Congrats (again) to ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd, who continues to make XM’s Tony Kornheiser look like a broadcasting genius by comparison every time he opens his mouth. Yesterday, while commenting on Congress’ plans to have several high-profile baseball stars testify as to what they do or don’t know about steroid use, Cowherd suggested that Sammy Sosa might try to weasel out of it by pretending he doesn’t understand English.
There are a lot of substantial reasons to knock Sammy Sosa. His schtick got pretty tired even before the ex-Cubs outfielder got cranky or saw his numbers drop. But as someone who would rather not see Mark McGwire come off as Dick Clark versus Barry Bonds’ Alan Freed, I think there’s something a little creepy about an unfunny morning radio hack being so quick to depict Sosa as a crooked Chico Escuela.
hey smarty pants….in fact, sammy sosa DID do just what colin cowherd said he would…he, after living in america and giving interviews in english for 10 years, suddenly forgot all of his english!!! sammy is a roid rager!! he used to look like a greasy haired q-tip!! now he is a muscle bound meathead who is no longer a power hitter since the roids were taken away from him…fraud! colin was right you pinhead
Derek,
if English is your first language (and with your loose command of punctuation, I shouldn’t assume anything), perhaps we can look forward to the day when you are asked to testify to an audience of millions IN SPANISH.
Hindsight being 20/20, it’s pretty fucking easy to sit back and say I was wrong…months after the shit went down. Much as I dislike Sosa the ballplayer, excuse me for not presuming the most racist thought that popped into my head.
