Cancel Culture: NBC Sports suspends Jeremy Roenick

[ByeShea]

Write/text/tweet/email the pussies at NBC for canning a guy for being a fukking awesome story teller. Stated cause was for talking sexually about co-workers: https://www.tmz.com/2019/12/23/jerem...athryn-tappen/

I listened to the podcast- it was great and he was nothing but complimentary.

didn't Mr. Roenick tell another story, not too long ago in November, about he and Jordan playing golf and drinking beers all day long before Jordan had to play a game with the Bulls that night. Good story, I believe it to be true, but kinda cringe-worthy of him to air that out in front of the media. Guy probably cannot filter himself.

NHL great and avid golfer Jeremy Roenick recently told an epic story on the McNeil & Parkins Show — a Chicago sports-talk radio program — about playing golf with Jordan during the ’92 NBA season. Roenick said a 36-hole day paired with a bunch of beers were nothing to keep MJ from dominating that evening.

“‘Meet me at Sunset Ridge, early. We’re gonna go play 18 holes,'” Roenick recalled Jordan saying. “We played a round, I beat him for a couple thousand and got ready to leave … Now, the Bulls are playing that night. They played Cleveland that night. I’m thinking he’s leaving, it’s 10 o’clock. He goes, ‘No, let’s go play again.’

“So we go and fill up a bag full of ice and Coors Light and walk again. We roll around another 18 and I take him for another couple [thousand dollars]. Now we’ve been drinking all afternoon and he’s going from Sunset Ridge to the stadium, to play a game. I’m messing around. I’m like, “I’m gonna call my bookie. All the money you just lost to me, I’m putting on Cleveland.’

“He goes, ‘I’ll tell you what. I’ll bet you that we’ll win by 20 points and I have more than 40 [points].’ I’m like, ‘Done.’ Son of a gun goes out and scores 52 and they win by 26 points or something.”
