According to Deadspin.com, Jay McGwire, brother of controversial former baseball player Mark McGwire, has been busy pitching a book to publishers about how introduced the slugger to steroids and even injected Mark himself.

“Mark is a man I think most would like to forgive because his reason wasn’t nefarious - it was for survival,” Jay’s proposal says (read the rest here). “My bringing the truth to surface about Mark is out of love. I want Mark to live in truth to see the light, to come to repentance so he can live in freedom - which is the only way to live.”

First off, no shit he did steroids. We got it. Look at the pictures. Pleading the fifth in court doesn’t help you, either.

Secondly, this is directed more to my own brother, Steve:
Steve, you and I can both agree that we are probably closer than most brothers are. You and I both know we’ve been through a lot together, maybe even more so than most people do growing up. I love you. Hell, I even shed a tear while standing next to you at your wedding.

But, if I happen to become hugely successful at something I love and then you write a book that outlines how I cheated at accomplishing that success, I will fucking kill you. I’m just saying.
