should tvg suspend ken rudolph?
As abunch of us were watching the tampa bay derby Ken Rudolph remarked
to Frank Lyons theres a huge pick 6 carryover tomorrow, Lyons
said no racing tomorrow at new york. Rudolph then said oh yeah I
forgot its a mob holiday. Obviously lyons was a bit miffed and said no its
Palm sunday. Im now getting madder by the moment as I think about it.

No. People say stupid things. This was not racist or said with any intent to offend anyone. It was just an unfunny comment. But I'm sure the 5 people who took offence will complain and something will happen.  We are allowed to say what we want with out fear of recourse.

I need 4 others to take offense ( note the spelling of offense). And you reference the mob ??? Who the hell do you know in the MOB???
And how do you know what the intentions were???

In defence of Rudolph , he didn't know palm Sunday was tomorrow . I'm not suggesting he's a great host , just that he made a mistake ... lighten up .

I remember Kenny.....he sucked. Reason #2 I quit watching
Loud mouth turkey with nothing to offer - must be Matt's brother. 
I can see a jerk like him saying that. Clueless and classless.

I found it very offensive. TVG defintely needs to take some action on this one. KR thinks he's doing a comedy routine. He needs to return to the B movie genre from whence he came. Maybe they can place him in a remake of "Swamp Thing" or something.

Since the mob generally refers to Italians, and the vast majority of Italians are Catholic, how could this be taken a simple "Oops, my bad" type of thing? Sounds like he knew exactly what he was saying to me.

That's the way I read it.............. if you didn't get it...........you didn't get it. But it sounds clear enough to me........?

Since I am both Italian and Catholic, Rudolphs' comment didn't bother me.
I find the comments made in this thread both asinine and offensive and it should be removed from the board or at least put in off topic so I can ignore it with all the crap by using the "new post ignore off topic" button
