Carl Everett is one of those people that takes what he has for granted. Whats more to have today? ofcourse fans, they support you and cheer on for you. Then he comes out like this? direspecting those who supported him. Carl Everett if you had no fans you'd be broke son! Now I'm not with gay people, but I don't discriminate them either. Thats there choice, they lifestyle, so its none of my business or Carl's how they live there life. Its supposted to be a free country, but govt. changes things, and really just for their convenience and no one else. Changing topics, what does steriods have to do with war?!?!?! hello!!! how old are you?? Carl you act like a total fucken kid. "yeah i don't want to take a steriod test, cuz my family is in war" what the fuck!!!! hahaha, for one that says your are on them, cuz you have no clue what you talk about, and what about dinosaurs? what do they have to do with baseball, dude you got some loose screws, someone attha screw them tite!!
OK, here we go kids, first off MANNSTAH, if you read read the article, it was not about steroids or use there of. What he stated was we lose more youths to war than to steroid abuse, so the government needs to do more with there time! And as far as fans are concerned, can any one tell me the definition of the word fickle? Does every asshole that runs out on to a ball field represent a fan? What must a FAN do to be a fan? Or not do? Your'e the one with the loose "screw".
I would never have felt any differently about Carl than any of you had I not witnessed how genuninely sweet he was to a couple of young fans before a game earlier this year. My impression of him was as a complete and total lunkhead, and granted, some of his words in Maxim I completely agree with (steroids/war) and completely disagree with (uh, using the Bible as your frame of reference for 2005). But I have to say, for all his reputation as a hothead caveman jackass, he completely stupified me in his five minutes spent pregame with an honororary team batboy and friend. While other White Sox went through the motions of a photo op and basic chatter, Carl was horsing around, trying to make a very shy kid open up, joking, talking with his parents. It went totally against how he's cast. Perhaps it was a full moon. I'm not defending or condemming him, but I will say that the minute you think you have someone pegged, he does a 180 on you. Maybe there's hope for Carl yet. Perhaps when he retires he'll let his face grow long, and start up a House of David traveling team.
Brett, as a Sox fan I've heard similar stories. Shea Hillenbrand was a rookie when Carl took him clothes shopping so he didn't look like a rube walking around major league cities and I don't think Shea every forgot. I just can't get past how crazy Carl is.
I think Brett's story illustrates the difference between the personal and the public. For the most part, the general public only sees the public side of celebrities and as in this instance that difference shows that a lot of people are pretty small minded. Everett ought to realize that these good things he does in one on one and similar situations are what he ought to do all the time. Instead of posturing and playing to some inner image.
