Former Major League Baseball star Jose Canseco says Bigfoot is 100% real and that we have “some type of agreement with aliens.” However, he firmly believes that sports teams tanking is fake.
Of course, this is the same guy who once told a baffling lie about his finger falling off at a poker tournament and claimed that he met an alien ghost that talked to him. So, take anything he says with a rather large grain of salt.
Jose Canseco made his conspiracy theory claims recently to the All The Smoke podcast as part of an interview in which he also talked about dating Madonna, how he was faster than all-time MLB stolen base leaser Rickey Henderson, discussed whether umpires in past eras fixed games, and how he hated playing for the New York Yankees.
On a scale from 1 being not real at all to 10 being 100% real, Jose Canseco ranked the following…
Bigfoot: “10. I truly believe there’s some species out there unknown to man,” Canseco responded, “that the government is hiding that we know nothing about.”
The Moon Landing: “I would say five,” he replied. “I don’t know much about that science area, moon landing and outer space, so I’ll say five.”
The Earth Being Flat: “No, it can’t be flat,” he said with a laugh. “Just gravity keeps everything together.”
Pro Sports Teams Tanking: “That’s impossible,” Canseco said. “There’s no such thing.”
Celebrity Body Doubles: “I would say some do for security reasons,” he replied, “that can walk around or distract other people. Yes.”
The Loch Ness Monster: “It does not.”
Area 51 is Hiding Something: “It is not now, but it was in the past. Yes, 100%,” he said.
Atlantis: “It was real at one point,” he replied. “Not today.”
Aliens Have Visited Earth: “100% times infinity,” Jose Canseco claimed. “As a matter of fact, I believe we have some type of agreements with aliens.”
Pro Sports is Scripted: “That’s impossible. There’s no way something physical that happens so fast it can be scripted,” he said.
So there you have it. Bigfoot and aliens: real. Pro sports tanking and being scripted: fake.
