Zack Bolno "abruptly" leaves

I doubt that the band is really PR related but who knows.

Yeah, I thought the band was run by the fans(band members) and just dealt with PR.

I'm not sure what led to his firing but by all accounts he is one of the best PR people in the biz judging from how many shoutouts he got on Twitter after being fired. I'd be wrong if I said people didn't enjoy working with him. From my limited understanding it sounds like PR people don't last very long with one company, although I don't understand what led to his firing. Just look at this (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2010/08/goodbye_to_zack_bolno_for_now.html#more) post Steinberg put up about how many tweets he got. By all accounts everybody liked him and says he's one of the best PR guys out there.

During the Haynesworth "interview" last night, a PR guy had to step in and shut down the interview. Maybe it was Zack Bolno.......

Wow, that is pretty cold to fire the guy just for shutting down a dicey interview. Maybe some nasty words were exchanged between AH and the PR guy or the PR guy and the press.

I talked to one of the sax players before the Bills preseason game. Let him have a couple beers with us in the parking lot. He told me that they have tryouts and stuff (so yeah, it'd be fans of the team), but that Larry Michael was in charge of the band and most of the media stuff around the stadium.

I doubt that was all. It might be as simple as Shanny/Allen wanting to bring in their own PR guy. Maybe last night did have something to do with it but I doubt it was a knee-jerk reaction.

Thanks for the info Insane. I knew the band is a fan outfit, but didn't know who or what ran it.

LOL is Larry Michael really in charge of the band?!! As friendly as Larry seems on tv/radio, I wonder what he's like when the cameras and microphones aren't around. He just seems like a shill and the kind of guy who would do anything to keep his job (hey, it's a great job!).

As for Zack Bolno, I've never heard of him, but I feel bad for him. Danny Snyder treats his employees like he's the head of Omni Consumer Products.

Why would you fire a guy on a Sunday after a preseason game, and one of the best PR guys around? These guys need to be a bit more savvy and do things in a way that doesn't generate media or fan questioning. Only leads to speculation and drama. You want to fire a guy, you usually do it Monday morning or Friday after work. I bet words were exchanged last night.
