It's the WWE. They "took the F out".

It was being confused with the World Wildlife Federation. For years I thought I was sending my checks to an organization that helped protect cute little monkeys, penguins, etc., when, in fact, I was donating money to pay for replacing Hulk Hogan's ripped T-Shirts.

And isn't wife Linda the CEO who would actually then be in charge of hiring Pat Knight if he wanted to go that direction as an earlier poster mentioned. Or if he wanted to be part of Monday Night Raw would not Stephanie McMahon be in charge of hiring him since she is the GM of Raw?

Linda McMahon was recently named to the Connecticut State Board of Education. Really. Seriously. You can't make this stuff up.

You were sending your money to protect ugly large monkeys, penguins, etc!

Being local to the TV stations that carry the Nebraska Huskers, I saw the entire tirade on all of the 10:00 newscasts at the bar after attending a JUCO game. Pat's first T was for going onto the court in protest of the foul call, his second was for torking off at one of the other officials while the first one was going to the table to report the first T.

Pat Knight is nothing like his father. How often do you see him recieve a Technical foul? He was frustrated and blew up, big deal. I actually had the priveledge of meeting him and he is a great person......again, nothing like his father. The reason this is making news is that it isn't like him to do this. I watched him coach in the CBA (I think it was that league) and he was always good to officials.

There is a difference between "blowing up" and running 50 feet across the floor to jump in the face of an official. An easily defendable Flagrant T if the official had so chosen. Then he returns from the tunnel and has to be restrained by an assistant.

He may be a great person and nothing like his father off the court, but on the court he exhibited classic Bobby Knight behavior in this situation.

Well, he wasn't good in this incident. Getting a T or even getting ejected is one thing. Pat crossed over a few additional lines in this tirade.
