Another Polk quote said to the USM beat writer which Veazey linked to.

"I tell my players that fans that yell at coaches and players are people with meaningless jobs and have people yelling at them all day, whether it's at work or it's their wives yelling at them," Polk said. "They take out their frustration on someone that can't respond to them."

I've always though heckling was part of high level sports (and yes even MSU baseball this year is somewhat high level). Some players even enjoy it and have fun with it. I heckled Griffey Jr during a Cubs/Reds game from the outfield in Wrigley and he was just laughing the whole time, but obviously i have a meaningless job and get yelled at all day.

It's like Ron is seeking out the next dumbest thing to say......and suceeding.

"85% of the world's <17>'n working, the other 15 come out here"
From his epic rant about ill-tempered Cubs fans.
It's so phenomenally work inappropriate, I'm not even linking to it (but it is on YouTube).

......at coaches and players have meaningless jobs, and the evil NCAA is the cause of all our problems and why we haven't won a CWS title at MSU.

Polk should seriously consider publishing his book of excuses after retirement.
