Pretty scary, I wonder why it took ESPN so long to get this guy

[ShaneTravis]

The defendant left the following voice message on Sportscaster A’s voicemail on October 27, 2004 (Red Sox fans note the date):

“You can take your New York Jew a** and go the f***en home. I'm glad you're on tonight you mother f***er because you got to see history, you f***ing New York f***ing c***sucker. They won and every f***ing curse and everything you f***ing idiots from that city and nationally are done and I'm going to go up there and beat you’re a** anyways. F*** you.”

For any of us that were at game 6 and 7 (and this is an extreme case) but this was the attitude and in your face antagonism at the stadium and bars in midtown, from my expierence. Never heard any racial,ethnic slurs so not sure what this guy has against Jews from NY. Counseling seems to be in order.

Wow. I think paranoid delusion is an understatement reading those quotes.

I've posted on these topics before and with each "event" it just drives the point even more.

Eventually, there will be protective walls to seperate 'fans" from the players. Increased security, preventive measures and surveillance will all come out of our pockets b/c of the few idiots out there.

so now espn has an east and jew bias

[RhodeyYankee2638]

oh no, they got Evil Empire's letters

[AMYanks]

Pretty scary, but his threats would be taken much more seriously IMO if he didn't threaten to kill about a dozen anchors. You obviously have to take drastic measures when someone says something like this, but you also can't take him as seriously, because it's hard to imagine him going up there and killing ALL of them.

Is there someone on Espn that is Jewish? Why would that be a focal point for his threats?
Hopefully they send him to some sort of "reprograming" his motherboard seems to be messed up.

I wonder where he works? Imagine working next to that guy for 9 hours.

The only guy I could think of was Mike Greenberg (I think he's Jewish?), but there could be more. I usually watch ESPNEWS instead of SportsCenter, so I'm not certain.

[NYYFAN]

Is it the guy we always see on the commercials hanging out at the guard house?

[Hitman23]

damn.... this guy has issues

[ZYanksRule]

Wow, get that man some help.

[jlw1980]

Yowza! Such vitriolic statements...

[DontHateOnNumber2]

Jeremy Schaap I believe is Jewish. I remember the report done about Bobby Fischer (one-time chess prodigy) and how anti-Semetic and realistically insane he seemed. He said terrible things about Schaap's father, but it was blatantly obvious that Schaap was Jewish. Although Greenberg could be the one being referred to with the whole New York reference I guess.

Is Chris Berman Jewish?

[Sam18]

Lol sox fans.

[BronxBaumer]

Man, they should have locked him up. He's lible to hurt himself.

[Kluivert4Ever]

Lupica went to far this time.

[PinstripePride]

Lol sox fans.

Ahahaha

[Soriambi]

I've never been a fan of [Sportscaster B], either.

In all seriousness, though, that's messed up. Hopefully he gets the help he needs.

[PeteRFNY]

That guy sounded like he was really close to doing something really bad. Good thing they got him when they did.

[Jim F.]

I swear we've probably banned that dude from here on several occassions.

[Stick Michael]

Probably a 'tough guy behind the computer' type that's all bark and no bite. He's lucky he didn't get prison time. They have a word for people like him there:

Bitch.

Is Chris Berman Jewish?

Nope, his dad is but his mom's not (according to Wikipedia), and it's the mom that counts according to Halakha (traditional Jewish law).

Greenberg is Jewish, and from New York. I'm not sure if anyone else on ESPN is, so this could be directed towards him.

Can you imagine what he would have done if the Red Sox lost!

The guy must be nuts. Greenberg kisses Red Sox butt.

I think the picture that some of us are missing is that this man does indeed need to be taken seriously, because he is not mentally intact. The man believes that he is being ripped off by ESPN, he believes his phones are tapped, and that these personalities are "out to get him." He is not an "idiot," "a tough guy behind a computer," or someone that we "can't take as seriously," because given the chance, and during a time of great stress, he WOULD go and attack these people. This man is not the same as those that heckle opposing fans inappropriately at games, or chuck batteries in the bullpen. Those people do it because they think it is funny, or because they think it is their "right." The man in this lawsuit is doing it because he is paranoid and believes that the ESPN personalities can see inside his head through his TV.

Now forget how crazy that sounds for a sec, and ask yourself, "What would I do if this group of people were able to see inside my head, steal my thoughts and ideas, and laugh at me every night as they watched me through the TV set? How nervous would it make me? How much stress would it cause? How do I make them stop?" That is the life that this man is leading. He is a mentally ill individual that needs some serious therapy, and should be taken very seriously until he works out whatever issues are going on in his life.

[Yankee Bulldawg]

this is very scary indeed, and the individual making these threats needs some serious help

[BroadwayBomber55]

Not only he needs more help, a lot of people need a straitjacket to tie this nutcase down.

[PaulieIsAwesome]

I believe Mark Shapiro, former programming guru for ESPN, is Jewish. Name, plus honored at UJA event: http://www.ujafedny.org/site/News2?J...rticle&id=8379

[Arod for President]

After reading that I have an entire new outlook on those guys at ESPN. For every fan they have, they must have 10 enemies!.. Scary stuff. That Psycho needs to be locked up
