    I actually think it was Kemp. Pretty sure.

    Or the Bowa thing for that matter? I can give you a pretty long list of good guys that Bowa has pissed off during his overrated career. Kemp (and Stewart) had good reason to be annoyed with Bowa, who is the only asshole in this equation. And sure, he was moody at the end of that 2010 season. With good reason. (FYI, Bowa accused him of quitting on a team for which he ended up playing 162 games that season.)

    My 6-8 experiences with Kemp, on the other hand, have all been extremely positive. I've seen a warm, friendly easygoing guy with a sense of humor who's unfailingly polite with the workers/people around him from what I've seen, too.

    FYI, earlier today he pledged $250,000 to the Oklahoma City tornado victims.

    Here's a video from a week or so ago peeling off half his uniform to give to a special needs guy after a game...

    I'm sure he's apologized and paid his debt to society. And that's a tremendous gesture this morning by him. But ... man ... domestic violence isn't something that I can get over very easily.

    Wonder why he didn't pledge the $250K yesterday?

    Look, Dick, if you're gonna call him a woman beater, back it up. Chris Brown was the one who beat the holy hell out of Rihanna, and then was forgiven in the public eye like nothing happened.

    Not all light-skinned black guys look alike.

    I really hope you're fucking around about this.

    Dick, you're pretty fucking wrong here. You're thinking of Chris Brown the rapper not Matt Kemp.

    I might be wrong about Kemp beating up Rihanna, on second thought. I had the sound down when I saw the story. Guy sure looked a lot like Kemp, though.

    What's your endgame here, Dick?

    You're an idiot. Kemp and Chris Brown look nothing alike.
