No one gets triggered better than fat old white guys.
Sanctimonious much?? Who brought his race into it..he was a terrible capper but decent host..maybe..no one triggered but you..whatever that means..

Are you sure you're paying attention to what is written here? Weird you would miss that.
Don't think I was ever beating up on Ken Rudulf either, sorry. People would do well to take into consideration what the on air personalities are paid to do, and also realize that they aren't all in the same role.

My bottom line, as the viewers/nettots/CUSTOMERS it is not our job to understand the talking heads. It is their job to inform/entertain us,
Ken was a good reason for me to not watch TVG during the week. I am
sure I am not alone.

While I am delighted to know he will no longer piss me off, I feel dorry that he lost what looked to a great job, but I blame no one but him for te action.

Frankly, TVG has a lot of idiots on air, but most are at least entertaining idiots.

There is no excuse for personal attacks on Ken, but the is no requirement to support him.

Customers want what they want when they want it.
The customer is NOT always right, bur he is ALWAYS the customer.

Ken passing himself off as a handicapper who knew what he was talking about was a turnoff. Some will say it was the TVG brass forcing him to do it, but Ken always bragged on the off chance he got it right. He would often say "we handicappers here at TVG", or "follow my picks at TVG.com". Always sounded like he fancied himself a seasoned handicapper.



If he was on with Matt, Simon, or Rich I'd turn the sound on. You know, the guys who could really break down a race.



Hope Ken finds greener pastures doing what he does best.

My sentiments entirely.....
I wish Ken Rudolph good luck down the road.

Social media scares me worse than Count Dracula. I would rather spend the night in his castle (with no crosses or garlic) than posting on twitter or facebook. I'd have a much better chance of emerging unscathed.

Start typing on twitter and you are a voluntary part of the food chain, complete with chum trail.

I will gladly make do without whatever increased visibility those platforms might confer.

Grape nuts. At around 2 in afternoon. With a capful of milk, at most. The consistency of gravel. Lots of blueberries on top. Never topped with sugar. Ever.

When I see cereal floating in a sea of milk...yuck.

Oddly enough, that form of sustenance is not nearly as healthy as it sounds (excepting the berries, of course). In fact, I can do better dieting on cheezits-which sit on the stomach like boulders.

I'm lucky I'm retired. My bad takes can't cost me my job.

Of course I've become so cynical my posts on politics, the media, Wall St, the defense dept, the intelligence community etc... could prompt putting me on an FBI list for unapproved truth telling.

Ellis Park and a few extreme twitter-dwellers are the only ones who loved his comments

I think he would do well as a carnival barker-if that fails he can stay in that surrounding and be a clown which would be perfect
