英语博客：ESL Podcast 819 – Athletes Behaving Badly

 　　Connie: I just got a call from Ron’s agent. He’s in hot water again.

 

　　Walt: Not again! What did he get up to now?

 

　　Connie: He got into another fight outside of a bar, and he’s in police custody¹ right now cooling his heels. I don’t know what he was thinking.

 

　　Walt: It’s the off-season, so I can understand him wanting to blow off some steam. But doesn’t he realize what he’s doing to his image and reputation?

 

　　Connie: They don’t call him the bad boy of basketball for nothing. I guess it’s our job to do some damage control.

 

　　Walt: Yeah, and fast. Once the press gets a hold of this, they’ll have a field day.

 

　　Connie: It’s going to be a long night.

 

　　Walt: Not as long as Ron’s.

 

　　Connie: Serves him right!
