Leave it to John Rocker to come out in defense of Rush Limbaugh.
"All I will say, is people need stop being so sensitive," Rocker said while appearing on Sporting News Radio's Peter Brown Show. "(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."

In comments that led to his resignation from ESPN on Wednesday, Limbaugh said the Eagles' McNabb was overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed.

Rocker, the former Braves closer, has been in and out of baseball since a Sports Illustrated article in which he disparaged gays, New Yorkers, minorities, foreigners and others.

Well, by god, I was on the fence, but if it's ok with John Rocker, well then.

2. what pills is he poppin'?
Rocker isn't even a major league pitcher anymore, just a 1 year wonder that caused a stir. He's already dead and buried, yesterdays news.
