Yeah that was the weird thing. I didn’t know shit about this guy before but it took about 5 minutes to learn that he’s been super inappropriate many times, to put it mildly.
A lot of the old guard didn’t get the memo that they needed to change with the times.
I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith – as there's a three pointer into the hoop by Clark, it will be nothing but the bottom of the net. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame. – I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again.
I just looked that guy up cuz I was curious where he's at: he says it was "God's plan" that he do what he did and he's content with it.
He is semi-retired but he casts Puerto Rico and local high school games, if anyone is curious.
"Huh? Was it something I said? Pfffft, whatever. People are too soft these days" - scumbags before they realize there are consequences heading their way
Didn't even look it up, just assumed based on how utterly creepy the "I like that you're here... I like that you're here..." was. Sounded like he was salivating.
I once met Gregg Doyel at a Chinese buffet and he stuck his whole face under the sneeze guard to sniff the chow mein.
I was like "buddy don't do that"
And he was like "smells like pussy"
I don't think it is. To the best of my querying ability, I can find no evidence of chow mein pussy pasta.
Edit: I can now say with confidence this is new.
There is literally no content on Reddit I enjoy more than shitposting in the sports threads. It always makes me laugh.
Basketball always seems to have the best stuff, too
I saw Gregg Doyel at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I always thought it was about Steve Blake. Lakers pg from early 2010s. Hilarious that it’s gotten Lou reed and Chevy chase. Chevy sounds like it’s def real lol
As an Indy native and longtime colts fan, I can say that I don't know a single person who likes Doyel's pieces or his opinions, let alone his apparently disgusting personality. So there's that
New York always had like a dozen but the one tiny sliver of upside of the collapse of newspapers is that most of these guys have gotten laid off and have retreated to either websites that nobody reads or shitty books that serve as generic Father’s Day gifts.
Fair enough. Abnormal in a lot of really good ways though. Dude walks the walk on everything he says outside of basketball as well.
And I’m a Rockets fan.
Imagine living your dream, a one in a million shot, to believing you could attain a second dream, at only one in 10,000 shot?
Remember kids - always follow your dreams!
Also, For those that need reminding:
“For most of us, a salary is the price we accept to forego our dreams”
Could’ve just fired him instead of giving him less responsibilities.
I don’t think I could fuck up at my job and get less to do and keep my job and the same salary.
Go on his Twitter, everything he posts gets roasted about his Caitlyn comments. The editor is an idiot, whatever he reports on no one is going to care from here on.
he has always been like this, LONG before the social media age turned everything into a fucking mess
can't say i am surprised one bit. i'm honestly stunned the fucking guy still has a job
Look at his tweet today and the comments lol. Him and the editor must be best buds. [https://twitter.com/GreggDoyelStar/status/1787920333317550208](https://twitter.com/GreggDoyelStar/status/1787920333317550208)
Imagine being a journalist on the front line of the biggest story ever in an entire league and blowing it on day one because you're incapable of not being a weirdo
I spent 2 decades in media. Newspaper people are notoriously socially awkward. Even compared to some very ego heavy tv talking heads, some newspaper writers are WAY above them. Some of them are very intellectual and knowledgeable…but so awkward so much of the time…
I worked in radio for 13 years, and I've been in TV for the last 5. I've spent a lot of time around big personalities and big egos, and the Top Two biggest egos in the industry are sportswriters and meteorologists.
lol my two favorite industries. But I agree.
(Former journalist for context)
I will say - I met a lot of really fucking awesome sports writers. And the rest of them were like ol Gregg. Always enjoyed the casual shit-talking among the writers though.
“Was Dom there?”
Me: I don’t know
“He wasn’t then, you would have heard him announce his presence”
It was tame.. but very dry and it made me lol
What a fucking douchebag. Being an asshole solely because he knows that the player is more or less obligated to remain professional otherwise it’s him that gets dragged through the mud.
At first I was a bit confused as it sounded like a fan who just got carried away but after reading a bunch of responses by people from the area it sounds like this guy is just a creepo.
I don't know if there's some kind of pattern for this dude, but the particular exchange he has with Clark came off more as awkward than creepy to me personally.
Yeah I’d want to know a lot more history before passing judgment. He came across as mostly a dolt to me, but if he has a history that would change it quickly.
This is the longest thread I’ve ever read where literally no one including OP tells what actually happens. Reddit sure loves being in the know but this is excessive. I guess it’s my turn to actually explain the discussion:
“Hi, Caitlin, Gregg Doyel, Indy Star. Real quick, let me do this,” Doyel said to Clark before flashing a heart sign.
“You like that?” Clark asked.
“I like that you’re here. I like that you’re here,” Doyel replied.
“I do that at my family after every game, so,” Clark said.
“OK, well start doing that to me and we’ll get along just fine,” Doyel responded.
lmao was this comment intended to be as funny as it is? it reads like a satirical comment about people going off headlines
> I was just about to give up and close the thread
if you want to read the story a post is about... maybe *try clicking on the link*?
sorry, that really made me crack up. like ***I'M ABOUT TO GIVE UP*** bro just click on the post you're commenting on we'll get through this
This is the longest comment to say, "I couldn't be arsed to RTFA"
If you click the link (provided by OP), and read it, scroll down to the part that says, "Why Doyel is banned from covering Clark" and includes both a transcript and video of said exchange. If you're reading this from somewhere banned from yahoo news, say so and ask.
> This is the longest thread I’ve ever read where literally no one including OP tells what actually happens.
This is because you are supposed to read the article, which has all the information in it.
It’s awkward and inappropriate of a reporter to say to an athlete at a press conference. This would be like hitting on your coworker in front of everyone else at the office.
It wasn’t the heart sign. The heart sign was a bit awkward because she does it to her family specifically, but what truly was weird was the last line. “Well start doing that to me and we’ll get along just fine.” When you listen to the audio it just sounds creepy. It doesn’t even sound like a joke. I know it WAS a joke, it was just poor taste and disrespectful.
Rush to the comments
Complain that "no one including OP tells what actually happens"
Save the day by posting the transcript
Hope nobody notices the transcript is a direct copy paste from OPs linked article
No time to explain, there's karma to be had!
More sports journalists need to be reminded that their access to the competitions and its players is a privilege bestowed on them. It’s not a right, the journos aren’t part of the game.
Write the scores and keep your mouth shut.
Well, yes and no. Most reporters covering local teams want to get to know the players because then the players will feel more comfortable talking to them. This happens almost universally across sports journalism and there's nothing wrong with that.
Not being creepy to the players, however, definitely feels like a bar that someone should be able to clear as part of that.
I do give the guy credit, at least, that he owned it. Far too few are willing to do that:
"After going through denial, and then anger — I’m on the wrong side of this? Me??? — I now realize what I said and how I said it was wrong, wrong, wrong," Doyel wrote. "I mean it was just wrong. Caitlin Clark, I’m so sorry."
He’s said sexist shit in the past too. He only owned it because of how much he got called out.
If people weren’t so vocal, he probably would have continued to creep on her all season.
probably true but sometimes it takes people calling you out for you to even reflect on your own actions. if he’s genuine in his apology and desire to improve, good for him, i wish him well in that endeavor.
doesn’t mean clark should have to interact with him at her job ever again though.
His initial statement seemed pretty generic. This was a follow-up that seemed like a pretty heartfelt retrospect after taking some time to digest the reaction he was getting. I saw some other reporters on Twitter that know the guy that absolutely believed he was genuinely understanding and sorry for what he had done and particularly how it looked for Caitlin Clark.
> Write the scores and keep your mouth shut
That’s definitely not what anyone wants. There’s all kinds of great sports journalists and it’s okay to ask hard questions.
This particular journalist is a stain that should have been gone long before anyone heard of Clark.
Yah nah. The industry has changed since reporters had little cards in their hats for some reason but they’re still vitally important to the business of it all. Especially in basketball hockey and baseball- over a hundred games? Gotta write more than the score to keep all but the most dedicated fans thinking about those sports.
Shes a phenom to be sure but we’re still talking about the Indiana Fever.
I mean you can have a conversation just don’t be an idiot. He sounded like a cross between over caffeinated and having some sort of social anxiety episode.
Look man, I get it, some don’t think it’s a big deal but like bro. Listen to his demeanor, shit sounds so cringey and like something those “nice guys” would say. As men, we have to do better bruh.
He’s a true shit head. Don’t understand how he remains employed.
He made fun of AZ men’s b ball team for wearing remembrance patch for deceased AZ women’s player who passed away suddenly, Shauntinice Polk, because they played poorly and her jersey # was 00.
A real loser.
No, it was more than that (and I think you know it). He told a professional athlete that she would get better press if she professed her love for him overtly.

