"Pat Fitzgerald's Attorney Pushes for December Trial Date"

Former Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald's attorney is seeking a December trial date for Fitzgerald's wrongful termination lawsuit against the university, as he wants to avoid sitting out a third season before coaching again. Fitzgerald was fired in the wake of hazing allegations within the program and filed a lawsuit seeking more than $130 million in damages. The judge had proposed April 2025 as a possible trial date, but no date was set during a recent virtual court hearing. Both parties are encouraged to reach a settlement before trial.

HBO Chief Casey Bloys Apologizes for Harassing Critics on Twitter

HBO CEO Casey Bloys publicly apologized for allegations that he and another executive, Kathleen McCaffrey, planned to target and harass TV critics on Twitter. Rolling Stone published a report detailing their discussions of building a "secret army" of trolls to retaliate against negative reviews of HBO shows. Bloys admitted to the allegations, calling it a "very, very dumb idea" and attributed it to spending too much time on Twitter. The allegations were part of a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a former executive assistant who claimed he was instructed to create fake social media accounts. The incident raises concerns about Bloys' receptiveness to critical feedback and the ethical implications for a company like HBO.
