Texsox Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Y'all are way too young. Us old guys will remember this Kenny Rogers classic and soooo fitting. Ev’ryone considered him the coward of the county. He’d never stood one single time to prove the county wrong. His mama named him tommy, the folks just called him yellow, But something always told me they were reading tommy wrong. He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison. I looked after tommy ’cause he was my brother’s son. I still recall the final words my brother said to tommy: Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun. Promise me, son, not to do the things I’ve done. Walk away from trouble if you can. It won’t mean you’re weak if you turn the other cheek. I hope you’re old enough to understand: Son, you don’t have to fight to be a man. There’s someone for ev’ryone and tommy’s love was becky. In her arms he didn’t have to prove he was a man. One day while he was workin’ the gatlin boys came callin’. They took turns at becky.... there was three of them! Tommy opened up the door and saw his becky cryin’. The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand. He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy’s picture. As his tears fell on his daddy’s face, he heard these words again: Promise me, son, not to do the things I’ve done. Walk away from trouble if you can. It won’t mean you’re weak if you turn the other cheek. I hope you’re old enough to understand: Son, you don’t have to fight to be a man. The gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom. One of them got up and met him halfway ’cross the floor. When tommy turned around they said, hey look! ol’ yellow’s leavin’. But you coulda heard a pin drop when tommy stopped and blocked the door. Twenty years of crawlin’ was bottled up inside him. He wasn’t holdin’ nothin’ back; he let ’em have it all. When tommy left the barroom not a gatlin boy was standin’. He said, this one’s for becky, as he watched the last one fall. And I heard him say, I promised you, dad, not to do the things you done. I walk away from trouble when I can. Now please don’t think I’m weak, I didn’t turn the other cheek, And papa, I sure hope you understand: Sometimes you gotta fight when you’re a man. Ev’ryone considered him the coward of the county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 For all of those calling the cameraman a wimp... According to his doctors, he's had a pair of herniated disks in his neck and another pair in his back over the years from carrying around that camera. He may have re-injured one of those previous injuries thanks to Rogers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 1 big note... He does have the ability to play in the all star game, and that doesn't count towards his suspension.

I saw the replay, the guys is a little b**** trying to get money out of this I don't disagree that he's trying to get money out of it, but if you were injured by a multi-millionaire on camera, would you sit on your ass and not complain? And secondly, pushing a 30 pound camera off of someone's shoulder, someone who already had preexisiting back and neck conditions, is actually enough to hurt them. It's not life threatening, but that doesn't mean Rogers' actions weren't illegal, and that doesn't mean he shouldn't have to pay up for them.

Did you see the footage of this guy after Rogers went after him? He was getting ready to leave, you couldn't tell that he needed any medical assistance, and he winked at someone with a little smile. Next thing you know he's in an ambulance. I think Rogers got what he deserved as far as a suspension goes, and I think he should be ineligible for the All Star Game, especially if he has a clause for a nice bonus being selected. But this cameraman is milking it, no doubt about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camera wasnt even pushed OFF his shoulder.. He just pushed it up, and then they guy put the camera down and Rogers kicked it, which didnt even hit the guy..

First he kinda pushes it off. Then the cameraman gets back up and puts the camera on his shoulder when Rogers now pushes it off. Then he picks it up and Rogers wrestles it away.
