I grew up in Cincinnati as a Pete Rose fan, and every single time he says anything to anyone, two things happen: (1) Somebody puts it in the news; and (2) I smack my forehead and say, "Just don't talk, Pete. You're making it worse."

He was a great player, a fairly good manager, sure, but for the love of Mike, shut the eff up, Pete. Really.

Um, a guy who lied for years until he could sell a book telling the truth is an altar boy now?

Something tells me Charlie Hustle "amped" up in his day, so as the commenter above notes, STFU, Pete.

""I've been suspended 18 years for betting on my own team to win," he added. "I was wrong...""

I absolutely LOVE this quote. How someone was banned from a sport for betting his team would win is ridiculous and I am glad he is taking the time to put his spin on it.
