Has Alex Rodriguez accepted his fate? A-Rod says his 162-game suspension could be considered "a favor" despite filing a lawsuit against MLB and its players' union in an attempt to overturn it.

"I don't know why he's being so stupid," Bradshaw told Joe & Evan. "But then again, he's stupid. He took that stuff. Why, I have no clue. And he got caught. Say 'I'm sorry' to the world, and you deserve your punishment."
