What do Jose Canseco and the goal posts at the "Vet" have in common?





He's a, "Broad Street Bully" in action! He's not going to take no lip from some jive turkey. Jose Conseco certainly falls into the category of jive turkey, and Saturday night at the "War at the Shore" Sikahema took it the big-mouthed Canseco A-La a young "Iron Mike Tyson." Sikahema donated the purse to the family of Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski, a Philadelphia police officer who was killed in the line of duty. Vai Sikahema is Philly guy to the bone. Former Eagle, Local Sports Journalist, and local philanthropist! You have to love this guy.
Here are some quotes from the fight:
Champ (Sikahema): "He came out here in first-class, (and is) flying home coach. That's how we roll in Philly." Great line if you ask me. It reminds me of something Ali would say after beating Frazier, Foreman, or Liston.
Champ: "It doesn't matter how big you are. You can come in here with a salon tan and bleached teeth and all that, and it doesn't matter," said Sikahema. "If you don't respect the game, come in here and train for it like a warrior, you're going to get chopped down."
Chump (Canseco): Admitting that he didn't train for the fight Canseco had the following to say: "I have to train first," he said. "The rematch ain't going to be in a month."
Wait a second Jose, I want to get this right. You want to train to get knocked out??? I was unaware that training was needed for that.... Somebody get this guy a PR rep.
Champ: "Who's going to buy tickets to a rematch?" he said. "I knocked him out in one round. Do you think people are going to spend money to come see him get knocked out in a minute or round two?"
I think that there are plenty of guys in Major league Baseball that would give a paycheck to the idea!!
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Was this a feel good story? it was for me.

Here are some pictures to go along with the story.

Do yourself a favor....










I am not a lawyer, nor do I pretend to be anything of the sort. However, I would like to impart a nugget of legal advice to Mr. Brian McNamee..... Stick to your story! According to the deposition Brian McNamee gave during the Mitchell Report, he injected Roger Clemens with steroids and HGH approximately 16 - 21 times from 1998 - 2001. Then McNamee claims that he injected Roger's wife with steroids at his request. Then he has photos of used syringes, and empty beer cans that have Clemens' DNA. Today, Wednesday February 13, 2008 he claims that he actually administered steroids and HGH more than he originally reported. Roger Clemens doesn't need a team of lawyers to defend himself, and his wife. He's got Brian McNamee!

Brian McNamee seems to be a discrediting himself the longer this plays out. If you want people to believe what you say, your story should have consistency. Brian McNamee's story consistently changes. You gave deposition for the Mitchell Report. Why didn't you just give all of this stuff up then? why now?

I really don't see how implicating steroid use by Roger's wife is going to add credibility to his story. It makes you look like an idiot, and people are more inclined to discredit an idiot. As it stands that is speculation, and does nothing to corroborate your allegations that Roger Clemens used steroids.

Then there are the pictures of beer cans, and used needles. Why did you present pictures? Why not the actual syringes, and beer cans? Once again, you open your mouth . You kept the paraphernalia in case Roger Clemens were ever to deny using performance enhancing drugs. If you hadn't said anything, and turned over the evidence for testing this could be over an done with.

Then, before congress this morning you say, "I injected Clemens even more often". It doesn't take a genius to realize that you have now lied under oath. Either you lied to congress today or to George Mitchell.

Your defense team should have advised you to shut up. That is the best piece of legal advice that they could have given you.
