Is Georges Laraque telling Porkies?

[snag]

Everybody lies.

You're lying...cause I never lie

 

[snag]

Whenever I see Edmonton in the broadcasts from their feed it looks like a nice city yet gets **** on all the time. since you seem to live there care to explain why?

And yes Hall doing well now is all that matters

1) It is the northernmost major city in North America
2) We have sucked for far too long

 

[New Jersey]

I have a question....years ago, before Hall was a Devil and this would have all taken place, (a)if this came out before the trade would a Devil's fan even give a **** or even have a shred of doubt or jump to Hall's defense and (b)had the trade not happened, would they still?

My answers:
(a) absolutely not
(b) absolutely not

Homerism is a mysterious force

oh yes, the revisionist history is delicious on this one.

There are plenty of topics on the main boards that involve fans giving their opinion who have no "dog in the fight".

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Just climbing behind a mike does not make you a journalist. Some people don't seem to get this.

Reporting information to the public is journalism, and should abide by the same rules of ethics. He does not get to hide behind a label because he's an entertainer.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

What an awful thing for him to lie about with Hall.

Wait... people care even more about stories around players in their organization or who used to play for their team? What a breakthrough in human psychology. You're halfway to a PhD

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Laraque is simply looking for attention, for relevance.

 

[snag]

Case in point

 

[Incognito]

At least he admitted he was wrong. More than you can say for most.

While I do agree, I also assume (because IANAL) that apologizing was probably a wise choice to make from a legal standpoint.

Yep... We would have discussed it then and there, but that's not allowed on HFboards.
Still not sure why Laraque is bringing up 2-3 year old news though.

 

[VainGretzky]

I am surprised many more former Oilers did not have to go thru rehab after the Dallas Eakins swarm

you are 100,000% trolling.

There is no rehabilitating from that....as Ralph Klein would say, "shoot, shovel, shut-up"

 

[StevenF1919]

Laraque is a piece of shit. Even if this crap was true it's not his story to tell.

What's the point of that? That Ribeiro thread literally means nothing because it has a news report attached to it.
This info we knew never made it to public knowledge.

 

[Apathetic]

Interesting that he only retracted the portion about Hall going to rehab

 

[Osprey]

It's ironic that the OP is guilty of the same sort of defamation that he's attacking Laraque for. He's just as mistaken about what the meaning of "liar" is as Laraque was about his information on Hall. At least Laraque owned up to his mistake and apologized for it. Will the OP?

 

[Spirit of 67]

So you're saying it's wrong to level accusations at people without knowing all the facts?

 

[DearDiary]

User-"Love you Georgie but you can’t do it like that, it can ruin someone’s reputation forever."
George-"Well its not true so it won’t"

**** off with that, he has no remorse at all. He ruined Hall's reputation the moment he spread his propaganda. Just sit down and shut your mouth

 

[Coffey]

hahaha Yea... That's the only part he's taking back.

you are now 1,000,000% trolling. impressive.

you claim you would have talked about it at the time if there were news reports to back it up, but you signed up like six months ago...

unless you have a new account after getting banned for spewing similar nonsense.

 

[Midnight Judges]

I always lie.

This sentence that I am typing right now is a lie.

So if Laraque isn’t a journalist with devotion to the truth, does that just make him a scumbag for deciding to go public with his Hall rehab story?
