Texas Rangers (and former NY Yankee and Met) Kenny Rodgers has, what the Rangers are calling, "Anger Issues."
He punched out a cameraman. And yes, there’s video.
People, you don’t do this. How many of us have had to physically separate our clients from the media? As in, "OK, we’re done here, let’s move on." It’s not […]

Random Wednesday thoughts.
Even though they’re one of the most fun clients I’ve ever had, I’m glad I wasn’t handling the Great Ice Pop Debacle for Snapple yesterday. (Although they’ll get great press out of it.)
