Thanks for this info, it lets me know when to avoid TLC.

First rule you have to remember about 'ol Pete: What's in it for Pete?

The more attention the 'roids get, the better he looks in comparison, crime-wise.

Baseball brawls are so comical. Back in the day, Tyrus Cobb met an umpire under the bleachers for a real scrap. Instead of fining and suspending them, they should make them really go at it one on one. That would be better punishment for the affair.

Not that I'm a Tracy Jones fan but consider the source.

[RANDY IN INDY]

Well, the source still has more hits than anybody that ever played the game and was inside those Reds clubhouses on a daily basis when Jones played. He might have a idea about the situation. Certainly wouldn't be a surprise if it were true.

And his lifting buddy (and son) went to jail for dealing steroids and in Jr's case GBL.

I guess we'll know this afternoon based upon how this is played up on 700. If it talked about all afternoon, stunt (though perhaps based upon truth?), if its ignored, then its probably true.

B/c for a national show, if Pete says somebody juiced and the person is Tracy Jones, 95% of america says "who?"

No stunt. We were told not to play the clip.

It just seems to fit the profile too much. I have no proof obviously.

i've long thought the same thing since i first learned about steroids and Jose Canseco when iwas a teen. though to be fair, 'roids would have had no effect on his frostbite incident (which if he had half a brain, would not have come up).

Tracy Jones has always loved the sound of his own voice.

the pedophile convetion of "Toddlers and Tiaras" and "Here Comes Honey-booboo" wasn't enough to boycot the entire network?

No, but Pete has been known to be untruthful in the past so his credibility isn't real strong.

[corkedbat]

Yeah, and Lindsay Lohan might not be a virgin. Way to out on a limb there Pete!

This story should be used as an excuse for umpires and players to have a gun duel in a parking garage in modern times.

I agree...I am so tired of Pete Rose and his mouth. When he was on the diamond he was and exciting to see...off the field, I even made my grandmother turn off the Bob Braun Show.
