I don't think anyone doesn't think Rush was joking in that Irving won't be checking his bank account for a $5,000 deposit.
I think the officials in that room were quite certain the message being sent behind the joke ("If you get the chance, you damn well better bang or run Miller") was no joke.
Put it all together - Rush is in there slamming chairs around, throwing things, generally having a tantrum. He is making it clear that he is PISSED.
And then he specifically mentions Miller by name, and "jokes" about a bounty on him.
If *I* was the official in the room, I think I would have gotten the message loud and clear. If Miller steps out of line even a hair, and you don't ring him, you can say goodbye to your schedule next year.
