The Heckler's Code - If you're from the DC area you've probably heard of Robin Ficker, Bullets fan and one of the most notorious hecklers to ever wave a rubber chicken. He read Phil Jackson's biography out loud to him during timeouts; dressed as a waitress to taunt a player involved in a restaurant fight; caused the NBA to institute the "Ficker rule" regulating verbal abuse by fans; and was flown in by Barkley to heckle the Bulls from courtside during the '93 Bulls-Suns playoffs.
I love to see this guy in action. He does a better job than those who randomly scream; his theory that even if the team laughs his antics off they are still distracted is probably correct.
Did you see that he's now involved in Maryland politics? Seems like his prior work would help him greatly in coming up with mudslinging advertisements.
Maybe he can give Barkley another hand if Sir Charles carries out his promise to run for governor of Alabama
