...what?

I don’t think there is anything in that story to suggest that Gordon is “a little bitch.” If anything, it was in poor taste of the guys at the Ticket to do something like that, then pass the buck to the PR guy to apologize. Pretty gutless on Corby’s part, if you ask me.

In fact, Gordon comes off pretty level-headed in the article, I thought. It’s the Ticket that looks like a bunch of douches.

Are you saying that Alex Gordon had no right taking offense to his wife being called a “stupid bitch” or did I read your comment wrong?

That doesn’t sound even remotely funny. Doesn’t even sound like it has the potential of being funny.

And if some asshat were to pull something like that on my wife (or mother, cousin, close friend), then he’d have some ‘splainin’ to do. I’d probably be a lot more irate than what it seems like Gordon is.

And I’m pretty sure I’d feel that same way even if I weren’t a Royals fan.

you can download it from their itunes podcast of the show.

i think gordon overreacted a bit but cant blame him for getting upset about it. they probably should have apologized just to make it go away.

IIRC, they were going to arrange a face-to-face meeting between Corby and friends/Alex at the end of spring training but it never materialized, as Gordon threatened that he would “kick their ass[es]” if he saw them.

Are exactly why I love listening to the ticket do those spring training interviews.

“But shes OK” Gordon said

Haha, like it was some traumatic event? Your getting bent out of shape because radio hosts are doing shtick? Its what they do, its their job.

Not only should they not apologize, since they did nothing wrong, but they should just up the ante and make fun of him whenever possible now. Possibly even making a lets think of better names we can call Alex Gordons wife, segment, into the show.

It is NOT Gordon that is wrong here. I’m not saying the Ticket shouldn’t do their shtick, but he has every right to be pissed.

shouldn’t Grubes have to apologize? The hosts didn’t do anything.

He’s already one of my favorite players, but he’s being a little bitch on this one.

More than him, how girly can the Royals’ front office be? Sounds like his wife’s got to be a little bitch too. Even if she was momentarily embarrassed, that’s life. Get over it. We certainly don’t need management pussyfooting around with this, or Alex Gordon acting like the stereotypical jock goon.

I don’t get people who get so offended when wives/mothers get insulted. We’ve advanced a little bit. Women aren’t helpless, brainless breasts on wheels that need to have their honor defended. Duels aren’t in the cards anymore, either.

The Catman shouldn’t have apologized, but I can only hope that’s as far as it goes.

why is it acceptable to make derogatory and sexist remarks at the expense of a woman in order to make people laugh?

are all pretty much bitches.

Called his wife a “stupid bitch” they pushed a little button on a machine that threw out a soundbite of “Stupid Bitch”

You guys act like they went up to her face and said it, she didnt even hear it. Get over it. Its no big deal.

but if someone calls my wife a stupid bitch or “drops” that phrase on her a couple times I don’t think I would be that happy either. There is nothing wrong with the way Gordon reacted.

the fact that he didn’t do anything more is a sign that hes a good dude

and the Hardline blows. There’s no winner here. They both deserve to get down in the mud together.

These are the stupid-ass games that 5 year olds play. The fact that this is what the TIcket is these days sucks. They used to make me laugh, now they are just a bunch of elementary school recess dorks saying “poop” and playing fart drops, replaying their own jokes and laughing at them when no one else thinks it’s all that funny.

on LSB. Big deal. Who cares.
