Jeff Pearlman, the reporter who wrote that famous profile of John Rocker in Sports Illustrated in 1999, when he quoted Rocker as saying all sorts of salty, un-PC things about various races and nationalities, has come out swinging on ESPN.com, after Rocker gave an interview in he slandered Pearlman as a "liberal New York Jew." He is all of those things, but I think Jeff's beef was with Rocker's tone.
I won't say any more, because at this point, there's really no discernable reason for John Rocker to ever be in the news again.
