So, idunno how many people have seen this already, probably anyone who has any awareness of sports at all, but for anyone else, Jay McGwire, the completely unknown brother of Mark McGwire is now coming out of the woodwork to try to write a book selling out Mark McGwire for his steroid usage. I see several things wrong with this, first of all, obviously Mark McGwire did steroids, it's pretty clear that he's ok with this, although he's never admitted it, he doesn't seem to really give a fuck what anyone else thinks about him, which i think is admirable. Additionally, brother, Jay McGwire, claims that he's doing this "in love for his brother", and also claims that he himself was a former steroid user but has now seen God and is trying to shed some God upon Mark. This is absolute bullshit, how is selling out his brother who doesn't care about baseball at all anymore and appears to have no interest in stuff such as getting into the hall of fame or his reputation at all, he's basically a recluse at this point but i digress, how would Jay selling out his brother in any way be a good thing in any other way than the money he's going to get from his potential book deal. The whole thing is completely retarded, and this dude is pretty clearly just an asshole trying to sell out his brother for money.
