Once again hockey takes a backseat to Dan Bernstein.

Dan Bernstein has won the entire week. What's hockey?

It's not even that. One tweet has caused him to leapfrog LeBron James as the greatest of all time.

That means CBS lawyers (his bosses' lawyers) are aware of the situation. Could the previous emergency day off with SQNEvents now be interpreted as a suspension? Will others (on-air) be told not to make further reference to things even remotedly related to certain parties?

Will Seacrest continue to duck out from his post?

I thought he went to Paris for a week planned after first one. That was just fortunate for the brass. I tend to think if that wasn't the case he would have got a day off there as well.

Wow. I know Terry had the pincushion remark, but I didn't know either one actually used her name. They're usually really good about that. Dan is getting dumb.

Bernsie is lucky that Cheryl Scott doesn't work at WGN.

If Tom Skilling, The Godfather of weather in Chicago, got involved, bad things could have happened.

Very bad things. :wink:

This really puts Dan into a corner. He is always saying that he won't back down - think his comments about the Catholic Church and DePaul, him losing that gig because he wouldn't stop making comments. He knows has to apologize, and in doing so, has to refute all of "his sources" that gave him this riveting story. If he apologizes, he basically is saying that he made this all up, or at the very least, reported unsubstantiated rumors. His ego is so big he won't be able to do it.

The other way to deal with it - simply don't say anything about being suspended. He can't do that either, as he is a guy that "owns it' - as he said after the last episode. It will be interesting to see what he does.

On a side note, management may require him to go to sensitivity training - either that or AA.

Sure got Mitch's.

Well, forget all the Reif stuff, Duncan's Keith's wife, etc. I'm gonna guess that Sharp and Scott may actually be true. The thing is, in this day and age, to look down on a woman for getting her swerve on? If anything, they should be bashing the married guy who is nailing her. She isn't doing anything wrong. bernstein is so fucking strident when it comes to other shit, like gay rights, I guess he just hasn't evolved that far yet.

I'm guessing Terry either stayed too smart and didn't use the name, or was just smart enough to have it escape out in the airwaves instead of ol' Tweeterstein, who has to 'own' it. It's indeed a dumb tweet to cause a suspension, the 'boobs' one was worse. Scott either has more powerful friends, or it's considered a repeat offense.

If Dan was called into the principal's (or SQNEvents) office on this, what does he even say?

DB: "the joke is she had sex with multiple Blackhawks players"

bosses: "do you know this for sure?"

DB: "I hear things"

bosses: "so you don't know. And even so, why is that worth tweeting about?"

DB: "it's a, comma, untidy lifestyle. Patrick Sharp is married. It caused locker room tension"

bosses: "so why not direct the tweet at Sharp?"

DB: "...oh I guess that was misogynist, huh"

LoHo: :cry: "I'm disappointed, Dan, but I understand. It's tough not to think of my little sister having sex"

DB: "I know, I was drinking Lot 748, and just thinking of their bodies..."

CSFMB: This is weird, and bad. Beardown's better. :lol: jk no he sucks worse still, carry on RotS.

Beardown: ::starts new thread::

100% agree

Mitch is a good dude. He works hard to maintain relationships and be a good guy. While he will stand by his guys, when it gets to the corporate level, thats above his paygrade.

The dislike of Mitch seems misplaced. His job is mainly to get ratings, and B&B has done that for him. I understand why he generally supports Bernsie.

The simplest truth is that Dan is bad guy because he is not trying to appease his bosses with repeated offense behavior. This isn't the first time, he's been warned, his bosses have talked to him. Or are they too indifferent to care. Maybe they have their own agenda and despite short term poor optics they'll settle for promoting their own long term agenda. Maybe his boss will hang him out to dry with attorney's fees in some form or fashion?

As to his bosses at CBS I'm sure they're disappointed that Dan has not listened to what their attorneys told him before. Or at least that he didn't listen to their "we are smarter than you, Dan" factual admonishment.
