I am allowed to have an opinion on Rose whether I personally know him or not. Dowd definitely knows him. My opinion is that he is a scumbag. It pleases me that he will never be in the HOF while he draws a breath.
You got a problem with my opinion?
That opinion is shared by a lot of people too, so yeah, I don't think it's a stretch to call him a scumbag. This was evident long before yesterday's revelation.
