About damn time. I'm tired of these prima donnas getting away with trying to ham it up and be the center of attention. Note to ump: The game is NOT about you. Make him pay Bradley's medical bills, too.

I agree about stupid refs/officials/umps wanting to be the center of attention. But it was Bradley's dumbass going after the ump while being held back that caused his injury. Almost as bad/dumb as the kicker (grammatica sp?) getting injured after celebrating a fg a few years ago.
