The Athletic’s Celtics Insider Jared Weiss Talks Ime Udoka Controversy w Rich Eisen | Full Interview

[@TCO1216]

somebody important's wife. definitely.

[@tipsy09]

Yep

[@cygnevara8400]

vp wife and players wife

[@FerallHog]

Isn’t it mandatory to mention Bret Farver randomly while discussing this totally unrelated and salacious situation? I think the Radical Left requires a mention of Farver.

[@MF_Doom203]

Leaking it to the media is not handling it right lol it's already to late...Ime and Celtics have done real damage to the Brand

[@lynnerose7891]

You do realize they did try to handle this weeks ago, right? It “leaked” because they didn’t get this handled internally and they “needed” outside pressure to shift the blame from the Celtics organization, especially after they discipline him or fire him.

[@MF_Doom203]

@@lynnerose7891 wrong

[@beerme8949]

Has to be more to this right? Has to be more than just a random staffer? For year long suspension talk, and rumors of him resigning. Idk obviously I'm speculating. It just seems to have to be more at this point.

[@ZacharyJohnG]

Brockman I’m there with you bro, this is so awful, why do bad things happen to my team????

[@frederickdouglass1806]

I don't understand this at all. If it wasn't consensual he should be immediately fired. If it was, it should be handled privately with a significant fine.

[@roberttammaro7305]

A fine? Why? Only his fiancé should be mad

[@mreppen1]

It was probably someone’s wife. A person in the front office?

[@kingcujo1152]

15 minutes of coverage for this but 3 minutes for your buddy stealing from poor people. Great job

[@davidstansbury9309]

I hope Favre goes to jail.

[@ZacharyJohnG]

This l…is very true

[@TheSweetswed]

Tell me you're black without telling me lol

[@Victory1507ci]

Favre is happy for the temporary distraction- he’s going to get his

[@manyfacedgod1982]

When Favre gets charged and goes to trial you will wish folks like Eisen and folks at The Mothership stop talking about it.

[@domino2009ful]

Nia Long is available now‼️👊👊

[@FerallHog]

She isn’t very attractive anymore. 51 way past her prime

[@buckminsterfullerene11]

Robert Sarver.

[@fredricmartin3639]

Why didn't they keep this in house.

[@2299mikey]

It’s pretty impossible to keep a coach suspension in house.

[@jdeljones]

@@2299mikey I know right. Training camp starts next week. Season opens in a month. And if he’s going to be gone for a full season that’s impossible to hide. Leaking it at night maybe was there way of trying to not make this a whole thing. But it’s still a whole thing.

[@ZacharyJohnG]

It feels like they tried to, Woj’s original tweet was REALLY vague, but Shams came out of left field with ALL of the tea.

[@jefferybarefield6372]

Don't nothing stay in house ... its people who know some of your business and you didn't tell them anything

[@petep5207]

The yshould have kept Grudens emails in house

[@matiasmorales1130]

Welp lol this doesn’t bode well.

[@RonDJuan]

The Celtics are responsible for each & every innocent person affected by making a vague public spectacle of this

[@Luiiciano]

You don’t even know if it was them. For all we know it could have been the Udoka camp. The leak has worked against the organization and they had nothing to gain from that leak so I don’t buy it was them.

[@BoldWittyName]

Must have been with the owners 18 year old daughter to get year long suspension 😃

[@mreppen1]

I hate the Celtics, but what a sh. Show

[@sethmarie]

This is news. But we got to dig more into the brett favre story.

[@stevewise1656]

Yes! Favre did much worse, though he's NFL hillbilly royalty and the media, other than Shannon Sharpe has spoken out about Favre. ESPN canceled their excellent investigative shows, so it won't get covered in long form the way this Favre issue needs to be covered.

[@FerallHog]

🤣 they can do both stories. Separate segments.

[@keenannash2947]

@FerallHog jea they can do both... just they aren't. I've seen like 5 10 minute videos about these damn text when all there are are vague assumptions but Rich only committed like 3 minutes to discussing the Farve topic... if thays "talking about both of them" then I call BS cause the Farve story is a much bigger issue.

[@DoeBoy681]

I’m willing to bet that this was Brad Stevens leaking this out. If the relationship was consensual then why is there such a big uproar about it.

[@Chicagocubbiegirl]

L lp

[@justinpridham7919]

I think Boston has a race problem. Ownership, fans, players, staff, city, history, culture. Boston is kinda gross folks.

[@mattwatts33]

They are different there. But it makes them unusual and they want blood! If it’s not the opponentsblood then they’ll take the Celtics blood they don’t care

[@petep5207]

Justin, this one has nothing to do with race

[@justinpridham7919]

@@petep5207 what's the crux then?

[@FerallHog]

The head coach was nailing a VP’s wife and fellow employee! That is disgusting and foolish. Nothing racist about this story.

[@Victory1507ci]

Bill clinton didn’t get a suspension ! This is crazy to suspend a coach for this

[@bigballer6666]

It pays to be the boss lol

[@petep5207]

Man, you are really reaching. Sure you dont wanna go back the the middle ages?

[@lennylink8772]

Banging the bosses wife is a NoNo. Men don't like that

[@williamphillips3035]

This is the thing, if the Celtics fire him, they know a NBA team would snatch him up in a heartbeat and the ramifications of him being gone would destroy their team and whoever coaches them next could not get them to buy in like Udoka.

[@dagobert1234321]

My lakers would hire him ASAP

[@FerallHog]

Ehhhh….I don’t think he will get another coaching job. Too toxic. Not mature enough. Creepy. Lack of self control. Selfish. Untrustworthy. Foolish. Nah. He’s done.

[@youngmaster4892]

Fired him is that simple

[@samcole4425]

Jared is very uncomfortable here

[@JM8T]

Being asked to respond to questions no one has the answers to is a difficult job. I think he did as well as anyone could have in this situation.

[@samcole4425]

@@JM8T He knows more than he's allowed to say

[@natemallory9141]

I hate Boston but I have to say this is being handled as poorly as it could be. I bet real money the Udoka relationship was with a white woman. The handling of this and what I just said are not coincidental.

[@whodidit99]

Didn't the female violate team policy. Why is she being protected?

[@tomtalley2192]

Probably one of the owners wife or girlfriend.

[@FerallHog]

Their legal department is involved…she could be suing the organization or some aspect of the story we don’t know about is forcing them to consult with lawyers before moving forward. Things like this are messy and very delicate.
