John Rocker: 'Bud Selig Is a Clown and Should Do the Entire World a Favor and Kill Himself.'
As if baseball's whole steroid saga couldn't get any more ridiculous, John Rocker has now inserted himself back into the discussion. He gave interviews to two different radio stations in Atlanta today and, get this, said some incredibly inflammatory things. The quote everyone will be talking about tomorrow is the one you can see in the headline above you. That's right, Rocker actually said, "Bud Selig is a clown and should do the entire world a favor and kill himself."
To me, though, the fun part in the article actually comes after that:
Later Monday, he told Atlanta sports talk radio station 680 The Fan that "between 40 to 50 percent of baseball players are on steroids" and "in 2000 Bud Selig knew John Rocker was taking the juice."
Last March, Rocker told ESPN Radio that, by his own guess, "less than 10 percent" of players were using illegal performance-enhancing substances while he was in the majors.
So, you're telling me that John Rocker is a blowhard that will say anything to get people to pay attention to him? I feel shocked! As much as people wanted and received their pound of flesh from the Mitchell Report, it's done nothing but make baseball look bad since its release. Without even talking about the ridiculous Clemens/McNamee saga, the report has given an open door to slimeballs like Rocker and Canseco to make a quick buck and stay in the news, which they're gleefully doing. How many black eyes can one sport give itself?
Got it from AOL sports.
Surprised he didn't take his own advice years ago.
