This morning, on The Howard Stern Show (a.k.a., the show you used to listen to all the time until either: a) he left for satellite radio, which you don't get; or b) he got divorced from his wife, draining the show of its subtle, mostly hidden pathos), Jose Canseco was a guest.

So, Does Anybody REALLY Care About Jose Canseco And Alex Rodriguez?
So something interesting happened yesterday, in the wake of all those Canseco stories. The "mainstream" sports world went nuts — poor Joe Lavin, the guy who bought the book, found his name on the freaking ESPN crawl — but you guys, the actual sports fans out there, responded with shoulder shrugs and...

Jose Canseco Really, REALLY Wants To Get Into Film
Our favorite aspect of this whole steroid era in baseball has to be that the grand whistleblower was Jose Canseco. Baseball was so dirty in the '90s that this meathead was the closest we have to a hero. It's kind of awesome. (We own one of these shirts, by the way.)...

Jose Canseco Is Very Cautious With His Speech
Jose Canseco confounds us, because he's obviously a moron, yet he's pretty much the only guy who's been right about this steroid business from the beginning. It's like learning Charles Nelson Reilly came up with some cinematic innovation 20 years ago. Anyway, he's spouting off again, and this time h...

Misguided Sports Sartorial Decisions
