Hockey analyst Jeremy Roenick has been ousted by NBC over sexist remarks he made, he announced in a pissed-off tweet Wednesday. “I’m very disappointed and angry today. I will not be returning to NBC,” he said in a video message that was captioned “What a joke!!” Roenick was suspended for comments he made on a podcast—reader, you will not be shocked to learn it was a Barstool Sports production—about colleague Kathryn Tappen. He referred to her as a “blonde bombshell” and suggested he would love to have a threesome with her. Roenick, who spent almost a decade at NBC Sports, is already plotting his comeback. “I will not be gone for long,” he said.
