Just one year ago, Jose tweeted about alien contact and time travel. This week, he again tweeted about alien contact, threw in Bigfoot, and expressed concern one or both having the coronavirus. Is he admitting they gave it to him or that he gave it to them? Is any of this true or even possible – including aliens or Bigfoot having the coronavirus? In 2019, after announcing that he’d had contact with aliens, Canseco and Morgan Strelow at Morgan Management announced that five lucky people with $5,000 to waste (ah, those were the days) could “Go on a Bigfoot and...

Former MLB star Jose Canseco says he will show his support for Caitlyn Jenner, the former Olympic decathalon gold medalist Bruce Jenner, by living as a woman for one week. “I can't say exactly how it's going to be done yet," the slugger told the New York Daily News. "It will be done for about a week — it will be on my Internet show called, ‘Spend a Day With Jose.'"

Misfortune continues to deal hard-luck former slugger Jose Canseco a bad hand. Canseco said on Twitter Friday night that he was playing cards at poker tournament in Las Vegas Friday when his badly injured middle finger on his left hand fell off. The confessed steroid cheat accidentally shot himself in the hand last month while cleaning his gun at home. Doctors attempted to save it, apparently without success.

The hard-fought race in the 23rd district may have ended with Democratic candidate Pete Gallego winning by 9,222 votes, but incumbent Rep. Francisco “Quico” Canseco has still not conceded. The race, which has been called by various news organizations, is the closest congressional race this year in Texas. Canseco’s campaign cites voting irregularities, particularly in Maverick County, where they allege election officials double- and triple-counted some ballots, and in Zavala County, where the campaign said it had witnesses that saw Gallego ballots being photocopied. Scott Yeldell, Canseco’s campaign manager, had previously said the large number of military and absentee votes...

A TSA agent grabbed the genitals of Texas Republican Congressman Canseco at a San Antonio Airport. The Congressman reacted instinctively to protect his private parts and the Congressman pushed down the hand of the TSA agent. Now the TSA agent is crying and saying the Congressman assaulted him. Are you serious? Is this even America? No charges were filed but the TSA agent should be the one getting charged for assault. Touching someone's genitals does NOTHING to keep airlines secure. There is a limit to what should be given up in order to be safe and these pat downs go too far. These searches and...

U.S. Rep. Francisco Canseco said he was assaulted by a TSA agent at the San Antonio International Airport. The Texas Congressman said the security agent went too far during a pat-down earlier this month. "The agent was very aggressive in his pat-down, and he was patting me down where no one is supposed to go,” said Canseco. “It got very uncomfortable so I moved his hand away. That stopped everything and brought in supervisors and everyone else." Canseco told the KENS 5 I-Team the agent said he too was assaulted when Canseco pushed his hand away. According to TSA, neither...

Internal Poll Finds Canseco Leading Rodriguez In Texas By Tricia Miller | August 23, 2010 7:05 AM | Permalink | Comments (1) A new poll taken for his campaign shows Republican businessman Quico Canseco holding his own against Rep. Ciro Rodriguez in west Texas' 23rd district. The OnMessage poll of 400 likely voters showed Canseco with 43 percent to Rodriguez' 37 percent. Conducted Aug. 15-16, the poll had a margin of error of 4.9 points. For Canseco's campaign it was an improvement over the results of a similar OnMessage poll from mid-May when the two candidates were both within the...

WASHINGTON — A San Antonio congressman apologized Tuesday for his outburst at a woman attending a San Antonio town hall meeting last week that was videotaped and later broadcast on conservative websites. Rep. Ciro Rodriguez, D-San Antonio, blamed the incident on the campaign tactics of his Republican challenger, Francisco “Quico” Canseco, but apologized for “losing my temper.” In a written statement, Rodriguez said the Canseco campaign attempted to “hijack a ‘Congress on Your Corner' event merely to engage in uncivil, cynical videotape baiting tactics.” “The people of Southwest Texas deserve better than that,” Rodriguez said. Canseco, in a statement, said...

While Will Hurd is a good guy, this is not his fight. Thankfully, Quico Canseco not only has the work experience needed to bring jobs and prosperity to CD23, but he also has the surname that many Hispanics are looking for. Hispanics are a proud people, and considering that only about 4 percent of elected officials are Hispanic nationwide, it is a real task for us to vote against an incumbent Hispanic, even though we are natural conservatives who are just waiting for the Republican Party to accept us and our values with open arms.

