KENNY ROGERS

by Colorado Fan on Jul 18, 2005 2:22 PM PDT

Kenny Rogers almost went off on another TV Camerman today. While taking finger prints inside an Arlington Court House, he stared angrily at the Cameraman, degrading him...

KR: (As Kenny Rogers stares angrily into the camera lense) "Dude, your getting really close, you know that?"

KR: (continues to stare, almost ready to go off) "Do you hear me?"

KR: "You must be pretty proud of yourself, too"

Cameraman: "Just my job, Kenny"

KR: "Good Job"

Bud Selig: Please suspend this guy before he kills someone.

Am I the only one

that didn't buy Rogers' apology?

Selig sucks

Do you think David Stern would have let Artest keep playing after the incident in Detroit? Hell no. It's just bullshit Rogers gets to keep pitching when clearly he has no remorse for his actions.

I honestly thought he was being sincere in Detroit

The guy needs to get a tranquilizer or something before going out in public.

The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.

Kenny Rogers.....

Has serious issues. Bud Selig....does as well. Kenny Rogers needs some anger management classes. I don't know about Bud.

Bud needs...

some balls. Get Rogers out of the game until he deals with his issues and preferably before he really hurts someone.

Anger Management

Kenny clearly needs to take Anger Management Seminars like his former teammate, Francisco Rodriguez.

Maybe Francisco can teahc Kenny how to throw a camera in the stands?

Is anyone here a tv cameraman?

And if so, can you please go stand ridiculously close to Kenny Rogers next time you see him? Anything that pisses that guy off sounds good to me. He's just an ass and is getting off lighter and lighter every day his appeal is dragged out. I wouldn't be suprised if Bud reduces his sentence to "time served" and counts his days between starts and that time. Just ridiculous.

enough is enough

i'm not a fan of the man but i do fell that mr. rogers is getting straight harrassed and i almost feel for him. i for one was never a fan of the media being allowed to be on the field before a game. the players are trying to get ready to do their job and to do the best job they can, for some of them, requires a little bit of mental preperation in privacy. especially when they go out of their way to ask for it, as rogers did.

i suspect that the original cameraman in question was sent to the park for one purpose, to get in kenny's face to egg him on. in the wake of the cooler attack it was no secret that his tension meter was in the red. so fox (big surprise) saw the chance to push him over the edge and i feel that it was intentional.

of course, this doesn't condone rogers' actions, but do you feel bad for the guy at the bar who gets punched because he has been insulting and a loud mouthed jerk all night?

"just doing my job" yeah, so are meter maids, but they're scumbags in my book too.

i'm sorry everybody, but i think macha is a good manager.

yes. those guys were

really in his face. I'd have wanted to do the same thing.

But it is part of Kenny's job to behave himself.

Camermen

Remember when cameramen were allowed on the field during actual play? This was the case in the early 1900's...you can see cameramen about 15 feet from homeplate, taking pictures.

Weren't Some of the Rangers...

...jawing at a cameraman in Oakland on Sunday?

Kenny Rogers

is a time bomb waiting to go off. He should get immediate anger management clsses before he seriously hurts someone, on or off the field.
By the way, any cameraman who gets that close to Kenny Rogers has balls. I salute you, cameraman.
