Dirtbag Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Not really. McLane is a frequent commentator. He's not a huge x and o guy, but more like Gaughan than Bucky that's like someone kicking vanilla ice cream out of the press box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what the original link said happened. The tweets that were sent out at the time said he was kicked out for first making too much noise, and then arguing with the staff over being told to be quiet. And frankly, I don't care why he was kicked out. My response wasn't even directed at him. It was at the other reporters who were apparently arguing about it so much they got threatened to get kicked out too, and maybe alluded to the Senior VP that there would be "backlash".
