37. why?

this is a thread about Serena. What athletes have you seen directly threaten an official with bodily harm and then deny it 20 seconds later?

but since you insist, off the top of my head
Barry Bonds
Pete Rose
Shawn Avery
Charles Barkley (when he played, I actually find him a funny announcer)
Lawrence Taylor
Oscar Pistorius
Luis Suarez
Mike Vick
Aaron Hernandez
