Mike Commodore - " Mike Babcock doesnt have the respect of his players" Amazing Interview with Link

[Mr Hockey]

I didn't find it funny and I won't be seeking any sort of "help" for that.

lol ... just a beauty

 

[Frank Drebin]

if you're seeking attention like Commodore is...absolutely

I suppose you're right. For those that want attention it really doesn't matter how you get it.

Commodore had a forgettable career, 7 years after his career ended he's still being talked about

 

[gwh]

Babcock chirped a TSN reporter for not having shiny shoes. He is an arrogant POS.

In the winter? Some regular people actually have to walk outside in the snow...

 

[acor]

Babcock may not be saint nor greatest coach ever, but this guy clearly needs help...

 

[Iapyi]

You can assume something because common sense suggests it.

Why would a player play all the way to 1499 games without intending to reach 1500?

More then likely but I'm not going to assume it. Anyone else who wants to can, of course, but I'm not going to.

 

[Yackiberg8]

It's not really funny though.

If it's a schtick, it's stale. Imagine telling the same joke for 7 years....

Most people have only recently heard the schtick on Spittin Chiclets where Commodore is the #1 guest on the #1 hockey podcast mostly due to ripping Babcock. The hosts their try to pry Babcock stories out of him because they know that’s what people are looking for.

I think people who understand what he’s doing and who aren’t super uptight can see the humour in it without claiming he needs to get help. The schtick plays off his personality perfectly.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

It's good of you to be offended by it for Masters. I'm sure he appreciates it.

See now this is funny.

 

[Yackiberg8]

See now this is funny.

You don’t have to take everything too serious buddy.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Destroyed with LOGIC and FACTS.

 

[ACC1224]

You don’t have to take everything too serious buddy.

Not sure why you would assume I do.

Do you assume everything is a joke?

 

[Pilky01]

It's good of you to be offended by it for Masters. I'm sure he appreciates it.

I don't really care what Masters says/thinks. As if he is going to start calling out the $6+ million dollar Leafs head coach regardless of his true feelings anyway. If he likes his job he will play along and pretend its all in good fun....just like Barry Davis did when the Blue Jays players were assaulting him while he was just trying to do his job.

Babcock seems like an arrogant POS and behavior like that reinforces that belief.

So you dont care if the person that recieved it thought it was funny or was insulted by it. Makes sense. You do you rage at the world there big guy.

 

[mpir3]

I saw Auston Matthews at the pool this past Sunday (His knee was bandaged up)...I drunkenly yelled out Babcock sucks as he walked past our table and was able to get a slight smirk. So this must be confirmed.

 

[Yackiberg8]

Not sure why you would assume I do.

Do you assume everything is a joke?

I don’t assume so no but I am bright enough to tell what Commodore is doing here.

 

[yababy]

after Babcock gets fired from Toronto ask Marner what he thinks of him. I bet he's on Commodores side

 

[Pilky01]

So you dont care if the person that recieved it thought it was funny or was insulted by it. Makes sense. You do you rage at the world there big guy.

The person on the receiving end will get fired if they criticize the person mocking them.

I get that you don't appreciate the power imbalance in these kind of interactions, but that isn't an excuse to remain ignorant.

 

[ACC1224]

You seem to be on your own Island there.

 

[ACC1224]

He's not very well liked in Toronto.
I wouldn't expect any of them to dedicate their lives to getting that message out though.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

It is actually hilarious that this got you so worked up still months later. I guarentee you Masters was over it...well he probably didnt have to get over it because anyone that understands social cues can blatantly see that it was friendly. Anyways you keep up that good fight for the poor repressed Mark Masters. I'm praying for his job this minute.

 

[Hivemind]

Wasn't it reported that Filpulla refused to re-sign with the Red Wings because of Babcock? And then he later refused to waive his (limited) No Trade Clause to be dealt to Toronto, and ended up being dealt to Philadelphia instead? Commodore is far from the only player to have issues with Babs.

You keep sticking up for Babcock. I bet he appreciates the hard work you do on behalf of his name.

I will continue to have an opinion of the man based on his behavior.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Again, I would love to see some kind of evidence of that.

Average TSN Salary | PayScale

That's not evidence... there are probably less than 5 figures they are taking into account to form those numbers.

 

[Kamiccolo]

I saw Auston Matthews at the pool this past Sunday (His knee was bandaged up)...I drunkenly yelled out Babcock sucks as he walked past our table and was able to get a slight smirk. So this must be confirmed.

Sorry buddy I only accept this kind of speculation if it happens at an airport.

 

[Kamiccolo]

You keep sticking up for Babcock. I bet he appreciates the hard work you do on behalf of his name.

Seriously? Just so everyone is aware, this is what this guy is offended about.
