Sun Deckers beat us to this topic by a few hours.

Maybe Pete Jr. should save this article to show his future kids someday. It will help them understand why they don't get to visit their grandpa more often.

They were talking about this a few hours ago on an Astros board, too.

Once you take the bat out of his hand, it's all downhill.

Pete's rehabilitation is doing wonders. He may get into the HOF by 2500.

I met a guy once who went to school with Pete.

He said Pete was the type of guy who knocked the books out of your hands in the hallway.

Re: Pete Rose said what??!?!

If that was someone I didnt know, I would swear the guy is either drunk or a complete ass.

Sad thing is anyone who knows Pete knows he doesnt drink!!!

He's just an ***.

He could play some ball, though!

Re: Pete Rose said what??!?!

I'm sorry...PETE ROSE is a tool and the US ARMY should have more forethought than having him in to speak to kids...once again, Army Intelligence asleep at the wheel.

(That was a joke...funny probably only to me and some those who are anti war...but there you have it)

Re: Pete Rose said what??!?!

He did a similar thing in town last year at a camp in Cincy. Brilliant.

Hey WOY, guess what.....I graduated from Western Hills High School in 1973. My four older brothers also did as well as my father-in-law. My eldest brother DID go to school with Peter Edward....and Rose was a less-than-model student.

Before you continue with this tripe, check your facts.

BTW, there is a movie called Airbourne......about, believe it or not, rollerblade skating. It was filmed at Western Hills.....rent it some time.

What facts?

The guy who told me?

You just confirmed it from where I sit.

I know a guy who worked on Airborn, said it was a joke movie, part of the rollerblade chase intercuts part of Cincinnati with part of Malibu, it's quite the gaffe.

Jack Black was the goalie in that movie. Seth Green was funny. I kinda liked it.

I was invited to be a rollerblader in that movie as an extra! haha. I was younger, about 10, and my parents had me in check then. I liked the movie...good stuff.
