Crazy Kenny Rogers
Texas Rangers pitcher Kenny Rogers went Ron Artest on a couple of television photographers. They were shooting video of him as he walked to the field on Wednesday. Rogers shoved two cameramen, and threw one of the cameras to the ground before kicking it.
As of late this morning, ESPN.com reported that Rogers could face assault charges and a suspension from the team. He deserves both. There's almost nothing that justifies his getting physical with the videographers. Rogers should absolutely be suspended and prosecuted. It's not likely, but I'd like to see him wind up in a very real jail, not some minimum security country club. I've toted around a TV camera and I wouldn't tolerate someone jerking with it or me.
