Gregg Doyel suspended

Maybe not everything has to be a fuckin joke.

 

Not sure where I fall on Doyel, but Dan Dakich can go fuck himself and keep doing so for eternity. An absolute piece of shit.

 

I think there was also a question he had to the coach which hit a slightly on the cringe scale. Also immediately after the press conference, when people were probably going "WTF" to him, he immediately went into column promoting mode, which didn't help.
It was almost, "do you really understand what you did here?" and he didn't get it.

 

Well, there's that. There's also you don't have to get your panties in a bunch at the drop of a hat. Other side of the same coin.

 

Could be - but if he's going to be this creepy and unethical, and do it in an introductory press conference with one of the biggest names in all of sports right now and tons of people watching and in attendance, then they needed to fire him immediately. That's "if he does this in public with everybody watching, what does he do in private when no one's watching?" stuff.

 

Don't make me defend Gregg Doyel, who makes my skin crawl. But that's inherently unfair.

You judge the person on the actions he's taking at the present. You don't extrapolate scenarios based on what you think he might be doing when you aren't watching.

 

I was answering Flip's scenario, where he was saying if Clark kowtowed to Doyle's wants, she and her team would receive more and more positive coverage from him.

If you believe that's true, and he'd be so bold that he'd do it when *everyone* is watching, then I think an employer should definitely be concerned with what may happen in other times.

 

BWIP, I understand exactly what you're saying. You said he should be fired immediately, and that it's OK for it to be based on imagined happenings. If he should be fired just for the moment he gave Clark the "heart," that's one thing. What you're saying is another.

 

No, not fired immediately based on what *could* happen.

If what Flip surmised is what his actual motivations are, then yes, fire him for that immediately.

 

I mean this courteously, I don't give enough of a fuck to argue about it. If Clark was offended then that is her right to be. He seems contrite. I think I can take the silly English judge wig off.

 

Do they cover Notre Dame as well, or do they cede that to Chicago media and NBC?
