Wilson = trash

Oshie = recycling/trash

Don't make me cheer for the fucking Bruins against you, fucking Crapitals.

Jeremy Roenick suspended by NBC Sports for inappropriate comments about co-workers

Still trying to wonder what he said that was inappropriate that wasn't kidding around on the interview?

Here's the thing I guess... Jeremy, his wife and Ms. Tappen may indeed have the kind of friendly relationship where this type of joke is no big deal at all to her. But it's still not the type of joke he should be making on a podcast while representing NBC.

I can think of jokes that I've made about friends that they didn't mind at all and I still probably would have been fired for if I'd said them in the context that Jeremy did (and I don't even have an on-air job where image matters like he does). I think we all can.

Nobody got suspended when Jim Nance and Tony Romo mused about doing the Golden Gate Bridge with Michele Tafoya.

But seriously, its not a great thing to say and what if Tappen was not amused?

^^ Yeah @Comeds, @Bloody Brian Burke he was on a talk show that does this type of stuff and he played along. Roenick isn't the brightest bulb. The joke was wrong and I see why he should be suspended after reading it again.

I really should have said "co-workers" rather than "friends" here but I think you get what I'm saying

I actually suspect that I could make a few calls to friends who still live in Stamford and hear a second hand story or two with worse drunken comments from the guy. Feels like this was bound to happen eventually.

I think the vast majority of us males have made off the cuff remarks that are pretty offside upon reflection in the new world. I worked in the investment world for a lot of years, and the workplace was pretty much a hunting ground. Could never get away with that now, and it must have been mighty tough for a woman who didn't want to play the game to navigate.
There was a guy I worked with who started each day asking a coworker if this was the day there were going to fuck. Partially in jest, but partially not. And just relentless. Of course, she ended up hooking up with a married dude with five young kids and breaking up that marriage, so maybe his radar was right after all.


Basically, if roenick objectifies her in a public forum like this, it can affect the perception of her professionalism, through no fault of her own. That's a shitty position to be put in.

My ex-wife was stuck in this trap. She'd always talk about getting ignored/fucked over and we both knew the main reason why (especially when she was working on the sell side). I felt so bad for her, still do. She worked so hard and all she wanted to do was her job.

Do you guys remember back at the swamp when things were totally out of control and we moved temporarily to the Thrashers board?!?

Atlanta deserves a third team right?




Just this time please don't make your logo a coffee cup.

Almost the time of year when posters I've never seen show up to complain that the NHL should play Christmas games.
