They recently fired 4 more writers.

And, perhaps even worse, I hadn't even heard of any of the 4 writers. (I looked up the Mike McDaniel writer to see if it's the same person as the recently fired Dolphins coach. It's not.)

I thought it was just a space for amateur sports writers to publish articles now?

Didn't they get caught using AI avatars as writers a little while ago?

People who agree with John Rocker's beliefs should be able to admit that he's a self-centered doosh bag at the same time, but for some reason the people who agree with John Rocker's beliefs can't. Rocker is a hall of fame piece of shite human, trust me.

The Vice interview on youtube is great. Rocker no doubt smashed that lib chick after the interview.

Rocker was, and I'm assuming still is, an idiot.

I enjoy most of them. He can eat Will Clark's dick though for the one he did on him (and for his shite book about Sweetness).
