Yeah I heard reports that Scotty was horrible during this event and I really didn't believe it since he's always come across as a nice guy, a fun act, the life of the party type in his interviews and TV appearances.

I was just stunned last night watching this event, pretty much echoing what everyone else in here has written already.  My respect for Scotty Nguyen is totally out the window.  Gone.  This is a personal respect thing, not professional, he has proved time and again he is one of the best.  But his antics and cursing, and berating of that kid was just ridiculous.  The kid was stoked to be on TV and honestly was not even 2% as bad as most kids are on TV but for Scotty to just go off on everyone from the players to the dude bringing him beer was horrible.

Count me out of the Scotty Nguyen fan club.  Next time I meet up with some poker press people I know I will ask them about it, and if Nguyen has had any comments about this event since it's happened or aired.  I would think if he cares about his public persona (which is pretty valuable in terms of sponsorship deals) he needs to immediately apologize, explain how he's not going to drink (you can always blame it on the booze), etc etc.