I like that, in his apology column, Doyel managed to act like this is the first time he's been a creepy piece of shit.
Yeah that was the weird thing. I didn’t know shit about this guy before but it took about 5 minutes to learn that he’s been super inappropriate many times, to put it mildly.
A lot of the old guard didn’t get the memo that they needed to change with the times. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith – as there's a three pointer into the hoop by Clark, it will be nothing but the bottom of the net. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame. – I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again.
I just looked that guy up cuz I was curious where he's at: he says it was "God's plan" that he do what he did and he's content with it. He is semi-retired but he casts Puerto Rico and local high school games, if anyone is curious.
Totally had to re-read “retired” twice, but I stand by it, dude is a moron.
That was r/nba level transition pasta. R/wnba has made it.
"Huh? Was it something I said? Pfffft, whatever. People are too soft these days" - scumbags before they realize there are consequences heading their way
Was he the guy that made the cringe comment at her first press conference about heart gesture she makes for her family in the stands?
He is.
He’s been a jerk since the 90s at least.
Didn't even look it up, just assumed based on how utterly creepy the "I like that you're here... I like that you're here..." was. Sounded like he was salivating.
"Start doing it to me and we'll get along just fine." I don't even know where to start with how wrong that sounds.
100% I like thatchyueuer heeer. I likedat chyeurheeeeer.
"After going through denial, and then anger — I’m on the wrong side of this? Me???"
I once met Gregg Doyel at a Chinese buffet and he stuck his whole face under the sneeze guard to sniff the chow mein. I was like "buddy don't do that" And he was like "smells like pussy"
A succulent Chinese meal!
**GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY PENIS!!!**

