Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 John Rocker Plays Maniac in Movie Sat Feb 23,12:01 PM ET PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - John Rocker will be flinging bodies instead of baseballs when he makes his big-screen debut as a homicidal maniac. The controversial Texas Rangers reliever is playing a slasher-killer in movie called "The Greenskeeper," Rangers spokesman John Blake confirmed Saturday. The film, produced by Atlanta-based Ghost Man on Third Productions, was shot in October in Senoia and other golf courses in Georgia. It follows a 20-year-old assistant greenskeeper who gathers friends for a country club birthday party, according to the movie's Web site. A killer dressed as a greenskeeper and armed with golf course tools crashes the party and disposes of naughty teens. "It's par for the corpse," is the hook line on the Web site. Kevin Greene, one of the film's producers, said they called Rocker after a friend of a friend mentioned he knew the pitcher. Rocker was initially surprised by the offer but became the consummate professional, Greene said, showing up on time and knowing all his lines. "He has a crazy persona and the character needed a wild streak," Greene said. Rocker's remarks on racial, ethnic and sexual minorities in a magazine article led to his suspension for two weeks in 2000. Blake said the Rangers have no problem with Rocker's role in the movie. "I don't think there's a lot of concern," he said. Filmmakers are planning a May premier in Atlanta and are looking for national distributors to avoid the straight-to-video route. Besides Rocker, the Web site lists other stars as Atlanta radio personality Steve Rickman and "Playboy" model Christi Taylor. ___ On the Net: http://www.thegreenskeepermovie.com/ I think this is a bit stupid, but anyway..
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 Oh I'm smelling box-office gold with this one. Personally, I got sick of the Rocker lynching parade when I heard that bitch Linda Cohn (sp?) on SportsCenter call Rocker's infamous remarks, I kid you not, anti-single mom!!! If only we treated athletes who murder their knocked-up girlfriends with the same disdain the world would be a much better place.
Guest KOR420 Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 Maybe the plot will involve him yelling racial slurs to the people he kills,hey it would give him some heat in the movie and make it twice as better when they kill his ass at the end I hate racists!
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 Do you show the same disdain for ex-jocks who kill their former spouses and knocked up girlfriends?

Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted March 1, 2002 Report Posted March 1, 2002 I'll never forget when she said that. She was going on a list of anti- slurs Rocker was guilty of (anti-gay, anti-minority, etc.) and I was doing some busywork at the time. Then I hear anti-single mom and I almost threw my TV out the window. God I hate that bitch. She's the female equal to Craig Kilborn in annoyance.
