For chrissakes... Kenny Rogers

Leave him the [censored] alone! This story is ridiculous.

Rogers at CNNSI

Just told the guy to back off and it's major news. Please. And the whole bit about the other cameraman going to the hospital... what a joke. I've been hurt worse on the way to the mailbox.

Kenny Rogers is a jackass. That said, this is so much of a non-story it makes me mad that it's being reported as news.

i think he should have tried to avoid acting like a prick to cameramen for at least a few weeks.

Maybe a news cameraman ran over his dog when he was a kid or something. He REALLY doesn't like them.

Not a big incident, but that guy is obviously a prick.

This is correct. Rogers didn't approach the cameraman, didn't raise his voice and didn't say anything objectionable. And why the hell would a cameraman be allowed inside of a police station to videotape someone as they are getting fingerprinted and processed?

Kenny Rogers can eat my ass. He has the worst case of "i'm a pro athlete, I can do whatever I want" syndrome that we've ever seen.

Kenny Rogers as tough guy really cracks me up. He's basically shown the balls of a field mouse throughout his career. In NY he was scared to death during the 1996 and 1999 postseasons with the Yanks and Mets. It doesn't matter if the cameraman was hurt or not. The guy was doing the job he's paid to do and Rogers suddenly morphs into Rambo. Lame.And just as lame is the resident brain surgeon David Wells defending Rogers actions. Someday would just love to see some reporter or photographer go back at one of these athletes or celebrities who think they are also tough guys.
