Carpenter was at Marcos de Niza High in Tempe on Tuesday to watch a game featuring his girlfriend's sister, and even though the atmosphere doesn't quite match a Pac-10 football game, he and his friends did the best they could to liven things up with a little playful heckling of the referees. It was all good clean fun, until the lead official stopped the game and asked his whole section to leave.

Except between the ejection and the exit doors, multiple sources say Rudy got a little belligerent, a little salty with his language. The scene prompted school officials to call the police (the situation was resolved before the patrol sergeant arrived), and it left some witnesses shaking their heads.

Carpenter vehemently claimed he was an innocent bystander, but would not comment further for the record. He said he was tired of defending himself.

I can see how that would be exhausting. Do you know how much energy it takes to get yourself thrown out of a girl's basketball game?

Apparently, Carpenter, according to the online witnesses (that's the only place people are speaking up), took a bit of an issue with someone mocking his shirt and lost his mind.

Rudy was sitting outside the stadium after the game and one of the students asked him why he wasn't wearing gold. He then started yelling back at him "oh yeah what sport do you play? what sport do you play?" and ended up running down the ramp and chasing after the kid trying to start a fight with him. Rudy continued to challenge him to a fight and repeatedly called him a homosexual.

Again, just some random Internet people, but there are a lot of them, and the stories are popping up all over the place. We are wondering if he really kept calling the guy a "homosexual;" that's a lot of syllables to pronounce when you're really pissed off like that.
