Jeremy Roenick out at NBC after joking about wanting to have sex with his co-host

Hman · 02-12-20, 08:41 PM

You can't say anything these days

stevek173 · 02-12-20, 08:43 PM

Oh no!

Love him always for his NHL and Flyers contributions, but

krk1030 · 02-12-20, 08:44 PM

Nobody is safe.

RudyRuetigger · 02-12-20, 08:45 PM

If it was a guy, he would be commended

Pathetic

Eddy Munny · 02-12-20, 08:46 PM

If his co-host was a dude Roenick would probably be labeled a "hero" and get the cover of People magazine.

Roenick, who was suspended indefinitely without pay over a month ago for making inappropriate comments about his co-workers on Barstool Sports’ Spittin’ Chiclets podcast

While appearing on the popular hockey podcast that went live on Dec. 19, Roenick recounted a trip he took to Portugal last summer with his wife and co-worker Kathryn Tappen. However, the story took a tasteless turn.
“I was the king of Portugal,” Roenick said. “When you walk into every place and you have two blond bombshells on each side … your chest pops out a lot more.”
Then he recalled when a woman approached him to ask if his wife and Tappen were both with him, to which Roenick replied, “Yes, they are.”
“And then Kathryn says, ‘Will you shut up?’ She starts yelling at me,” he continued. “I play it off like, you know, we’re going to bed together every night, the three of us. Now, if it really came to fruition, that would really be good, but it’s never going to happen.”

Later in the podcast, Roenick turned the conversation toward Patrick Sharp, a fellow hockey analyst on NBC. The conversation moved over to whether Roenick, who was teammates with Sharp during their time on the Flyers, would sleep with Sharp.
”He is so beautiful. I’d have to think about it if he asked me,” Roenick said.
“Oh God, yeah,” one host said.
“I wouldn’t say no right away,” Roenick replied.

Roenick did say positive things about both Sharp and Tappen during his time on the show, complimenting their professionalism and stating how much he enjoys working with them. But NBC announced his suspension five days later.
Tappen released a statement through an NBC spokesperson shortly after Roenick’s suspension.
“While Jeremy and I continue to be good friends, what he said was unacceptable,” she said. “Especially among workplace colleagues. I do not condone his comments.”
Roenick joined NBC Sports in 2010 as a studio analyst, appearing on NBC Sports Group’s NHL coverage on NHL Live and NHL Overtime, NBCSN’s pregame and postgame shows. He also served as a men’s and women’s Olympic hockey studio analyst at the last three Winter Olympics.

Thats so fukking weak

Bitch should be lucky anyone wants to
Plow her musty garden

stevek173 · 02-12-20, 09:05 PM

Yeah that's terrible. I mean like he meant he wanted to sleep with Sharp, right?

Not. Just a funny guy being goofy.

Very weak letting him go for this, but I guess she went full on freak show about it and with the me too movement and all that networks have to cover their asses.

Art Vandelay · 02-12-20, 09:06 PM

Bad picture of her, she's decent. Quality enough for a 3-some! That happened back in December, was just a suspension originally. Took them a while to finally shitcan him. Hey, he was just being honest! Howard Stern-like!

The only people who would label him a hero for that are men who have sex with other men. The only people who think People magazine would give him a cover for that are men who have sex with other men.

You're not the brightest bulb in the knife drawer, are you...

His whole interview on that podcast was great. If you like hockey and don’t listen to Spittin chiclets you are missing out.

Exactly! Just Jeremy being Jeremy. Apparently too much for the masses to handle...

JIBBBY · 02-12-20, 09:53 PM

Gotta hold your tongue. Can't be blurting that stuff out especially when you're a celeb figure.. He should have known better.. There are several chicks I would like to bang but I wouldn't voice it on air. Jokingly or not.

Lock em up!!

Mike Huntertz · 02-12-20, 10:01 PM

Just have computers with an algorithm do the talking.....so stupid.
Social media sucks.....sort of, heheheh

jjgold · 02-12-20, 10:01 PM

Good move

No brainer to get fired

trytrytry · 02-12-20, 11:09 PM

think I have 100 of his upper deck rookie cards for some reason....

clockwise1965 · 02-12-20, 11:27 PM

Jerome had good perspective and insight on the NHL.

You just can comment in any form or fashion on a co worker anymore.

packerd_00 · 02-13-20, 12:57 AM

She ain't worth losing your job over. Damn I liked Roenick,a Hawk legend.

Would hate to be this woman's enemy if that is how she treats her good friends.

When you have jobs like that you can’t say stupid stuff

Harry N. Lloyd · 02-13-20, 10:26 AM

I'm a big fan of both Roenick and Kathryn Tappen. She had a choice, but unfortunately for JR she chose those terrorists in the #MeToo movement. She could've laughed it off and saved her friend's arse.

if he is her friend she should have taken it in stride. she is with him and his wife in portugal as a third wheel. what is so bad about what he said? he finds her attractive and made a joke about her as a friend.
