Jeremy Roenick has been suspended by NBC Sports after the NHL analyst made comments on a Barstool Sports podcast about colleagues at the network.
The news was first reported by John Ourand at Sports Business Journal Monday, who received a statement from NBC Sports that said: “Jeremy Roenick has been suspended indefinitely without pay for making inappropriate comments about his co-workers. We will have no further comment at this time.’’
Roenick, who was born in Boston and played hockey at Thayer Academy, appeared on the Dec. 19 episode of Barstool’s “Spittin’ Chiclets’’ podcast. Roenick told a story about being on vacation in Portugal with his wife and NBC studio host Kathryn Tappen, and how a hotel guest had asked if the three were together.
