Now, the Niagra Falls-like leak in the San Francisco Grand Jury system has leaked Barry Bonds’ testimony where he admitted to using “the Clear” and “the Cream” from BALCO, but insists he didn’t know it was a steroid, and that he quit taking it because “it didn’t work anyway.”
Right Barry. You doubled in size from age 35-38 and doubled your average season’s homerun total, but you didn’t know it was juice and that it was working. Maybe you could help OJ find the real killers too.
I am sick and fucking tired of what pro sports have become. With the exception of the NFL, all the other leagues have substance abuse rules that are a joke. I mean, you can get busted SEVEN TIMES in major league baseball and not lose your job, you can beat your wife or girlfriend in both baseball and the NBA with no trouble coming your way, and now you can apparently admit to using steroids, a substance that is illegal to possess or use in the US, and there’s STILL no ramifications.
I hope like hell the Yankees find a way to void Giambi’s contract over this. While I would like to see the Yankees stuck with a non-playing 120 million dollar first baseman, the bigger part of me wants these guys to understand that there are ramifications from their dangerous activities.
By the way, I am still waiting for ESPN to actually break a real news story, like the fact that the sky is blue…
Next up is the apparent word that Urban Meyer of Utah will NOT be taking the Notre Dame job. What? How DARE he not accept our offer of employment. We’re Notre Dame, after all.
Umm…no you’re not. You’re not UGA. You’re not Auburn. You’re not even Tennessee. You know what you are, Golden Domers?
You’re Arkansas.
That’s right. Arkansas. You aren’t as good as you think you are and you’re certainly not as good as your fans think you should be. For that matter, who you actually are is Mississippi.
And now, your next first choice has turned down the job to go to Florida. Whoops. Know what that means? It means that you damned well better make sure the NEXT guy you offer the job says yes, or you’re gonna be vaunted Notre Dame, begging your third choice of a head coach to take the job.
Welcome to the new NCAA football, ND. 85 scholarships + no conference affiliation + NBC holding that TV contract to your head expecting every week to be Notre Dame vs. USC = you guys being 6-5 or worse for a long time to come.
You should have joined the Big Ten when you had the chance. I don’t think they’ll take you anymore. Maybe the Big East will…
One more thing. It seems that in preparation for the SEC Title game, several of the UT Vols were out drinking until 2am and enjoying watching their 235 pound bretheren punch 155 pound frat guys in the nose.
Coach Fulmer’s response: “If they were out that late, then I’m disappointed.”
Nice. Way to have the guys focused before the game that could and WOULD get UT into a BCS game and into a huge payday.
War Eagle, everybody.
What say you?
