downtown condo since news of the action against him. One fan said he saw the beleaguered executive on the night of the lock-swapping, wearing a trench coat and standing in a dark alley while he made a phone call, whispering something that sounded like “Calling Louisville, calling Louisville, come in asshole. Calling Louisville.” The report also suggested that Morrison’s eyes were “dilated and pumping kaleidoscope colors of yellow and green, if you get my drift.”

To date, the team remains silent about whether Morrison will continue to be with the team in the future. His $90K contract expires at the end of the year. If he's not reatined, it would be the second year in a row that a Nine assistant left in some form of disgrace, as last year's bozo was indicted and later found guilty of embezzlement, money laundering, and tax fraud prior to skipping town.

I don't think Morrison should be worrying about being retained by Yellow Springs, but rather being detained by Ohio State Police.

Ugly situation in the midst of a fantastic season but I know the Nine will get through it.
