I don't know if you guys saw this part but Tiny will be back Monday. So the lesson here is if you bleed ESPN even a DUI can't get you canned. Having said that, one more slip up and Harry is done....

Best part of that tidbit is that it says Harry apologized on air. I don't like the guy, and I don't listen to that show because of him. But it's nice to see him apologize, and if it changes his behavior, then I've got no further issue with this incident. If he doesn't learn from it, then fire away.....

A guy that continues to use his status as a Chicago Radio host to get blitzed all over the city and suburbs and than get in a car and drive himself home should be fired. I have seen Tiny hammered with my own eyes. He is using his job to support his lack of self esteem.

I'd say he would have done a fine job of over-indulging in all different parts of the city without his job, wouldn't you agree? I also assume you'd agree (from your our personal experience with him plus other tales) that he may, in fact, have a drinking problem. If that's the case, it has nothing to do with his job as a radio host. It's his own internal problem that would be present regardless of the job he holds.

If ESPN wanted to use this as reason for termination, I would would completely understand that from their point of view. But I don't see how a person's drinking problem/DUI should "automatically" be grounds for termination from that position. They are two separate issues. That's why I don't get the outcry from some people on here over the severity of the penalty his employer chose.

Well here is my take... for every 1 person that likes harry..there are 5 who really do not like this loser. you can count me as part of the 5..so when someone is clearly bad at their job and pisses his pants in the white sox dugout , the 5 are going to pile on and hope this slob gets taken off the airwaves.

I'd say ESPN should make Harry go to treatment, but treatment is useless if a)you don't think you have a problem, or b)you don't want to stop drinking.

I think this is a more honest assesment of what people are really saying here. Has nothing to do with "HE SHOULD BE FIRED FROM HIS JOB BECAUSE HE GOT A DUI!!!" and more to do with "I just don't like Harry".

Good job, mult.

I agree with Spanky.

Harry may be a bad radio host to most people, but getting a DUI is not related to his job in any way (technically). Sure, if he was showing up to work drunk that would be different, but he still wouldn't be fired because of the DUI per say.

If people don't like Harry, that's one thing. Pushing to have him fired because of a poor personal decision is a whole different ballgame.

no multiple name here...but anyway harry is an unlikeable slob, he is not funny at all. every show he is on, his partners have to give him courtesy laughs. harry = bad radio..and he is a homer .. it all makes for a bad host ,who most people can not listen to. you may think of it as kicking a guy when he is down? i see it as nobody listens to the afternoon saloon because of harry, nobody has had anything to say about the show or harry until this run in with the law.

It's not related to how he performs his job, but it brought terrible attention to the company. Unless of course you are in the "all news is good news" corner.

That may be true, but that would then boil down to the company's code of ethics or code of personal conduct, if there is such a thing.

Are we sure if ESPN has a zero tolerence policy?

Like I said, if ESPN thought it made them looked bad and wanted to discipline/terminate him - by all means taht is their right.

But it strange for me to see outsiders like us say "blood on the hands of ESPN" and "their fault because of the slap on the wrist", etc. That's something completely different. There is no obligation on their part other than any they give themselves.

Isn't it possible that people want Harry fired because they think there should be repercussions for someone who has an observed history of drinking heavily and driving?

possible, but unlikely.. if he were well liked.. people would chalk it up as " hey who amongst us has not drove after being over served" but he is not well liked

Isn't it possible that that is a police/legal sytem issue?

That's part of it, but for someone as rich as Harry the legal system will be nothing but a slap on the wrist. I think those who want Harry fired would like to see him actually have a punishment that matters.

:lol: :lol: No cop is brave enough to give SHAKE THAT a ticket let alone a DUI. He could drive his car into a police cruiser while drunk and the cops would take one look at him and back the fuck off.

I think the best thing for this elitist fuck is to pick up garbage on the side of the highway.

If Goff worked at ESPN I'd want Harry fired so Goff could take his place. Don't feel strongly enough about Huebner, Hood, or Dickerson to want Harry fired.

It's his second alcohol related incident in a year that we know of. He is saying the right things but what's he gonna say? I do this at least once a week or have done this a thousand times I can't believe I got caught. He's gonna say I'm sorry and suck up to people. I don't think there is much that would get him to change short of losing everything or seriously injuring somebody. And everybody writes it off as Harry just being Harry. I kind of wonder what he'll do at events and stuff now.

I'm mildly disappointed he was suspended for the rest of the week. I was intrigued enough by this to want to stop at Nellies after work tomorrow for their remote. Now that he's not going to be there, I'm going back to pretending the show isn't on the air.

It also gets better if they take him off the air and replace him with nobody

If enough people from the board really cared about changing Tiny's behavior it would be pretty easy. Enough of us go to remotes. If Harry decides to get wasted and the goes to drive home, simply ask if he is taking a cab because he's obviously been over served. If you get a reaction like WR did, the next statement is really easy. "Harry, this is a cell phone. And this is what I'm using to call the cops if you get behind the wheel. Your choice" Either his drunk ass isn't driving home, or he's getting another DUI. Even Harry isn't that stupid.
