In an article written by the Associated Press’ Jim Armstrong and found on Google News, Armstrong reports on Jose Canseco’s fight against the Korean giant Hong Man Choi. Canseco was very unimpressive in I guess what would be called a debut pro fight. In some ways I can’t believe that anybody even wants to watch Canseco fight, unless it is just to see someone beat the crap out of him. In the article Armstrong reports that Canseco admitted he “needs the money.” If you are interested in the video, you can watch it here:
What kind of joke is it when you are so stupid you ruin your career over steroids, drag everybody you know into the mix, spend the enormous amount of money that you made as a pro baseball player, and then make a weak attempt at fighting cause you “need the money.” In some ways I feel like I shouldn’t even be blogging about this because Canseco is such a fool, and to write about it just gives him more credibility, but it does feel good to verbally abuse him, in some odd way. What is the saying, “the pen (or keypad in this case) is mightier than the sword.”
One thing that gives me solace is the fact that on May 8, reports were made that Canseco called a press conference to gloat about Manny Ramirez being suspended for 50 games over something that Canseco was probably illegally involved in, and nobody showed up! Well, I should give him some credit, one reporter did show up.
Everybody Loves Jose
