Oh this should be goooood. Talk about Family Fued:
"Jay McGwire idolized his older brothers, became hooked on steroids, crashed, found God, and now wants to share his story with the world. He also claims he introduced the fallen home run hero to 'roids.
"THE MCGWIRE FAMILY SECRET:The Truth about Steroids, a Slugger, and Ultimate Redemption" has been hitting the desks of the big publishing houses this week (and turned down by many) even though it may prove once and for all that, yes, America, Mark McGwire was pumped full of Deca-Durabolin when he hit 403 homers in seven years."
Get ready America...if you thought the Home Run chase was captivating wait til we see Big Mac and his not so little brother publicly sparring. :up:

Shall we call this Family Feud? Or The Price is Right? Either way this could be next up on Springer. Jay McGwire may the least financially successful McGwire brother until this book hits stores. Then hes sure to pass by former Seahawk Dan McGwire in earnings :lol:

I agree. but its a ****ing shame how the world is now a days with your own brother snitching you out for a few bucks.Big E likes this. -
There were a ****-ton of guys on Steroids in the late 80's, 90's and 00's (including pitchers) McGwire, Bonds and Clemens just happaned to be the 3 best.
I say let everyone take anything they want. I wanna see a guy hit 100 homers in a season. I wanna see a guy run a 2 minute mile. I wanna see guy kick an 80 yard FG.Finfangirl, Big E, Samphin and 1 other person like this. -

This is a perfect summary of why baesball is an inferior sport to football: the stuff that happens off the field is more exciting than the stuff that happens on it.

And the NFL has it's share of off the field stuff like Spygate, Cheddar Plax shooting himself, anytime Pacman Jones goes to a strip club, etc.
Every sport has it's moments. -

Guys, you've got it all wrong. He's outing his brother because he loves him.

Makes you kind of see just how messed up a family can be:
One brother did roids, broke a few records, got caught, went speechless in front of congress and went incognito ever since.
One brother stunk as a QB, and fell off the face of the earth.
One brother was a nothing, did some roids, became something, realized how messed up he was, found religion, then outed his brother.

Samphin Κακό σκυλί ψόφο δεν έχει
Please pay attention Felix. The guy used the Cream and the Clear. Both have been tested and confirmed to be steroids. The man will be on trial soon aabout whether or not he lied to the court's about his usage. The guy is guilty as sin.
Oh and by the way, for everyone who thinks that Hank Aaron was clean while he played, I have some swamp land to sell ya. He was as crooked as the rest of them, but worse. Why? Because he was one of the only ones doing it when he cheated.
At least when McGqire was cheating, so was Canseco, Ripken, Brady Anderson, Sosa, Bonds, Dante Bichette, David Justice, and all the other sluggers from that era. As well as the pitchers. -

That is why Ken Griffey Jr is the greatest HR hitter and maybe player of our era.
Could you imagine if that fat lazy turd wouldve juiced!!! Wow! -

Maybe he SHOULD have used, he could be sitting on about 200 more homeruns right now. -
Worse? Amphetamines were not only legal, it was LEGAL in baseball up to a few years ago. thats right, not like steriods where it wasnt legal, just not "banned", Amphetamines were LEGAL and used by most players just up to a few years ago.
theres a HUGE difference.
it doesnt matter if Hank was the only player on something legal, hes just as crooked if not more? thats insane.unluckyluciano likes this. -
Everyone knows he wasnt the hardest worker off the field, but Griffey gave everything he had on it, so you could hardly call him lazy.
....using greenies would not have gotten him "ahead" thats ridiculous. And im 100% sure he used greenies, just like most other ball players dating back for decades.
and no he shouldnt of used roids, who cares about 200 more HRs if its phony. look what McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, etc. has been going through. Thankg god he DIDNT use and he is going to leave the game with some dignity and respect for not only the game, but himself.
because he didnt use, he will be talked about as one of the greatest of all time, unlike bonds and the rest of them.Rocky Raccoon likes this. -
Does anyone believe that 300 lb + guys are common and not on "stuff" ? I don't, and I believe the NFL may be the dirtiest of all the sports, but the money involved keeps it all hidden in a dirty, messy closet.
By the way, this guy is just hawking his book. It hasn't been sold to a publisher just yet, and may never be. Remember José Canseco couldn't sell his 2nd book to a publisher and its never been seen. -
By the way, the article says Jay McGwire became a 320 lb PROFESSIONAL bodybuilder.
Huh ? :confused: I follow the sport of bodybuilding closely and know all of the IFBB and WABBA Pro's and I have never, ever heard of the brother.And trust me if he was 320 lbs on stage at 6ft 3, I would have heard of him.
I call BS on that part of the story.....he was maybe, JUST maybe a high-level NPC national level guy, but he never once participated in an IFBB show, or WABBA show that I know of. -
