Friday Firings: Jamie Moyer, Redskins Selling McNabb Gear

Every Friday the HR Department fires two or more things from around sports that range from silly to outrageous. Here's what we came up with this week:

Fire a Jamie Moyer Comeback: Former Phillies P Jamie Moyer is attempting to rehab his arm following Tommy John surgery at the Phillies' facility in Florida. At this time, the team is allowing Moyer use of its facilities and staff, but is not expecting to sign him. Moyer went 9-9 with a 4.84 ERA in 2010 before the surgery, which is damn impressive at age 48. But he's just too old for the majors and nobody should take him seriously at this point. If nobody really wants a guy like Pedro Martinez, who is 39, why mess with Moyer?

Fire the Redskins Selling McNabb Souvenirs: It seems there is nothing the Redskins (and owner Dan Snyder) won't do to make a buck. The team is selling jerseys of ex-QB Donovan McNabb for $9.95 and is using McNabb souvenir soda cups at concession stands, which are available for $6. The team and its fans don't want to see McNabb anymore, and the Redskins should just donate this leftover merchandise to charity.