NEW YORK — Jose Canseco plans to file a class-action lawsuit against Major League Baseball and the players’ association, saying he’s been ostracized for going public with tales of steroids use in the sport. Canseco said Wednesday that he has discussed the suit with lawyers and intends to enlist Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro to join in the suit. Canseco said the basis of the suit would be “lost wages—in some cases, defamation of character.” “Because I used steroids and I came out with a book, I was kicked out of the game, but I have not been inducted into...

Jose Canseco was held for nearly 10 hours by immigration authorities after agents said they stopped the former baseball star as he attempted to bring a fertility drug from Mexico, his lawyer said Friday. Canceco was detained at San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing Thursday after agents searched his vehicle and said they found human chorionic gonadotropin, which is illegal without a prescription, said his attorney, Gregory Emerson. Emerson declined to say if Canseco — who admitted to using steroids in a 2005 book that also alleged steroid use by other baseball players — had the drug, which is banned...

Jose Canseco may be known for — among other things — knocking balls out of the park. But Saturday, he couldn't help but be a victim of a knockout of a different kind. The 6-foot-4 ex-slugger was KO'd by former Philadelphia Eagles kick returner, 5-foot-9 Vai Sikahema, in the first round of their celebrity boxing match in Atlantic City, according to a report by the Press of Atlantic City.

So future Hall of Famer Rafael Palmeiro is guilty of steroids abuse after all. Steroids? Palmeiro? Who could have possibly imagined that? You may recall that Palmeiro became indignant when career knucklehead Jose Canseco implicated him with his tell-all book. He insisted he never juiced up. He positioned himself as an anti-steroids zealot. While Mark McGwire was damning himself with those mish-mash answers before Congress, Palmeiro was emphatic in his testimony on Capitol Hill. ... While the hapless McGwire came off like a fool, Palmeiro presented himself as a hero. But a lot of us never bought into his act....

The Government Reform Committee of the US House stepped up to the plate yesterday and held a day-long hearing on the issue of steroid use in American sports. There were four panels including the parents of two high school athletes who took steroids and then committed suicide in the aftermath of their drug use. The meat of the order, though, was the three current and two former major league players including Jose Conseco - who has written an autobiography naming several other panel members as steroid users; as well as Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmiero, and Curt Schilling. I'm...

The congressional hearings on steroids have the potential to be one of the most important events in baseball's long history. More important than any lockout or union strike. More important than the 1980s' epidemic of cokehead players. You might have to go all the way back to the Black Sox scandal to find an event of equal meaning. The reason is simple: The use of steroids, like the fixing of the 1919 World Series, goes directly to the integrity of baseball. Any time there is doubt about the final results, about wins and losses, batting averages and home runs, every...

Jose Canseco is ready to put his money where he mouth is, but you may have to pay to see it. Appearing on ESPN2's "Cold Pizza" yesterday, Canseco said he is trying to set up a Pay-Per-View event where he will take a lie detector test to prove the claims in his book "Juiced" are true. "Something is being constructed right now," he said on the show. "We are going to set up some type of polygraph examination." As for the Mike Greenwell controversy, Canseco said the former Red Sox - who complained last week that he was more deserving...

Former MVP Runner-Up Wants Canseco's Award 1 hour, 35 minutes ago RALEIGH, North Carolina (Reuters) - The man who finished second to Jose Canseco in voting for the 1988 American League most valuable player award says he should have the award now that Canseco is talking publicly about his steroid use. "Where's my MVP?" former Boston Red Sox (news) outfielder Mike Greenwell told the Fort Myers, Florida, News-Press. "(Canseco's) an admitted steroid user. I was clean." Canseco, in his book, "Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big," and in interviews with CBS's "60 Minutes" news...

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Former baseball slugger Jose Canseco claimed that both Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire took steroids during their famed home-run chase in 1998 during an exclusive interview with Kevin Kennedy, who managed Canseco while he was a Texas Ranger, on the first day of broadcasting for XM Satellite Radio's MLB Home Plate channel (XM Channel 175). In a separate interview on MLB Home Plate, baseball veteran Pete Rose criticized Canseco for his accusations of steroid use among former teammates, saying, "No one needs the money that bad to capitalize on your teammates." An encore broadcast of...

Did Mike Wallace say that more on the Canseco book was going to be broadcast this Wednesdy? I hope so. Many things may develop in 3 days.
