Hopefully the cerner guys dont..random question but did you see the open letter to david glass to sell the team? Pretty well written.

I did read it and wish he would sell to a local ownership group.

All I am saying is, if anyone who comes out in support of Lance Armstrong cannot therefore be in favor of keeping out suspected steroid users from places like the Baseball HOF.

I'm not in favor of keeping out HOF players. They should ban Bud Selig. He was in charge when all hat shit went down. IF you never "tested" positive then you didn't get caught.. End of story.

people love to get themselves in an uproar over pointless shit.

SFThis. Sports are supposed to be entertainment, right? And athletes are supposed to be singleminded freaks who care about nothing but being the best? Well, steroids/HGH/testosterone help you be the best.

I guarantee people who get into uproars about doping are the same people who dog LeBron because he doesn't have "killer instinct" or whatever. Sports fans are the fucking worst.

i'm not saying he's on roids...the real reason he's hitting more HRs this year is because his HR/FB% is at 21.7%--which is so absurdly high i don't even know how to describe it.

however, my point wasn't even about that...my point is that i feel it's a completely valid question to ask given all the information we now know about the past few decades. his power is up at age 38 and he's played with 10 "known" users (or whatever the number is)...why wouldn't it be a valid question?

who needs to walk when you can hit the ball? i realize his walks are down, but his hits are up. so.... whatever? he's leading the league in hits, is he not?

not many guys get better at 38, but we're not talking about melky cabrera here. we're talking about a lock hall of famer who's had his stats go up and down every year and while maybe he's not as good as his numbers would suggest this year, he's probably also not as bad as he was in 2010

chipper jones is hitting .310 this year at age 40. is it roids?

but...but... Desean flopped backwards into the end zone!!!!

maybe I'm the only Dallas fan on the planet that likes him, but Desean Jackson cracks me up. He is like TO in that they 'get it'. It IS entertainment - some Cowboyus fans screamed and wished a broken leg on Jackson when he hotdogged into the endzone against the Cowboys, but shit, if you don't like it, stop him from scoring. If you can't, you got served and he's gonna let you know it.

Play on playa

I'd like his antics a lot more if he was actually good enough to warrant them. He's just a fast little bitch who's one hit a way from counting to potato for the rest of his life. fuck that motherfucker.

Yea i'm still mad.

500+ negative tests tho...
Also, he blood doped, not roids.

I think i'll be mad about that game until the day I die. Giants win that one and they make the playoffs, packers prolly don't even get in and maybe they pull off the same run as last year? Who knows.

lol @ this jerkbag armstrong saying in his statement "i'm tired of this nonsense" when referring to all his records. and the always popular "i will not address this situation under any circumstance". LOL doesn't sound guilty at all. What a phony fucking prick, just admit it u 1 nutted bitch.

LOL @ him being innocent, 10 guys were going to testify that they seen him dope... that's why he dropped his appeal.

In most cases you are innocent until proven guilty. In this Case the powers that be have decided Armstrong is guilty unless he can prove he is innocent. It's a case that Armstrong can't win and knows he can't win.

having to prove a negative (I didn't do x) is pretty ridiculous.

and lol @ all the haters that have no idea wtf they are talking about, Rorschach test.

now Im not saying this makes taking roids right or wrong but just trying to point out the reason why they test.

I get that, but we have a whole range of activities that we rightfully restrict to the "adult" sphere, I see no reason why PEDs can't be added to that list.