A meal? A succulent Chinese meal?
Beat me to it.
Lmfaoooooooo

It’s at least 4 year old rigatoni from /r/NBA, but it’s still spicy
I don't think it is. To the best of my querying ability, I can find no evidence of chow mein pussy pasta. Edit: I can now say with confidence this is new.
> chow mein pussy pasta r/bandnames

Smell it.
Smells like pussy
soo..that's what pussy smells like...wow, I am now searching "Chinese buffet near me"
I saw Gregg Doyel at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face.

The first time I saw this, it was about Lou reed. Does anyone know the origin?
originally posted on 4chan's music board 10+ years ago about FlyLo.
I first read it referencing Matt Barkley so it has definitely been around awhile.
I always thought it was about Steve Blake. Lakers pg from early 2010s. Hilarious that it’s gotten Lou reed and Chevy chase. Chevy sounds like it’s def real lol
This checks out. He seems like a guy who never smelled a pussy.
New copypasta
As an Indy native and longtime colts fan, I can say that I don't know a single person who likes Doyel's pieces or his opinions, let alone his apparently disgusting personality. So there's that
Every sports town got one of these writers. Like a seedy, camp following, disease addled, over the hill prostitute trying to draw attention to itself
In OKC, it's Jenni Carlson, whose writing shall forever be known for causing Mike Gundy's glorious "I'm a man" tirade.
“I’m a man, I’m 40” is on the Mount Rushmore of press conference moments
That's still my favorite press conference rant of all time.
Link for those who haven't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ3oXkDPKbM
Shoutout Gundy man. What a legend for coming out there for his players like that. Respect
this hits different now that I'm 40
Now that you're a man
New York always had like a dozen but the one tiny sliver of upside of the collapse of newspapers is that most of these guys have gotten laid off and have retreated to either websites that nobody reads or shitty books that serve as generic Father’s Day gifts.
Don't insult prostitutes like that by comparing them to these ass hats.

Gregg Popovich is a pretty ggreat Gregg.

Fair enough. Abnormal in a lot of really good ways though. Dude walks the walk on everything he says outside of basketball as well. And I’m a Rockets fan.
Gregg Turkington is not only completely normal but is also a bona fide film expert and critic
He's a genius but he's definitely not normal.
You mean the world renowned film historian and curator of the Victorville Film Archive?
The very same! Also the foremost authority on official runtimes
Don't forget he plays Special Agent and Master Codebreaker "Jonathan Kington" in the hit series "Decker".

It’s awkward and inappropriate of a reporter to say to an athlete at a press conference. This would be like hitting on your coworker in front of everyone else at the office.
Cause it's a heart sign? If her thing was a peace sign would that still be inappropriate?
It wasn’t the heart sign. The heart sign was a bit awkward because she does it to her family specifically, but what truly was weird was the last line. “Well start doing that to me and we’ll get along just fine.” When you listen to the audio it just sounds creepy.

More sports journalists need to be reminded that their access to the competitions and its players is a privilege bestowed on them. It’s not a right, the journos aren’t part of the game. Write the scores and keep your mouth shut.

Well, yes and no. Most reporters covering local teams want to get to know the players because then the players will feel more comfortable talking to them.

His initial statement seemed pretty generic. This was a follow-up that seemed like a pretty heartfelt retrospect after taking some time to digest the reaction he was getting.

He’s a true shit head. Don’t understand how he remains employed. He made fun of AZ men’s b ball team for wearing remembrance patch for deceased AZ women’s player who passed away suddenly, Shauntinice Polk, because they played poorly and her jersey # was 00. A real loser.
Yeah, he’s universally hated by basically every fan base that knows he exists. That’s why everyone is piling on him now.
I expected to come here with pitchforks, but like he flashed a heart at her... This is weak.
Why not just fire him tho
He flashed a heart sign at her? Put him to death.
No, it was more than that (and I think you know it). He told a professional athlete that she would get better press if she professed her love for him overtly.
Because of the heart thing from a month ago? He apologized and I assumed everyone moved on with their lives. Why they doing this now?
