"Me and Brian (Hunter) went out to eat, and he said, "We've got a night game tomorrow.' I said, "Night game, OK.' At 9:30 (the next morning) I got a call saying you've got to be here at 10:05. That's the first time I ever made that mistake in my life. If that's the worst thing I've ever done, then so be it. " When Roberts arrived at the park, Bell got in his face. And that pretty much ended the relationship between the two men. "He tried to yell me," Roberts said. "And I'm not a kid. I'm not going to let you yell at me. I'm not your son, don't yell at me. I don't yell at my kids. I want the respect of a 34yearold man. If it was personal from that point on, that's his problem."
