He's not a hockey guy. He's a news guy. Even after years of covering the Hawks beat, he still has no clue about the game.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

master at farming engagement on social media maybe idk

 

[JaegerDice]

The logo thing is so silly. If the Sauks as a whole said its offensive, change it please. Im on board. Haven't seen that.

The issue is there’s nothing about the logo that makes it obvious which tribe it’s representing. It’s just a generic native american face/caricature. So it’s not only the one tribe affected or whose feelings need to be considered.

In any case, it will get changed eventually. Not a matter of if but when. Having the discussion now of all times does seem silly tho.

Man is he a dumb f***. I may hate him more than I've ever hated any other Hawks reporter. Or any Chicago sports reporter, in general. He's such a gigantic douchebag.

Jay Mariotti probably still biggest douchebag sports reporter this city has seen ever

ESPN and others severed ties after he was accused of stalking/assaulting Ex-GF

He eventually plead no contest

Former ESPN personality Jay Mariotti pleads no contest in stalking case

Former Chicago Sun-Times columnist was sentenced to five years of probation, 90 days of community service

www.cbsnews.com

(CBS/AP) LOS ANGELES - Jay Mariotti, a former ESPN sports personality, has pleaded no contest in Los Angeles to charges that he stalked and assaulted his ex-girlfriend.

Deputy District Attorney Simone Shay says Mariotti entered open pleas Tuesday on three felony charges, which included stalking and two misdemeanors.

The former Chicago Sun-Times columnist was immediately sentenced to five years of probation and 90 days of community service.

Shay says an open plea means prosecutors did not offer Mariotti a plea deal.

He eventually found his way back to ESPN but they quickly pointed out it was for "Freelance work" thru another company. A BS way of ESPN hiring him without "Hiring Him"

Then he was hired by a major newspaper despite his arrest/plea

Spent about a year as sports columnist/director with San Fransisco Examiner before they ended up parting ways with him.

Jay Mariotti's time at the San Francisco Examiner has come to an end

Heads were turned when embattled and polarizing columnist Jay Mariotti was hired last March by the San Francisco Examiner to be their sports director. At the time, the Examiner said they were “thrilled” to bring in “one of the best sports writers in the nation.” A little over a year later, the...

Much to delight of some of his co-workers (As was case in Chicago)

Last I saw he was popping up occasionally on other ESPN talking head sports podcasts every now and then.

I mean the Blackhawks are clearly representing their namesake. They aren’t representing a generic name. They aren’t the Chicago Native Americans.

You know native Americans are active living people not some historical group. And while so are the Irish, but who are the main creators and audience of those teams, people of Irish heritage. Thats not the case with Native American symbol teams.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

do we rename cities and street names next? if anything its honoring these groups minus one particular team that did change the name but in general there is no ill intent with these teams, world will have far bigger problems than sports team names in next 5-10 years, that seems for sure

 

[Behn Wilson]

That's fair. I forgot about that dumbass(Julie DiCaro) Maybe because she's so disliked she's faded out of the scene as quickly as she came into it. She really has zero relevance in Chicago sports anymore. And it all started with her immediate conviction of Kane when he was innocent. Such a dumbass.



I might have missed that... lol. What happened?

The hate on her is legendary and continues, she has more posts on The Chicago Fanatics Message board covering all Chicago teams and local hosts than almost any topic and she has been off the air for years. It is almost 1,500 pages to date. It is comical the level people go to follow her legendary ineptitude

Well-deserved, legendary hate. I'm gonna have a field day reading through that thread.

The two names on Kyle Davidsons hand last night before the draft.

Newborn daughter and the child him and his wife lost in 2021.

I visit it all the time for a laugh. You will have a blast reading these

 

[HeisenBaez]

Be honestly, how many have read this thread? How many times have you seen the video?

10 on both for me.

 

[Cubs2024wildcard]

Laz is a piece of garbage. Everyone knew he would take this moment and make it all about him and not Bedard. It's what he does.

He retweets popular tweets so his page looks bigger then it is, alot of his followers are bots(Twitter just made it easier to identify bots and AI followers), and if you don't agree with his agendas he blocks you. Powers is the same thing but Powers won't say anything that could compromise his press credentals.

Laz also bragged about his checkmark. Now that he don't have one he don't bring up how only important people have checkmarks.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Just win this thing Hawks. And make HF melt down and feel how I did when the Pens got Crosby after Mario.

Mission accomplished.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

I love all of you guys tonight!

I love you too!!

 

[clydesdale line]

Blackhawks site just posted this.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

What a great night. Love you beautiful bastards.

I love you too.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

the casual chicago fan knew way more about this kid and what the tank meant than i initially realized, especially given how little coverage hockey prospects get relative to other leagues

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

What a douche acting like he doesn't know the draft is already done before the reveal

Do we have any Walsh clients we have to deal with?

People using this as a conspiracy is so dumb.

Because they effed up on the TV broadcast, that means the draft was rigged? Makes no sense.
