It Appears Rocker Will Never Turn Over New Leaf

Rocker balked. So? That’s not the first time he has dropped the ball.

His mentor must be Ryan Leaf.

Standing ovations for John Rocker in Atlanta? Figures--typical Atlanta fans (I know, I’ve been there). Al Campanis said eight words in 1987 and he was “gone with the wind” the next day. Compare those eight words to Rocker’s five or six pages in Sports Illustrated . . . and what, “he didn’t mean it?” Give me a break. The only difference between Rocker and your everyday skinhead is that Rocker hasn’t shaved his head--yet.
