Évidemment, cela ne garantit rien, mais j’imagine qu’ils ne le soutiendraient pas publiquement s’il y avait des rumeurs de mauvaise conduite.

I’m just dying to know why he was let go (or didn’t have his contract renewed) as it’s just confusing me
The longer no one says why this happened the worse the speculation will get
I’ve seen a paywalled post that said Marek didn’t do anything malicious or terrible, but more he said something that angered a stakeholder. Hopefully , that is true and I could see that Marek while having a long discussion accidentally said something too critical in the moment.
I saw a rumour that he leaked a trade on draft night to another team. Any legs to that rumour?
Very bizarre situation. The suddenness and public silence from both Rogers and Marek makes it seem like a conduct-related investigation or dismissal. But the public support from so many colleagues in the media (who likely have some idea of what is going on behind the scenes) definitely indicates that the conduct is not at all the usual things we see (ie. not something like harassment or inappropriate behaviour).
Hope he’s doing well and starts a new Jeff Marek show somewhere else, but it won’t be the same without him and Friedman together. I was curious when he was dropped from HNIC last year, maybe there were still som hard feelings from that.
I wish we can bully Sportsnet into re-hiring Marek. I freaking love that guy.
Listening to him and Eliotte on 32 thoughts is always the highlight of my week.
I don’t know what I’m going to do without them…

I just want 32 Thoughts to keep going 😭
Must be restarting
Live Audio Wrestling. The LAW returns with Marek
I saw some tweets last night that I can’t find again that were saying he got fired for pissing off stakeholders and not carrying water for Bowman/ Q and maybe said some things. Definitely just twitter bullshit since this is like one of 6 different rumours in this thread 😂. But im choosing to believe it cause I always thought Marek was a g.
He deserves better than shitty SN either way, and hope he goes somewhere good. I wonder if SDPN has money for him?
frankly, the fact that marek and sportsnet haven’t put an end to the speculation makes me think it’s likely that something did happen.
it doesn’t mean he committed a crime or did anything amoral, but there was clearly something that pissed off the wrong person at the wrong time.
it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, but it seems unlikely that this was just a contract issue.
I need to know that Jeff is ok. He and wysh got me through running deliveries everyday as a young 20 something. He needs to come back and tell me about the Sarnia Sting’s power play in ’94, or Daniel Sprong.
Probably said something political that some executive didn’t like
Marek is the man
He was going around Vegas telling people the Sphere isn’t actually a sphere because the bottom is flat.
Love Jeff Marek and his work on 31 thoughts – Hope everything works out for him!
I just hope this all means he took a better paying job somewhere that he most definitely deserved. I’d hate for this to be anything negative against a guy who genuinely seems like he loves the sport and the people he works with
Maybe he told Ed Rogers the truth that his father was a genius, and he’s just an a-hole riding dad’s coat tails and was born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a home run.
Fuck Sportsnet. I’m fascinated to see what Elliotte says (or doesn’t say). I hope they both end up at TSN.
what does “unconfirmed draft reasons” even mean
I know a guy who was abruptly fired during a Vegas business trip. Turned out the guy farted and it upset a board member. It was a really really awful fart though. 10/10 stench, no sound. But he ended up winning his wrongful termination suit because there were 4 people in the elevator where it took place and the defense couldn’t prove beyond a shadow of doubt that the guy was the actual farter. Silent but deadly also means no liability because no one can pinpoint the source. Could’ve even been multiple farters. I think it was indeed his fart, and damn to be able to fart so good you end up getting a settlement check you can retire on has been my dream scenario ever since. I hope Jeff gets this dream as well.
Look, no matter what happened, it’s in the past. Let him accept whatever his new position at the Edmonton Oilers is and let’s move on.
Big fan of Marek and he’s a big fan of my team, he can happily help us on local broadcasts.

I wonder if Marek was critical about the Sphere not being a super old fashioned historical and out of touch hockey barn to have the draft in. That would seem on brand lol
The silence only pours oil on the fire. I’m a huge fan of the Around the NFL Podcast that was unfortunately disbanded this year – they had a 6 week period of silence, and the conspiracy theories around the humans that ran the podcast were crazy before the NFL confirmed the split.
I hope they provide an update on Marek sooner rather than later.
I honestly don’t care what people think about him and Elliotte but a Hokey World without 32 Thoughts and even the Jeff Marek Show is not a good Hockey World. Sorry, not sorry.
I only started listening to 32 thoughts this season. This feels like watching S1 of a show and thinking wow this is amazing, then you hear that in ep 1 of S2, one of the main characters is being written off in a lame way
I hope it’s nothing bad. I know Jeff was part of the whole John Scott thing but the way the NHL handled that was terrible because it brought viewers to the All Star Game. As far as I know that’s the only transgression that Jeff has had so I hope this firing was not because of something big. I think Jeff is too good to be away from the game for any length of time, and I don’t think he wants to move to the states so maybe if TSN picks him up they can relaunch MvsW because TSN and ESPN are sister companies.
I’m will to bet… that he said something about online betting.
I went from Marek vs Wyschinsky (not spell checking that) to 30/31/32 Thoughts, and will jump to Marek’s next hockey podcast.
