Morning Tweet: A Jose Canseco profanity barrage to start your morning
Feb 15, 2010, 9:00 AM EST
Jose Canseco, diplomat. Is our hero auditioning for the WWE? No, what’s sticking in his craw currently is the fact that MMA’s Strikeforce won’t sign him. I have no idea why; unless it’s because he’s 45, and lost his MMA Dream debut in May, 2009, just 1:17 into the match. Recently Canseco and Herschel Walker have been trading insults; Walker having won his MMA debut on Feb. 13 with a third-round knockout of Greg Nagy. Of that Canseco tweeted: “I may have to show Herschel Walker who the real bad boy of the sports industry is.”
But Canseco’s efforts to set up a fight with Walker through Strikeforce have come up empty so far. And his Twitter followers are giving him the business about it, it seems. Other choice Canseco tweets from Sunday:
