Sports Reporter Fired: Susannah Collins Let Go Over "Sex" Snafu, Controversy

Comcast SportsNet Chicago reporter Susannah Collins has been fired after making an epic gaffe the other night that led to revelations about her past. Chicago Blackhawks Reporter Miscue “Due to circumstances unrelated to her on-air remarks Tuesday, Susannah Collins and Comcast SportsNet Chicago have parted ways,” CSN Chicago said. “We appreciate everything that Susannah has contributed to our network over the past year and wish her the best in her future endeavors.”   Tuesday, the Chicago Blackhawks reporter said that the NHL hockey team had a “tremendous amount of sex during the regular season.” She meant to say “success.” The mistake went viral, landing everywhere from news web sites to the Tonight Show , which was expected, but unfortunately for Collins, it didn’t end there. Susannah’s slip of the tongue quickly refocused the Internet’s attention on a series of raunchy YouTube videos uploaded between 2009 and 2010. As co-host of Sports Nutz, Collins pushed the boundaries of journalism (and tact) with sexually explicit reports and potentially offensive racial stereotypes.

Chris Kelly Overdose Suspected By Family, Authorities

The mother of rapper Chris Kelly told police that her son became sick after taking drugs, and officials believe an overdose took the Kris Kross rapper’s life. Chris Kelly died Wednesday in Atlanta at the age of 34. Kelly’s mother, Donna Kelly Pratte, 54, and his uncle, Lamar Williams, 52, told Fulton County authorities that Chris Kelly had a history of drug abuse, too. Paramedics found Kelly, 34, unresponsive on a couch at his Atlanta home and tried administering CPR. Kelly was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. Authorities have already completed a physical examination of Kelly’s body and a toxicology screening was being done to determine cause of death. It is believed he took heroin and cocaine the night before. Kriss Kross was introduced to the world in 1992 by music producer and rapper Jermaine Dupri after he discovered the pair at Greenbriar Mall in Atlanta. Kelly, the “Mac Daddy,” performed alongside Chris Smith, a.k.a. “Daddy Mac.” “To the world Chris was Mac Daddy but to me, he was a son I never had,” Dupri, his mentor and close confidant, said in a written statement Thursday. “When I think about it, I spent more time with Chris and Chris than damn near anybody in my whole life, so you can imagine how bad this hurts.” “I will always love you Chris, and I will never let the world forget you, may God bless your soul.”
