Phil Baroni Pulls A Mel Gibson

Posted by Kris Karkoski on Jul 11, 2008 at 11:00 am ET10 Comments

Phil BaroniIn what might be considered an homage to Mel Gibson’s infamous drunken tirades, Phil Baroni has reportedly taken to anti-semitic slurs himself, according to a Yahoo! Sports article which, among other things, brought Baroni’s mental state into question:

“Baroni is a bit of a whack job and we heard from an ESPNRadio1100 host who was seated near Baroni at the event, that he wasn’t exactly of right mind. Pauly Howard, the afternoon host at ESPNRadio1100, said Baroni’s state appeared altered as he went off on an anti-semitic rant during the event.”

From Pauly Howard on ESPNRadio1100:

“He (Baroni) was right next to me sitting on my right…there was a problem with where Baroni’s friends were sitting, he took issue with that and he repeatedly called the guy a fat jew, like ten times…Then the cops come over, and Baroni waves to the cop, and then they take a left and they go back to whatever they were doing…”

All class, that Phil Baroni.

    Phil is out of his prime and the ESPN guy is someone I’ve never heard of. I’m not religious at all but my family is Jewish and I take no offense to Phil saying, “JEW.” To me racism is just plain FUNNY! I love racism….it is full of humor. Phil does have a personality that would be perfect for a radio show. Perhaps he should start a show on serius radio where he can talk MMA while thrashing Jews.

    Coming this fall to CBS a new generation of Detectives Mel Gibson and MMA Superstar Phi Baroni star in “Braveheart and the Bonehead”.

  • Dannyboy says:

    Have to admit the name Phil Baroni sounds like some mobster who’s always making mistakes.

    Wonder how he knew the fat guy was a jew?

  • Jerry says:

    Here’s a few examples of celebrities with distinctive ‘Jewish’ features:

    Woody Allen
    Barbara Streisand
    Mel Brooks
    Jerry Seinfeld

    Is use of the word ‘Jew’ now akin to the “N” word?

  • Jim says:

    I’m no Baroni fan, but this sure reeks of a journeyman sports radio type thinking he’ll get off a weak “take” by making fun of the MMA fighter. Granted, repeatedly calling some guy a ‘fat jew’ isn’t the most dignified behavior but its also pretty far under the threshold for calling someone a ‘whack job’. Drunken Mel if you’ll recall recited a whole litany of “the Jews control the media” type conspiracy theories.

    More often than not, Baroni just cracks me up. So he doesn’t have the class and dignity of Joe Louis?
