The fun never stops:

John Rocker, the former Atlanta Brave who's hardly the voice of discretion, has come out in defense of Rush Limbaugh.

"All I will say, is people need [to] stop being so sensitive," Rocker said while appearing on Sporting News Radio's Peter Brown Show this week. "(Rush) wasn't trying to physically hurt or mentally hurt Donovan McNabb. I mean, he just wasn't doing it. I know Donovan is probably a little upset by it, but that certainly wasn't [Rush's] his intent. He has been a journalist and newsman long enough to know better than to intentionally, blatantly make a comment like that to intentionally offend somebody."...

Yes, that John Rocker. In case you've forgotten the Sports Illustrated cover story on him, the good folks at Time Warner still archive it:

* On ever playing for a New York team: "I would retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the [Number] 7 train to the ballpark, looking like you're [riding through] Beirut next to some kid with purple hair next to some queer with AIDS right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing."

* On New York City itself: "The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. I'm not a very big fan of foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?"

You're with your own kind now, Rush.
