1. Garvey is and always has been a hypocritical idiot. |
|
Putting on the "Mr. Clean" persona, but living the life of a self-indulgent, wife swapping, illegitimate child leaving, freep. I hope he never ends up in Cooperstown.

3. I never could stand Garvey. |
|
I had an experience involving his ex-wife Cyndi. I was using a contractor she was using. He told me that she was a complete asshole.

5. Hey wasn't Garvey going to run for office as a Republican? |
|
Man, he's a qualified Republican candidate.
Philandering, debt, hypocricy.

7. Although I am a Dodgers fan |
|
I have NEVER liked Garvey. He was always a phony. Even when I was a kid during his peak years (including the '81 Series), he always rubbed me the wrong way.
This article confirms it. Makes me ill. Obviously a Republican asswipe. I hope he ends up in jail.

8. I've worked with many, many pro athletes and this is all too common. |
|
They have everything taken care of for them from high school on and when they finally hit the real world, they have no idea how to manage their money.
I know many player who regularly have their power, cable, etc turned off due to non-payment.
In addition, they spend recklessly like they will be making that kind of money for the rest of their lives.
Sad.
