May 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (mr_genius @ May 3, 2013 -> 04:51 PM) i believe Balta said the videos were very offensive to him and he wrote a letter to CSN demanding her resignation. looks like he got his wish. Someone did something involving ice? what?
May 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 3, 2013 -> 03:42 PM) I read like two comments and went off. I re-read and saw most thought it odd, but didn't care to edit because passion. TWTW is strong in this one.
May 3, 201312 yr Okay, this isn't Chicago media but it is the funniest thing I've ever seen: Amazing Bob Ley Moment
May 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ May 3, 2013 -> 04:22 PM) Okay, this isn't Chicago media but it is the funniest thing I've ever seen: Amazing Bob Ley Moment LOLOLOLOL. Like I don't even get why he's reacting like that. Also, I just watched those YouTube videos from Collins. They're so bad. It sucks that she got fired for the slip, but she wasn't very good at her job and I'm somewhat happy she's gone.
May 4, 201312 yr So I assume the Hawks will be following up with the firing of Patrick Kane here soon?
May 4, 201312 yr Not to mention they have Bobby Hull as an ambassador... a little hypocritical if you ask me with all the stuff he has done in his life... then again superstars get a lot more leeway.
May 4, 201312 yr QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ May 3, 2013 -> 06:34 PM) LOLOLOLOL. Like I don't even get why he's reacting like that. I can't tell if that's a reaction or just a senior moment in progress. I don't know why a human being would ever be making that face or moving their head like that.
May 4, 201312 yr I actually liked Susannah Collins. I thought she had the right personality for her job. Down to earth, snarky, everything you'd want the "dream sports girl" to be. She's also really beautiful. She may not be Sarah Kustok, but she was the best thing at CSN since Kustok left for YES.
May 4, 201312 yr Article in the Trib said it was a letter from Rocky to CSN that asked for her to be removed from Hawks broadcasts. Not sure why CSN had to fire her then. Couldn't put her somewhere else?

May 6, 201312 yr You can not like Bernstein all you want, but he nailed it here: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2013/05/05/ber...ire-bobby-hull/
May 6, 201312 yr Briefly turned into ESPN 1000 today. My gosh, that show is unlistenable. Jurko is worse than Boers. At least Boers doesn't sidetrack from the discussion of which he adds little, but Jurko does not add anything to the discussion and always detracts from it. How soon til the morning show is changed? Feel bad for Carmen because he can and has proven to be a good radio host, but Jurko is gonna bring him down.

May 6, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 4, 2013 -> 03:52 PM) I'm still waiting for them to fire Bobby Hull and Patrick Kane for much worse... Why? Bobby Hull is only a horrible wife-beater, Collins took part in a comedy satire show fer godsakes.

Ultimately, I don't think Carmen will last because he has a fake persona that he puts out there. He seems like he has melded McNeil & mike north into his radio persona. He does mcneil's food and entertainment "takes" and has North's phony "Italian" thing going - right down to the wise guy accent that he uses from time to time.
May 7, 201312 yr Susannah Collins on her firing- As most of you know by now, I had a slip-up last week on the air while covering the Blackhawks playoff series. As a result of the attention it received, an old web-based sports comedy series I participated in several years ago came to light. The intention of that show was to present a satirical, tongue-in-cheek approach to sports but, unfortunately, some of the material it contained was off-color and offensive. I understand why some may have been offended by it and for this I am truly sorry. To be clear, that show in no way reflects my personal opinions. It has always been my dream to cover my hometown teams on the network I loved watching. I have worked tirelessly to develop my skills as a sports reporter, anchor and host, and I want to thank the city of Chicago for allowing me that opportunity. The outpouring of support I have received is overwhelming and it will remain in my heart, as will Chicago. Always. --Susannah
May 7, 201312 yr She's honestly one of the nicest girls out there. She was kind of a goody-goody back in the day with a mean jumper. The people who knew her were shocked at how she was being portrayed in the media.

May 7, 201312 yr The "I'm sorry that some may have been offended" non-apology is perfectly appropriate in this case.
