You'd think he would have learned by now to keep his mouth shut.

[Josh in PA]

This guy has some issues.

[cripplecreek]

"Yeah. Your job. That's just your excuse."


Rogers has an excuse. He's an A-hole.

[happinesswithoutpeace]

The crowd at the All-Star game must have driven him crazy with all their boos.

[cripplecreek]

When they introduced him he just gave the camera a dirty look.

I'm sick of all of these jerks and criminals in sports; there should be zero tolerance for these people. If you punch or harass a cameraman for doing their job you should be fired, immediately, none of this suspension crap.

[fortheDeclaration]

This guy really needs to be taken down a notch.

If you see the video, he stares at the camera man like he wants to kill him.

[Josh in PA]

I saw it.

When the cameraman incident first happened, I was actually one of the few people who backed him up and forgave him for wigging out.

But after this incident.. Staring down the cameraman.. What a pathetic, lost soul.

punk

If I owned the team, not only would I fire him, I would sue for damages (to the good will and reputation of the team).

[caver]

You're right about that. If any of us peons ever treated someone else like that, we would be terminated immediately. I'm also tired of treating these celebs like they are role models. Give me a break......

When Darrell Waltrip retired from NASCAR he left a message for the other drivers. Basically he said that the cameras are a pain in the butt. They catch all your worst moments, but someday they will be gone and you will miss them.

[caver]

That's true. I'm glad the cameras aren't on me. I'd have a lot of worst moments. Hah!

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL

[nonliberal]

I disagree. The media clymers want to be provocative but don't want to deal with the consequences. If the guy asks for some privacy, turn the cameras off.

[cripplecreek]

Drivers and media have reached an agreement in NASCAR. The cameras will film an angry driver but generally they don't stick a microphone in thier face till he's ready to talk.

For a taste of your whiskey I’ll give you some advice.

...if you’re gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.

You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em,
Know when to punch a cameraman, and know when to run.
You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table.
There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done.

"I promise I'll never do it again" Well except for next time, of course.

[CrawDaddyCA]

Sounds like Kenny needs a good ole' fashioned ass-whipping.

One day he's going to throw a little fit at the wrong person.

[pointsal]

This guy must be a charmer for the PR dept.

You might want to check that out with your team lawyer before you file suit. Firing him wouldn't be a good move. He would be picked up by another team in a heart beat and you wouldn't have a penny to show for your efforts. Trading him may be your best move.
Before you buy a team get a good general manager.
