He will for sure get fired by Monday.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Holy posterizing...Sister has some lift.

EXACTLY! Glad you finally get it. When we had experienced players we made the NCAA tournament. Even though as freshmen JJJ was at the back of the bench for a team that missed the NIT, Duane was a starter for the worst the worst team in modern Marquette history, and Luke couldn't get any minutes at Indiana, they got older, developed (despite Wojo's demotivation), and once they added experienced transfers in Katin and Rowdy, became a unit capable of making the dance. Duane was the only one who didn't develop but that was because of his legs repeatedly self destructing beneath him.

So if JJJ can develop from a guy who averaged 13.5 mpg, 4.3 ppg, 1.1 rpg, 1.0 apg, 0.4 spg, 0.1 bpg, .443 FG%, .290 3P% for a team that didn't even make the freakin NIT, into a guy who was a key starter for a NCAA at large team, imagine what guys like Greg Elliott, Jamal Cain, and Theo John, who are putting up better numbers for a team that did make the freakin NIT could develop into. Future is bright!   

No doubt TAMU.  Matter of perspective.  In my view, last year's group was coached up to a 10 seed, despite all that experience being buoyed by two freshman Markus and Sam, who were the Number 1 and Number 30, 3-point shooters in all of basketball.  Yep.  A 10-seed, being the Number 1, 3pt shooting team in all of college basketball, the Number 4 team in eFG%...you know..that thing that "reigns supreme."

This year's starting lineup includes a 5th year player, 2 Juniors in Heldt and Sacar (yes, I call a guy 3 years in the program a junior), and 2 sophomores who played big minutes last year.  Not exactly "young."

In this day and age, likely.  Sadly.  Pretty sure there was humorous intent, and not malice in what he tweeted.

Porter's a good guy. Was a heck of a player at Benet in the late '80s, then had a good career at Creighton. His coaching career has taken an interesting path from hot very young head coach to taking a step back to learn under Majerus, and now lifting up Loyola back near his home town. Loyola seems like a great fit; it will be interesting to see if/how long they can keep him. I hope so.

He gowne, hey?

You have to be f*cking kidding me.

[Floorslapper]

Sincere outrage, or faux?  I happen to think the tweet was done tongue in cheek - politically incorrect humor/humor noir.

If you look at his body of twitter work Chick is probably right (except for the whole "hell is actually real" thing) and you are cutting him too much slack.  He seems to be a Tennessee fanboy who puts too much stake and pride in how the Vols perform.

Duane played on the 1988-89 Warriors squad?

[GGGG]

What a dick. Another tough guy on Twitter.

He's now doing the victim thing too with a poll about if he is the "most hated man in America."

This is the state of sports media in this country.  Hot takes that are of extremely poor taste to draw attention to one's self. 

If he doesn't get fired it is a validation of what is wrong with sports media more than anything.

[GooooMarquette]

Well, this guy is going straight to Hell...



Did I mention this guy works for FoxSports?

Guy is a total piece of garbage.

For the people who say he was "just kidding," do you think he might have taken into context that this is a 98-year old nun? People use the f-bomb all the time with politicians and such, and while I'm not crazy about that, I can live with it. But a 98-year old nun?  Seriously?!?

I can live with it, the amount of social media trash that we are supposed to all be "outraged" with daily is way too much for me personally. Seeing as this is probably the least important piece of trash on that long list, I could really care less.

He is trash, no question, but I don't know why it matters or why he should lose his job over it. I'm sure he'll get a talking to but we can't just ruin people's careers now for saying trashy things. If we are going to do that, then let's first start with all the people posting racial hatred/etc, fire that whole group of people. Let's get through that list first, maybe a few others and then we can start on the people posting unnecessary comments.

I didn't check out his Twitter for his body of work..just took this tweet on its own. I'd assume he was intending to be humorous

[tower912]

Visiting after church with friends, one a domer, one a Flyer.   We laughed that the one thing we could agree on was 'Go, Loyola.'

Yeah I guess I should say reprimanded instead of fired.

The thing that bothers me however is that the tweet is still up and he has not apologized for something that was clearly inappropriate.

[tower912]

I am sure Sister Jean has forgiven him and prayed for him.      Both things reveal the character of the persons involved.

Meant to add that as well, I can't believe he has left the tweet up.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Who is supposed to find that funny? Philadelphia Eagle fans?

Not a fireable offense IMHO, though as a member of the sports media he should get some sort of reprimand from his boss. I would also imagine that potential employers may be hesitant to hire him in the future.

However, just because its not a fireable offense doesn't mean it wasn't a trash tweet by a trash twatter. This was confirmed by his response to people's outrage.

Hiring and firing is an employment decision. And employers rightfully make those decisions based in large part on how the employee reflects on the company when using platforms that clearly identify the employer. This guy - in addition to being a complete jerk - posted something that reflects very poorly on his employer because he used a twitter account that very clearly identifies his employment affiliation.

If Fox doesn't fire him, they don't come out looking very good....

This is a single granule of sand on the entire beach of things that haven't made Fox look very good. And in comparison this is a particularly small granule of sand.

[GGGG]

It's not a Fox decision.  It will be a decision made by those who own the station. 

[GooooMarquette]

We will agree to disagree.

[Jay Bee]

An affront to the Roman Catholic religion. Arrest him!

[real chili 83]

It's a hate crime. Send in SWAT.

[WarriorHal]

MU should resume playing Loyola in Nov. - Dec. It's Chicago's Jesuit university and they obviously are a pretty good program once again. We used to play them twice a season, home and away. MU- Loyola series dates all the way back to 1924. I'd rather see us play them every season instead of one of the cupcakes.
