BFN: Michael Richards Says He Had Pneumonia During First Round of Playoffs

Wow.

Chuck Gormley is killing it today. First he lands an exclusive interview with One Eight, who is sunning in Cabo, and now he reports that Richards told him he had pneumonia during the first round of the playoffs. That would certainly explain a lot. It would also put the ball firmly in the collective court of Tim Panaccio and Sam Donnellon, who all but blamed Richards for the Flyers' collapse.

You should probably follow Gormley on Twitter (@chuckspuckcom), especially considering he has a direct line into El Capitan's cell phone. Something tells me Panotch isn't getting that text.
