There was some BS about Anthony Roberts and I wanted to post the truth here about it..
This is from his blog today ...
The “full outing” of…me? Think again…
Apparently some guy calling himself “Mongolian-something-or-other” has called the school I work(ed) at, and had me fired or whatever. I think he also claimed some other stuff on some different forums…I didn’t really bother reading much of it since most replies to it were basically calling the dude a tool.
But regarding the school that I lost my coaching position at…I was the most successful coach there, bringing my team to 3 championship games in 4 years, winning 2 of them. But hey, that’s alright…When I received this news (”You’re fired!”), I was here in Houston, visiting the owner of steroid.com. Frankly, with my numerous accomplishments in the field, I’m shocked that the school didn’t know about this earlier.
Oh yeah…and I guess this “mongolian” dude also thinks that the kids I coach were on steroids (huh?), and has called a senator (uhh…alright…?) and the head of the collegiate union the team plays in (ok…?)…and I think this guy (for whatever reason) thinks he’s done something that’s going to hurt me or has hurt me. In the end, though…he did have me fired from the school I was working at. However…
Here’s a ****ing huge dose of reality:
It’s totally true that while I was here in Houston I was phoned and told that my coaching position was gone. But coincidentally, about a year ago while I was also in Houston, the owner of steroid.com had offered me a full time position within the company (yes, working for steroid.com full time) …I couldn’t accept that position due to my coaching obligations.
But now, the timing couldn’t be more perfect, and I was lucky enough to have this offer put back on the table again. I had two gym bags full of clothing, a laptop, and a one-way-ticket to Houston TX when I arrived earlier this week.
Now I have a company car, a fully furnished (!) 2bath/2bedroom company apartment (now…where should I put that second flatscreen plasma TV?) , a salaried position, and a nice big desk located in the corner office on the 6th floor of the building we’re located in.
The only problem with this new apartment is that I need to figure out what kind of furniture to put on the balcony, and what time the pool and weight -room (located on site) opens up. I suppose I’ll overcome those hurdles soon enough though. And I need to remember how to get around in this damn state…it’s huge!
So I’m now consequently able to pursue my career and my love of researching and writing about performance and performance enhancement under the auspices of steroid.com, a multi-million dollar company with huge growth potential. That’s right everyone…I’m now employed by steroid.com as a full time researcher/writer/etc.
Thanks for “outing” me, dude. I hope it worked out exactly how you thought it would…because it worked out beyond my wildest dreams for me.
