Yes, Pete Rose bet on baseball and lied about it for decades. But today is not the time to focus on that. Today is the time to focus on the fact that when he was 34 and married with two kids he committed statutory rape with one girl and allegedly many others and then lied about *that*.

Watched MARS ATTACKS, Tim Burton’s final defensible film, with my kid today. Not as good as I remembered, but much better than its reputation.
