Gary Sheffield asserts black and white players are treated differently under Yankees manager Joe Torre, says Derek Jeter "ain't all the way black," and denies he ever has used steroids because "steroids is something you shoot in your butt" in an eye-opening interview with Andrea Kremer for the next edition of HBO's "Real Sports," debuting at 10 p.m. Tuesday night.
In a copy of the interview made available to Newsday late Friday morning, Sheffield begins by saying, "I tell myself every offseason I'm not going to say anything crazy. I'm just going to have a peaceful season . . . Can't do it. I'm cut from a different cloth."

It’s a shame really - when he came up he had all the talent in the world. Unfortunately, he also has knack for pissing people off and ruining any clubhouse of which he has been a member. Sure he produces, but teams get tired of the ‘tude....

Even though I can’t stand Bryant Gumbel, “RealSports” is consistently one of the best shows on TV.

Memo to Gary Sheffield: seek an endorsement contract with Makita, because you have been a power tool for many years.
