Detroit Tigers Pitcher I Contracted Zika Virus ... It Sucked

Published | Updated

Forget the Olympics, the Zika virus has already infiltrated MLB -- with Detroit Tigers pitcher Francisco Rodriguez saying he contracted the virus in Venezuela during the offseason.

The 34-year-old revealed his health status to ESPN -- saying his symptoms started off almost like a common cold ... but quickly escalated.

"It wasn't a cold. A cold, you have a sneeze, have a headache, take a couple Tylenol and you're done. You don't have a cold for two weeks, you don't have a bodyache for two weeks, you don't have headaches, throwing up, weaknesses for two weeks."

Rodriguez says he was bedridden for 2 weeks while he fought off the mosquito-borne virus -- which some experts say can cause severe birth defects and neurological issues in adults.

He also says it took him roughly 2 months before he started to feel normal again -- and notes that he was never considered contagious.

As for Olympic athletes worried about catching Zika in Brazil -- Rodriguez says the concern is real.

"If they have plans to have kids in the future, you've got to think about it. You have to be aware of that as well. You have to do some homework, some research about it."

Luda was also paid $65k for a 15 minute performance.

Miesha Tate Ronda's Emotionally Unstable

Published | Updated

Miesha Tate says Ronda Rousey is "somewhat emotionally unstable" -- and says it explains why the UFC legend went off on Paige VanZant at a party last month.

Tate appeared on Rush Fight Club on SiriusXM -- and went off about the issue when asked about the April encounter, when Rousey cussed out PVZ for congratulating Holly Holm after UFC 193.

"I think Ronda is somewhat emotionally unstable and I think that's been characteristic for a long time," Tate said.

"Doesn't mean she fights any worse for it. I'm not knocking her as an athlete but emotionally she's just got some things that are a little bit strange and I think that that was one of them."

Tate says the incident brought her even closer with VanZant -- despite the fact Tate says she would've handled the encounter in a much different way.

"This is why I feel like I identify with Paige more. She's so kind and when this whole thing happened she was like, 'We're emotional beings and hopefully I can make it right with Ronda,' and she's still such a sweetheart but I'm not that way."

"When Ronda does things like that to me I'm just like, 'No, eff you.' I'm not gonna bow down and not say how I feel."
