Rocky McIntosh's wife not amused by his radio interview

[The Goat]

That's pretty good

...I've heard about that plenty and thought I would experience it once!!! Was a decent baseball player in high school (center field) and went to an Oklahoma St. Cowboys camp one summer. The coaches and several players ran the camp...probably the best sports camp I ever attended. But anyway, I kept wondering when we'd get taken out or invited to a university event w/ co-eds, maybe even cheerleaders. Never happened, for any of us at camp, which is still bullshit IMO. Different crowd? Definitely. Even in college, football stars have instant glam over the baseball stars. But I think MLB players have it better in the long run. More money probably because of longer average career and surprisingly high dollar contracts. And they probably never broke a bone during their career, or two bones, or seven.

But whatever...football is forever the good shit!!

Goat:

PLUS, MLB contracts are guaranteed all the way to the end of the deal. So when a guy signs a deal for 5 years and $50M, he gets the full $50M even if he hits .151 for those 5 years.
