Chasing Jose 

Post#1 » by HCYanks » Thu Apr 3, 2008 7:10 pm

This is an article that was published on Deadspin about a week ago... but jesus, it's a must read for anyone who wants a little insight on Canseco.

It's a little long and some of the subject matter is NSFWish, but take some time out to read it. Jose's level of douchebagginess is amazing.

I don't need an article to tell me Jose Canseco is a douche bag.

No, really, read it. Some of the anecdotal stuff is hilarious. For instance, he sold his house for $2 million in Mexican telephone stock... which subsequently crashed in value.

I'll read it later. I'm busy watching Ryan Dempster own the Brewers offense right now.

trwi7 can't be interrupted right now. He's too busy writing a book and a movie script.

Really interesting read so far. Canseco is not only a douchebag, but one of the dumbest persons I've read about. Rob is also a tool for still being his lawyer.

I'm going to finish the rest later.
