Talk about timing!Some players have reacted to the Mitchell Report in different ways. Roger Clemens got real pissed off and denied everything. David Segui admitted his guilt but instead chose to use his time defending a friend. Andy Pettite came clean and asked us for our forgiveness.
All incredibly lame ideas. This is America, where no press is bad press, so you may as well use this time in the spotlight to earn a few extra dollars. Lenny Dykstra hasn't heard his name mentioned in the national media in years, and now that his name is out there again, he knows it's time to take advantage of the spotlight.
That's why he's announcing the release of his new magazine,
Mr. Dykstra, a star outfielder for the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies in the 1980s and 1990s, has teamed up with Doubledown Media to produce The Players Club, a magazine aimed at helping players manage their millions.This actually isn't a bad idea considering a lot of athletes have absolutely no idea how to handle their money. Of course, I still like my idea for Dykstra's magazine a bit better.
The idea behind the magazine is this: professional athletes are often scorned for their out-size contracts and lifestyles. But once their playing days are over, more than a few of them have trouble finding new jobs, struggle to keep their families together and find that they have spent their savings.
