The Dave Tippett’s dick in the snapping turtle’s mouth story was f***ing hilarious.

This sounds like something Babcock would do while thinking a team with f***ing Kronwall on it was above it.

The one from like 2 years ago? I remember Hall saying he thought Phil Kessel was an unreal hockey player, which is kind of funny in hindsight.

Re-listened. Very safe. Very PC. One thing that stood out was how much he seemed to like living in a big market, that wasn’t necessarily a hockey market. He seemed to relish the anonymity. Which surprised me.

Loved the Roenick interview, especially his admission that he once played drunk and still finished with 1 goal and 1 assist.

Will not be good for the future of interviews on this podcast. The stuff Roenick said about Tappen really and truly grossed me out. Having said that, he seemed to have said all of that stuff to her already, and in the presence of his own wife, and their friendship seems to still be strong.
I personally think it’s gross to talk to your friends about wanting to f*** them. I also think it’s gross to talk to your wife about wanting to f*** your friends. I also think it’s gross to be friends with someone that tells you and their wife that they want to f*** you. However, I don’t want to tell anyone that they CANT do any of the above. Even if it offends me. It’s not my business.
That said, Tappen isn’t just a friend. She’s a coworker. That changes things a little, I think. At least from NBC’s perspective. If he was talking about some random woman he and his wife know, rather than about a women he works with, NBC wouldn’t care. If he had actually slept with Tappen but didn’t share it publicly on a podcast, NBC wouldn’t care.

I always try and live by the rule: "if I wouldn't say it to my mother, then don't say it."
For JR, he should have known that he can't say something on a podcast that he wouldn't say on TV. Seriously. Just because it's a podcast doesn't mean the standards of conduct are suspended.

Haven't listened to the podcast, only read an ESPN article describing what he said.
The stuff with Tappen would be bad if she wasn't aware of it. She's a friend so I'm guessing she's not offended.
The stuff about Sharp and Carter sounded like typical locker room talk. Nothing bad, I'm sure they've heard it already.
I think NBC also did themselves a disservice by suspending him. The only people who would have known about this are Spittin Chiclets fans who are for the most part are accustomed to this kind of language. Now by suspending him evvvverybody knows. Even heard about it on the radio today.

Disagree. She may not be offended, but what he said is offensive. It's not so much about defending her honor, but maintaining a standard of conduct among your employees.

JR is persona non grata at a country club in the valley and also one that I know of in Florida.
You can't make sexual comments about fellow employees at any business. It doesn't matter if your joking or if the other employees are cool with it. Easy decision for the network, and the correct decision, its black and white now days.
I like JR, have met him, and I don't think he had bad intent, but intent doesn't matter with employment law.

What's amazing to me, and this doesn't just apply to JR, is how often people who should be media savvy step in it. Was he drunk? How is it he thought his comments would be ok? Maybe he doesn't understand that a podcast is essentially a radio interview.

I agree...doesn't make him smart, but JR has probably been in from of a microphone for tens of thousands of minutes in his lifetime. You could train a dog to bark (or not bark) every time a microphone was placed in front of them. Are you saying JR is less trainable than my Cocker Spaniel?
