Dude's wikipedia is Bushes status:
In 2002, while with the Rangers, Rocker again made national headlines for his views after directing slurs towards patrons of a Dallas restaurant at which he was dining, located in the heavily
LGBT-populated neighborhood of
Oak Lawn.
[14][15]
In June 2006, Rocker defended former teammate
Ozzie Guillén, at the time the manager of the
Chicago White Sox, for referring to
Chicago Sun-Times sports columnist
Jay Mariotti as a "faq". Guillen, a native of
Venezuela, claimed it was not a derogatory term and that, in Venezuela, the term only questions another man's courage rather than his sexual orientation.
"This is a free country. If he wants to use a lewd term, he should be able to use a lewd term," Rocker told the
Chicago Tribune. "Can't you use a lewd term in America if you want?" Referring to
sensitivity training, he was quoted as saying: "It was a farce, a way for the scared little man,
Bud Selig, to get people off his ass." Rocker stated that when he attended mandatory sensitivity training he would seldom remain longer than 15 minutes. He also claimed he never paid the $500 fine that was levied against him.

In late 2006, Rocker was interviewed by the sports blog
Deadspin, along with fitness model and then-girlfriend Alicia Marie. In the interview, Rocker discussed his "Speak English" campaign, as well as his upcoming book,
Rocker: Scars & Strikes. Rocker stated that the book would not be used to try to repair his reputation, but would rather be "more
conservative Republican rantings". Also during the interview, Rocker lambasted
John Schuerholz, his former general manager with the Braves, calling him "a piece of shyt".

On
Survivor, during an argument with fellow castaway
Natalie Anderson, Rocker told her, "If you were a man, I'd knock your teeth out."

Steroid use[edit]
In March 2007, Rocker was implicated in a steroid ring that included Applied Pharmacy of
Mobile, Alabama.
[19] In December 2011, he admitted to using steroids, saying "Yeah, of course I was [using steroids]. I mean who wasn't? Let’s be honest here, who wasn't?"
[20] In December 2007, he was mentioned in the
Mitchell Report.
