January 10, 200521 yr Scroll down to the video section and click "Randy Johnson gets physical with CBS 2 cameras."
January 10, 200521 yr lol.... well it looks like he is handling the new york media pretty well already. i dont see him as a large market personality.. seems to much of a loner
January 10, 200521 yr It takes a certain type of mental makeup to pitch in New York, just ask David Justice, Jason Giambi, Chuck Knoblauch and Jose Contreras to name a few.
January 10, 200521 yr Johnson didn't get outta hand... cameramen can be real annyoing 652437[/snapback] He should be used to this over his 900 year MLB career, its not like he hasnt had to deal with media before. Its a whole new ball game up there Randy. You wanted this trade. They payed you the green. You gotta perform.
January 10, 200521 yr Passion, its not like the New York media is tearing him apart. I can think of 2 times in the past where Johnson has done the exact same thing...in Arizona...He just doesnt like any media, at all...period. I know you'll twist anything so that it makes it look super negative toward the Yankees, but really, dont try to make this out to be more than it is. BTW- David Justice was great for us. Not much was expected of him, and he gave us all we could have imagined and more.
January 10, 200521 yr So, how about Schilling destroying that Questec camera back when he was with Arizona... :mischief

I just said the New York media is as intense as it gets and the pressure is going to be unlike anything he knows. This was a non-big deal, but he already made it a big one. Hed better get to like the media or he isnt going to last the season.
January 11, 200521 yr The video isn't working for me? I hate how all these news sites have stupid streaming media...
January 11, 200521 yr cameramen can be real annyoing 652437[/snapback] You know from personal experience? You just signed a huge contract, you were the major move for the world's biggest team and you freak out when someone has a camera? It's not like they were asking for pictures of his kids. What a dumbass.

What a dumbass. 652806[/snapback] The Unit hates media attention, but I guess it's his own fault for wanting to be traded to New York. This isn't the first incident he's had with the media.
January 11, 200521 yr He can knock over all the camera men he wants so long as he pitches like he did in 2004.

Its not a matter of whether you like the media or not, its whether you can deal with the media. Him pushing a cameraman doesnt have to do with not dealing with the media, it has to do with him not liking the media.
January 11, 200521 yr he deals very poorly with the media .. often trying to intimidate them it worked out here and in seattle .. but I doubt he'll have luck with the same tactics in NY he likes to be cranky, bully them and then when needed use them to make a statement if he sticks to his historical waves he's not going to mesh well
January 11, 200521 yr Wanna hear something pathetic? I saw this this morning and was like Whoa. But I read this thread yesterday and assumed there was a video of him taking his physical to officialy become a Yankee.
January 12, 200521 yr how can you blame him? How would you like it if you were walking down the street and some stranger started filming you? He should have smashed the camera.
January 12, 200521 yr I would hate to be a celebrity for that very reason..... the media. I can't really blame Randy, but he better get used to it playing in NY.
January 12, 200521 yr how can you blame him? How would you like it if you were walking down the street and some stranger started filming you? He should have smashed the camera. 653758[/snapback] If I'm making millions to pitch in New York, I'd expect it. :confused Wouldn't happen here.
