This past week, we've seen two people mismanage the media and pay the price for their actions. Gilbert Arenas was fined $25,000 for not speaking to the media and Falcon Heene (a.k.a. Balloon Boy) and the rest of the family could be facing jail time and a $500,000 fine for their air balloon stunt on Thursday. Both are in a bit of hot water right now, who's going to make it out with less PR damage? It's time to take a look at the tale of the tape.
