Jose Canseco, baseball legend, MMA fighter, steroid abuser and, apparently, goat fancier.

The former Oakland A's and Toronto Blue Jays star slugger and his girlfriend were pulled over on Wednesday on their way home from a motel in central Nevada where they bought two fainting goats which the couple intend to dye and keep as pets, Conseco's girlfriend Leila Knight told The Toronto Star.

According to the champ's own recent volley of bizarre tweets, the animals are also the subject of his "upcoming fainting goat adventure documentary." Intriguing.

In a telephone interview with the newspaper, Knight explained: "We bought fainting goats ... because we both love animals and he really wanted to get some goats."

On the topic of the pair's interest in goats and their film project, Knight told the paper, "We've documented the whole thing and I think we have a bunch of people that want to buy it from us," Knight said. "If you're interested, let us know. We have a few contenders."

Oh, and in case you were wondering, the goats were wearing Depends, a popular brand of adult diaper.
