    And an armed robber, apparently, too. Get it straight. ;)

    I had a positive experience the one time I met Tommy.
    He was brought in to make a few TV and radio spots at a Ford dealership in the Mississippi Coast.
    Afterwards, I recorded a good interview with him, jogging his memory on the longtime Dodger infield of Cey, Lopes, Garvey and Russell.
    He spent at least 15 mins talking with me. I've still got the cassette.
    That one, and the time I pissed off Pete Rose at a presser prior to his being Grnad Marshall at a Mobile Bowl parade, those are both keepers for me.
    Rose was livid when I switched gears from all the softballs those reporters were serving him up.
    I asked him about the gambling and he really launched into a rant for about 10 minutes.
    Said how he had always been an ambassador to the game.
    Still got those tapes.
    And Tommy's alright in my book.
    As far as the hookers, lots of guys like hot women in tight little outfits.
    And women look at guys in the same light, from time to time.
    Why are folks here seemingly so often quick to judge?

    He was set up, man. Because would OJ do anything that drastically stupid without AC to caddy for him?

    So let me get this straight, Blitz...you spent 15 minutes lobing softballs at Lasorda and he was just the greatest interview you ever had.
    Then you played Jim Gray with Pete Rose about gamblig, and he reacted like the prick he is.
    So that makes Tommy OK in your book.
    Did you ask Tommy about disowning his gay son? That's the equivalent of asking Rose about the gambling issue.
    Wonder how nice Tommy would have been if you did.

    Seems you may be quicker to judge than many of us here.

    spnited, I've been known to be cold-blooded but my asking Tommy about his son being a fudge packer or why he disowns him is really personal. Unless it was a tell-all book I was writing about him, I really don't want to know that stuff.
    And I know you've seen the little fat ambassador lose it but you know what? I've also seen him take that same guy to the side and give him good info. It's all part of his schtick.

    Fudge packer? That was one of the most offensive things I've ever read on this site. You should be ashamed of yourself, boots. Of course, after your "Oreo in the sugar bowl" remark yesterday, I guess nothing is beneath you.

    You make me sick.

    It doesn't matter what time of day it is, you continue to troll and stalk. I make you sick? Use the ignore button.
    It's evident that you want to engage in arguments with me. It's not happening junior.
    It's retarded for you to get emotionally charged from a public message board. It really is and you need some serious counseling.
    The correct phrase is fly in the sugar bowl. If the phrase fudge packer bothers you, sorry.
    Now, what else to you want to troll about?

    You said "Oreo in the sugar bowl." I saw it; many others saw it. You going back and editing your post doesn't change anything. And I'm guessing, oh, about 99.9 percent of the posters here have a problem with the term "fudge packer." You might as well called Lasorda's son a "fag;" it's no different.

    So not only are you a racist, you're a homophobe, too.

    But please keep calling me a troll if it makes you feel better. Still haven't gotten around to starting that poll, I guess. Coward.
     
  9. fudge packer?

    retarded?

    Stay classy, boots.

    Boots would know all about fudge packing. Most men who like ass sex with women also enjoy it with men.

    Good Doctor. For someone who is at at "top 10 paper" you seem preocupied with two things, this site and cutting me down. It doesn't matter what time it is. It doesn't matter what day it is, you're like a fungus, always here ready to pick fights with me.
    It's quite evident you don't have any friends. It's quite evident you don't have a life. But computer porn and sportsjournalists.com is no way to go through life son.
    Now the phrase is fly in the sugar bowl. I corrected that on the site several times. If the term fudge packer bothers you, I apologize.
    Now, you continueually bait me me by calling me a "coward" and you talk about some kind of poll you want to conduct.
    I'll be whatever you want me to be and you have my blessing to start the poll.
    I think we addressed everything. All in all, have a great day today. You keep trolling. I'll keep laughing. Peace.
    Oh and Sportshick, how would you know what most men like? Is there some kind of scientific survey out there with this information? Before saying "most" about anything, it would be prudent to show proof. Just a suggestion.
