Miami native Jose Canseco has made a post-baseball career out of snitching on his former teammates and getting punched in the face. This is not a dignified existence.
And yet he insists on respect. Every time evidence emerges that a star did ‘roids, he has to point out that he said in one of his cranium-melting books that that star did ‘roids.
So of course, he had to schedule a press conference in Beverly Hills to make said statement about the Manny Ramirez bombshell .
Problem is, we all got the jist a couple of months ago, when the world’s most annoying author did the same song-and-dance about A-Rod- despite the fact that he also smeared an innocent Pinecrest buff guy, in our mind- and a Canseco I-told-you-so press conference now ranks below municipal waste management hearings as every reporter’s most dreaded assignment.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If Miami New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
So only one print reporter showed up yesterday, hopefully convincing him that the niche field of bragging about giving people ‘roids has forever dried up.
