ESPN suspends @LindaCohn but does nothing to @jemelehill ...wow, don't care what side of aisle you favor, that's wrong!
3:45 PM - 13 Sep 2017

He just triggered the whole station with this tweet. Hub (his friend) is probably working the phone with Mitch trying to get him out of his deep dark depression. 6 months is the answer. After football season

Have no clue. Didn't even know she was suspended until all the political sports tweeters starting having panic attacks

To get suspended from ESPN? I dunno, mention the NHL?

EDIT: hot damn, I was closer than I thought. She said ESPN paid too much for the NBA and alienated its core viewership.

So she criticized her employer. Not sure how this applies to Hill's comments.

It appears that he has forever.

I seem to remember him as being pretty bad at his job with the Bears yet here he is as an expert.

I've thought this for a while, but have no data to support my viewpoint. Wasn't he a scout under Angelo? Didn't most of Angelo's drafts fail, ultimately resulting in his firing?

Who did Gabriel ever identify as a "sleeper" pick? If it was Urlacher or some other great player, I stand corrected. (Although if he found just one guy then that is more of a "blind squirrel" contribution). But I'm not sure he's a great evaluator of talent, else he'd still be an NFL employee versus a WSCR contributor.

Briggs
Hester
Tilman
Olsen
Forte

Harris is a half.


5.5 good picks out 9 drafts as director of college scouting.. Sounds pretty abysmal.

That is a pretty controversial tweet by Gabriel. To my knowledge, the entire station outside has the same opinion on all social and political positions.

When this topic came up last week, Bernstein asked why Jemele Hill's comments were even controversial since it was a fact, etc. Goff just mumbled his agreement, etc.

Reddit/Twitter had fun with a week 4 bears tweet Greg Gabriel tweeted earlier this year.... which apparently he deleted...

that's fine, but to post that in defense of yourself, when the original tweet was a dig at someone else's previous predictions.... a bit hypocritical?

It’s also such a specific, snarky comment that of course it would and should be made fun of. As Nas said, we all make predictions that turn out to be wrong. Just take it rather than whine about it.

For some strange reason Julie was supposed to do a Score NFL draft show with Greg Gabriel. Of course she calls off sick. So Les fills in. Needless to say it was pure magic. Les got pranked all night with obscene calls, and references to porn stars being passed as draftees.
