Roger got pissed at the reporters. Like very pissed. Pissed like someone who was hiding something and was using anger to try and force his point. This is a common used technique. Its also a symptom of steroid abuse. That whole rage thing. Some of the "analysts"who are employed by espn actually had some good point(s). The first one, and probably the only one worth talking about was that Roger never asked the Bri-man to change his story in any way because if he did, it could be considered witness tampering. I'm not a legal expert and I don't claim to be. I once went to traffic court for the experience, but this made sense. Although I really don't see the Bri-man getting on the stand in defense of Roger, seeing as how Roger just sued his ass in civil court.
Lets take a look at Rogers stats.
-He was a force on the mound for 7-8 years in bean town. Then he kinda shit the bed and was traded to the Blue Jays.
-He was a Blue Jay for two years and was cash money.
-Then he became a Yankee. He played for five years and was a twenty game winner once, but was kinda eh....well in the post season. There was that game he pitched against Boston and was shelled.
-14 and 10 post season pitching record...I've seen better, but I've seen way worse. Considering the pressure and the fact that I couldn't do it. I'm just going to make generalizations that can't be argued due to the wiggle room in the statement..
I think he took the 'roids. Then again everyone in the 50's thru the 80's took greenies. I learned about it from Jim Bouton.
Roger did make a statement that he didn't care about the Hall of Fame. I think thats shit. I dreamed of being in the HOF when I was in T-Ball.
