I did say that in my very first line (lol) but isn't the self-obsession also linked to the fact that his word was forever criticized ( & also the MLB stopped him from continuing to play) ? The more he shouted & claimed & wrote,the more people actually disbelieved him ? He reminds me of Cassandra of Troy...but this guy does know the actual "ins & outs" of doping in the game ....;);)

For those not up on their Greek Mythology, the story of Cassandra.

In Greek mythology, Cassandra (Greek: Κασσάνδρα "she who entangles men") (also known as Alexandra) was a daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy whose beauty caused Apollo to grant her the gift of prophecy (or, more correctly, prescience). However, when she did not return his love, Apollo placed a curse on her so that no one would ever believe her predictions.

But I would argue Jose's self obsession dates to WAAAYYYYYY before steroids were even an issue of discussion. I just very quickly grow tired of guys like him and Rickey Henderson and Floyd Mayweather and Terrell Owens and the drunken frat boy one stool over who go on and on endlessly about how amazing they are.
