Did anyone see the E60 interview that prompted Tejada to come forward? This crap about "I had a heavy weight on my shoulders" was just that, crap. The interview is airing in the next week, so he took the air out of the balloon by coming forward now. But the interview is the classic setup - I'm not sure what it was specifically for (I can't believe he'd get too much into the steroids/Congressional investigation thing), but the dude asks him his age, what year he was born, and then pulls out a copy of his birth certificate and starts in on him. Tejada practically starts undressing to find the mic so he can get the hell out of there.

I don't know... in the context of litigation, when crap like that happens, it's pretty interesting (assuming there's some relation to the issue at hand). When a reporter does it under the guise of discussing something else, it comes across as pretty crappy. But that's probably because of my perspective.
