Good to see Toews on the ice tonight.
-
Well, the home opener is a minute in and they have not given up a goal yet, so that is an improvement.
-
Colliton has to go. This is brutal.

deHaan stinks. Just let's forwards stand in front of the goalie. Guy sucks.

I was offered two free tickets to tonight’s Hawks game. I said I was busy. I wasn’t.

They are much needed here. And yes, just about anything is better than time spent at a Hawks game.

It’s ok. I’d rather watch football on TV.

when I used to go to hawks games I'd buy the cheapest tickets they offered, then hang out at one of the corner bars on the 300 level, great times, even did it during a playoff game where we got our shit pushed in by the Blues... that sucked but mission accomplished in the drinky department

football on live TV with no DVR or whatever to skip all the commercials and down time is so fucking boring, not sure how you do it, you have far more patience than I do
but by watch football you probably mean redzone lol

Ooooooh, burn. I had two beers last week. Which was two more than I’d had the previous month. It’s a great meme, though. Rob is a good fiction writer.

No he’s not.
I’d say he was better than ThePAMan though. Not that that’s a high bar and definitely not something to be proud of.

I'd hear what Dan Bernstein has to say, but he is only on for, what, 2 hours a day? He is probably napping right now.

Turned AM1000 for 2 seconds to hear Silvy asking why no one called the police. Silvy may want to read the report. He will find out why based on what Hawks managment was initially told.

Hawks still stink. Poor Toews came back for this shit.

Apparently they are a dumpster fire on and off the ice. Gross.

The off ice stuff happened 11 years ago.
They completely screwed up by not immediately investigating claims of harassment by a coach towards a player. But it does not make sense that the 11th player taken in the draft is worried about making a team that everyone knew was going to have to shed players because Talon had put them in Cap Hell.

Wait, you’re losing your mind over old boob and penis jokes; yet dismissing the horrid Blackhawks scandal; which was just fully exposed a couple of days ago as “something that happened 11 years ago?” Am I understanding you correctly, here?
-
People like Stan Bowman, who enabled this behavior and did nothing about it was just allowed to resign; and then guys like Kane and Toews just last night called him a “good guy.”

Again, I was not "losing my mind" over anything Dan Bernstein said years ago; I was merely pointing out the cognitive dissonance between your views on Dan Bernstein and Mike Simgletary, et al.
Anyone paying attention knew what the claims were quite awhile ago when the suit was filed. What we did not know was what was the specific reaction by "upper management" to the harassment (as opposed to "assault", as it does not appear those claims were known at the time of the "meeting") claims.
I am not dismissing the scandal. The Hawks screwed up royal. People got hurt as a result (the intern the guy harassed and the high school kid).
The original misconduct occurred 11 years ago. Actually, under your Dan Bernstein fandom theory, the Hawks should be fine now because they, finally, investigated and acknowledged and apologized for their misconduct.
My point is that something does not make sense with the 11th pick in the draft, with a clear lane to being on the roster, being scared that a video coach can keep him off the roster or get him on the roster. That does not make the possibility of even a consensual relationship appropriate here and the Hawks should have taken action immediately. Just that the whole alleged "hook" of why this guy said he didn't say anything and went along does not make a lot of sense.

Covering up sexual assault = boob and penis jokes. Gotcha

Did you even read the report? I'm guessing not. What had happened between Beach and Aldrich, including the threesome with the chick, had already occurred. The incident with the Hawks intern had not.
Should he have dissented from McDonough and Q? Obviously. And obviously easier said than done, not that that makes it right.
Had a kid who played hockey with one of his kids for a season. Seen him once or twice at social events since then. He's a good guy.
-
Joe Paterno was a “good guy.”
-

Where in the report says they knew about the alleged sexual assault at the time they decided to do nothing during the playoffs? The guy resigned as the ininvestigation was starting. One issue is they did not investigate it despite the guy quitting.
-

Joe Paterno was aware of the assault allegations at the time.

I know Tempo has not read the report because he has seen what they say on The Twitter.
Half the stuff I've read, even in the papers, does not match the timeline in the report.

So the answer is "No", you didn't read the report and are relying on others, who may, or may not, be accurate in their reading and interpretation.of the same.

I plan on using it as an example of what not to do in upcoming sexual harassment training sessions I am conducting.

I'll listen to this and submit an opinion, but don't have the time right now.

The Blackhawks top brass all knew about the accusation, but waited a month, until the playoffs were over to do anything about it all. Then when they finally did, they just let the guy resign (rather than face investigation or legal authorities), participate in the rally, collect checks, tote the Stanley Cup around, and gave him a recommendation letter to a high school. Now the guy is a registered sex offender in Michigan…
But hey, it was 11 years ago!
What am I missing? Not enough Twitter references?
-
Oh, and the guy also got a ring, his name on the trophy, and invited to the banner ceremony. Clearly, after he resigned because of the issue.

What accusation where they made aware of at the time?
A. Sexual harassment: guy sending dick pics and tried to get in between the sheets in bed with him?
Or
B. Sexual assault: the guy dry humped him and shot on his back and gave him an unwanted blow.job.
Tell me Tempo. Which one, or both, were they made aware of at that meeting?
Even if it was only A, their delayed reaction was completely inappropriate. If it was B, none of them should have jobs ever again.
-
According to Zawaski, it was assault.
-
According to Zawaski, it was assault.
I obviously don't think the report supports B.
I don't think Q is writing this guy a reference if he knows about B. It is bad enough he wrote one knowing about A, but B?
-
Take a look at the report itself, and let me know what you think.

Like my dick, Bitch! 😂🤣
Sorry I could resist.

Twitter breaks big stories into little tempo sized bites which he then consumes from personalities who deliver the slant he’s looking for. Then he repeats it ad nauseum while doing the message board version of sticking his fingers in his ears and screaming lalalalalalala !

Someone just reminded me how we had a discussion a month back that I had noted that it was reported that Stan had sold his house (in the Tribune) and that I said I doubted he was going to survive this lawsuit. I was ATOC!
How did I get the acronym wrong? Terrible posting on my part.

Everyone involved is gone, yet Dan Bernstein still has his job and has done a 180 from his Count Fagula days. Who you crappin', Tempo?

Which one is going from "boobs" and Count Fagula to Social Justice Radio Warrior as things "change"?

If Bernstein can change, so can Bowman.
Don’t we all have good and bad qualities?

Sure, but I’d argue that being dismissive of sexual abuse allegations is quite a bit worse than engaging in now unacceptable sophomoric humor. YMMV

How was he dismissive? According to the report, which was not subject to cross-examination, McDonough, the President, said he would take care of it. McDonough didn't report it to HR until 5 days after the Stanley Cup clincher.
Bernstein is an opportunistic hypocrite. He's as big a scumbag as McDonough.
