But is he sincere? He's done this act before - owned up, made his public apology, went to counselling, begged forgiveness...
"I think Milton Bradley has made a huge step today, accepting the fact that he can reach his potential as a human being by seeking help," McCourt said. "Milton came to the conclusion on his own. It's a courageous decision and I support it wholeheartedly."
That was 2004 and what - four or five organizations ago?
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. It's one thing for him to man up and say that he accepts responsibility for his own behavior. It's quite another thing for him to actually do it and alter his behavior.
We've all known guys like this. They get caught cheating on their wife, they get all teary eyed and beg for forgiveness. They tell the family how miserable they are and how much they want to change. And one month later the same guy is in the same bar, hitting on the woman with the cosmo and bragging about it to his buddies.
I'm over Milton Bradley. He only acts like this when he's caught with his pants down and he's backed himself into a corner. When he knows that he's in trouble, he is contrite and humble. When he feels comfortable and secure, he's "the Kanye West of Baseball" and "isn't going to change for anyone".
Milton Bradley isn't mentally ill - he's a con man.
