I can see how he felt disrespected. I can also see how he could lose his cool if Doyle got in his face. I can't see him hitting him unless he was touched first. Knowing his fighting skills you have to have restraint.

Years ago around High School times,I was "play-boxing" with a friend. He was about 2 or 3 inches taller and had a much longer reach. It was scary how easy it was for a guy with reach connecting over & over.Of course if the fight was real,I would have killed him!

Seriously, The last thing I would want to do is fight a real tall guy who knows Martial Arts & boxing.

Here's why Gill is full of shit. He supposedly hit Doyle because he was intimidated by him getting in his face. But his ego won't let him really say such a thing so he has to put his Alpha male and "manhood" on display and state that he's a trained fighter and martial artist who would would destroy Doyle without thinking about it, which is almost certainly true. And that being the case, he could have hardly felt intimidated enough by a wagging finger to cold-cock the guy.

He did what he did and he got fired. I don't feel sorry for him and I don't think he's a real bad guy either. Maybe Doyle needed to be punched. But don't whine about the fallout.

Not sure it was the smart move for Gill to rehash the story in the paper while he is probably looking for a new gig.

I guess I'm on someone's ignore list...but think of the arrogance of Bardo to make such a statement. Bardo was a "glue" type of player throughout his career. Sure he was better than Doyle but they are in the same classification in terms of roles each played for their teams.

Three guys on the fringe of the entertainment industry talking about who was a better athlete 20 years ago. I wonder if Harry, Spike and Bill Leff get into similar arguments.

it was a man card issue, no doubt. it seems to me like there was a situation where, as kendall said, doyle was getting in his face literally saying "WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?!!?"

to some people, being challenged for their eminent positional domain like that is an automatic trigger for go time. i've likely saved myself a lot of headaches by getting out of those situations (typically, if you start punching yourself in the temple hard enough to invoke a little swelling whilst asking them "is this what you want?" they think you're fucking nuts and buzz off. out of the ~5 times i've done it i've (thankfully) never had anyone join in, although admittedly that would be kind of sublime in a sense)

so yeah, i mean, it seems like doyle had a genuine dislike for gill and kendall was put in a position where he had what dave chappelle would call an [n-word] moment, which i would like to doubly stress isn't due to the mutual race here, but because the kind of moment chappelle described is exactly what happened up here... kendall lost his cool and blew up, and he lost a job. i think alls he's saying is that doyle put him in that position, and i don't think this was as much "beating up a small northwestern forward" as it was feeling the absolute need to respond in part to doyle's aggression, as i reckon doyle was trying to prove a point that kendall wasn't gonna do shit so this is what it is and that's how it's going down, got it kendall?

* blam *

in an ideal world i think people would understand that when someone's wagging a finger like 1-2 inches from your face they're the ones instigating it, but as always you never wanna throw the first punch cuz like, even tho i'm with kendall on this one.... who's still got their job? exactly. for all we know maybe doyle hated kendall and they had some previous encounters and this was a concerted effort by him to get kendall the F out of there, cuz shit, if i wanted someone to come after me i'd use doyle's playbook there.

Dude are you fucking nuts? The only one who put poor Kendall in that position was Kendall. He is the one who sought Doyle out for having the temerity to have disagreed with something Gill said . If he doesn't go looking for the confrontation , he doesn't get a finger wagged in his face as part of Doyles master plan to rid the station of Kendall Gill. You're way off on this one.

Why is Gill walking around with a case of the red ass anyway? The guy has FU money. The Comcast gig was just something for getting out of the house and saying he is employed.

He's like all those douchebag CBOT traders taking boxing lessons at the union league club just itching for an opportunity to put their skills on display.

Years ago, a long time ago, when Heavy Fuel remotes had dozens of Scoreheads congregating and imbibing, there were a few members who liked to get beer muscles. One member would arrive early, drink, and then plan on how to make a confrontation with another member. Because other members would show up and drink to catch up a confrontation would occur, although they would more often than not result in a lot of talk, more drinking, and a source of amusement for the night and ongoing discussion afterwards.

At one event in the north suburbs (Schaumburg?) this one person was already drinking when I arrived and stated he was going to kick (insert moniker)'s ass. This other person didn't show up until late, not too long after the early drinker approached him and told him what was going down. Outside they went, there was talk, the late arrival popped "Mr. Asskicker" in the nose. Surprised, several of us jumped in and separated them.

Back inside I'm hearing everything, from how he got sucker punched to how he was going to stick him with the bill for the blood on his silk shirt, to how he was going to kick his ass the next time. Meanwhile, the other guy is now drinking and talking about how he thought they were friends, how he thought they were cool. And the next time he would be ready.

While I don't think Doyle is looking for another skirmish with Gill (he did get popped). I think Gill, like if my Scorehead friend had remained on his stool and had another beer, he would still be able to talk trash and not be stuck with the bloody shirt (out of a job). The one thing Gill can't claim is that Doyle started the confrontation.

Kendall Gill should have waited for Knockout to become more popular and caught Doyle on the street.

For his CSN return, Kendall should knock out Will Perdue. That will make it two big white dopes that he has dropped.
