I don't think you know how censorship works. Are people not forgetting what things used to be like? There are so many different platforms for people to now say exactly what they feel. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-23 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 When I saw JR trending, I thought it was the Henny God but it’s just Jeremy Roenick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Green Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 JR's filter has been broken since the 90's , how is it some people are just noticing now ? :-D I'll give him credit for at least trying to be funny and wish everyone a Merry Christmas / happy holidays including Jeremy.

This isn't about snowflakes or cancel culture, it's about human decency, professionalism, and respecting your colleagues. Psst. Some people don't get it. And like to blame cancel culture for everything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 People need to lighten up, especially when concerning a guy nobody in their right mind can take seriously. Everything that comes out his mouth was born close to his ass, it's his schtick. But let's just get offended for somebody else. If everyone could just stop looking for things to be offended about, society as a whole would be less offensive. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 And I apologize for not having feelings. Too many cry-boys out there stealing my hurt these days. If I could cry, I'd probably still just spit out my window. Merry Christmas. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other history does he have Ya these comments and thinking is what makes our culture toxic. Don't put all Republicans in a box. They are 50m+ Republicans and lots have university degrees, businesses ect.. Democrats have a lot of good ideas and smart people but also a lot of crazies in the party by my thinking. Still we need to be smart enough to listen and explain our thinking. Especially in Canada we should let other counties deal with their issues as they seem fit. We should hold ourselves to a higher standard of respect and patience then culture will change for the better. For Jeremy. Hell of a player. Always a big mouth and you can't talk about women like they are a piece of meat show some respect. Especially at his age, being married ect.. He should know better. This is after me to.Don cherry, ect... Like really no excuse to say that in a podcast. now if he is drinking with his buds or talking in the locker room or gym then whatever fair play imo. strange but go at it but can't say that for the world to hear and watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to tell others that they are against every kind of evil and then some while normal people hate evil but don't yell it. Like saw this week a lady claiming math is racist. Absolute madness. Her argument is was extremely poor and her definition of racist was different then mine. In fact she said racism definition changes. Because it changes to fit your argument. Just bizarre times but the internet always makes things seem worst then they are 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he talked about it, I guess it wasn't super offensive, but it was just so awkward. I agree with this. It’s not over the top or crossing the line or anything, it’s just like, why? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure_Pavel Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Hopefully we start seeing more funny sports podcasts, as sports and comedy go together so well. This world is losing its sense of humor pretty quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Awkward thing to say, but given the time he if from it's not all that surprising. From my understanding all 3 people are good friends so I am guessing this is just NBC trying to send a message about professionalism. Nothing will come of this.

Lancaster Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 So, pretty much locker room banter that went on the air. I can't tell if marijuana has been legalized yet.... there are too many people too uptight that definitely need to chill out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 Bit of an update: https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1913224 NHL on NBC host Kathryn Tappen released a statement Tuesday condemning the recent comments made by co-worker Jeremy Roenick that led to his indefinite suspension from the network. "While Jeremy and I continue to be good friends, what he said was unacceptable, especially among workplace colleagues. I do not condone his comments," Tappen said, according to John Ourand of the Sports Business Journal. Roenick was suspended Monday without pay for inappropriate comments he made during his appearance on the "Spittin' Chiclets" podcast. The former NHLer brought up a trip to Portugal in which he, his wife, and Tappen traveled together, and he made multiple references to the three of them having sex. "I play it off like we're going to bed together every night, the three of us," Roenick said. "If it really came to fruition, that would be really good, but it's never going to happen." Roenick, who's been with NBC since 2010, later said Tappen is "one of the most professional sports personalities I know." He hasn't commented on the matter since his suspension. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publicly talking about having sex with your co-workers has never been acceptable. Under normal circumstances yes... But he was on spittin' chicklets. That was vanilla compared to other interviews. Where he went wrong was choosing to go on the show in the first place. That was a major oversight on his part. Unlike most of the guests JR has a higher public profile to uphold. He's to Don Cherry like for NBC... They were probably looking for an excuse to get rid of him. JR gave it to them. He's probably gone permanently from the network. Times are a changing... On a better note... Merry Christmas to all of you! Stay safe through the crazy, wonderful holiday. Be with the people you love most (my mom just passed on the 13th) so make it count! Looking forward to bantering with all of you in the new year. Edited December 24, 2019 by Hogs & Podz 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 NOT condoning this ignorant type of behaviour,. But didn’t a president once say “ if you grab em by the p$$$y, they’ll do what ever you want” ? ...this is what’s wrong in the U.S. .. s#!# flows down hill,. If you don’t fix the problem at the source, it’s ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
