I know we all love to hate Joey, but here's an interesting interview with him:

Pretty old article, tbh. I'm pretty sure it's already been posted here somewhere before.

Fuck him. He's not worthy of any article. Shouldn't be allowed to ref given the grudges he holds.

I think if you read the article you'd realise that his problem is anger management, not grudges.

Honestly, I think this was posted last year before the playoffs started.

Anger is the genesis of the grudge. You cannot be an impartial arbiter of the game under those conditions. He should have been fired after his initial dust up with Nellie in 2003, let alone the Duncan bullshit, but I guess the NBA needs their bag men to deliver series when needed, and if Joey Shit head weren't already controllable after the first class ticket scandal, he certainly was after repeated public meltdowns.
