It Was Bound to Happen!

With all the talk of fraternities in Chico getting into trouble, it was bound to occur. Yes, I am sad to report that one of my fraternity brothers has acted poorly in public and probably more than just this once.

It seems that Burt Reynolds has gone slap happy, roughing up one of the co-producers of the movie, The Longest Yard, which is a remake of Reynolds 1974 classic. It's reported that Burt wasn't pleased with the co-producer badgering him with questions about the plot of the movie and finally slapped the guy. Here is the juice from the article:

"You don't know anything about the movie?" Reynolds asked.


When the producer admitted to not having seen the film, or the 1974 original version in which Reynolds also stars, the actor reached out and slapped him, asking, "What...kinda guy are you?"


"The guy has never seen the...he asked me to tell him about the picture, he's standing here in a shirt that needs ironing, the man works for CBS, I'm embarrassed. I like the guy, he's a nice guy, he's a tough guy, he wants to hit me now, he can't, 'cause he's under contract. But we'll meet later if you want," Reynolds went on.

Well, at least Burt's not from my chapter, but that would be cool! By the way, I'm fairly sure he belongs to Florida Alpha chapter.
