Anyone know if they break for lunch...?? And if so, how long?

That would be a distant fourth then, wouldn't it?  :D

 

 

I think it's time to break out the fifth.

You'll discover that pride ranks a distant second to money, fame and pussy.

 

 

Maybe, we shall see in the future I guess.

MLB is not the only one to blame. Kids in all sports are doping to get an edge. That goes for high school, college, minors, & majors. If there is anything substantial to come out of these hearings it's that those making $ from sports telecasts should be responsible for educating the public & using personalities to make doping the worst thing imaginable for a kid.

 

To me that is more important than developing testing standards that simply make it more difficult for athletes to cheat. I would like them to ask Jose Canseco, Jason Giambi, Brian Bosworth, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, & Mark McGuire whether they think any player could consistently look into the eyes of high school kids & tell them doping is horrible & then turn around & continue to dope themselves. I believe the answer would unanimously be no.

Agree. He is a complete asshole.

BALCO took a while to be discovered..

 

Thats what I mean. Illegal producers won't be discovered unless someone turns them in, as the track coach did in the BALCO case. So it does very little good to look for all of the manufacturers becuase where there is a demand there is a market. We need to focus on the demand (players) and stop it there.

I was wondering that too, maybe after this second panel is done.

ESPN Report: Sosa will deny using steroids. Big surprise there.

"I recommend you do the same"

 

BURN!

I wonder if Sosa will start screaming at the board like he did the reporter when asked if he has taken roids... :bang

Buster Olney continues to be the most useless person on earth.

Exactly, I guess that is what I've been tryingto say. Could you edit my next manuscript?

Frank Thomas, along with Shilling, will be sworn in and made a member of an official Congressional Taskforce to investigate Steroid abuse in MLB.

 

:o

 

This was just reported on ESPNNews by Bob Ley

 

What kind of wedge will this put between them and their teammates?!?

I hope so.. I'm starving.

 

 

Any word on ESPN the players stance if they don't get to them today..? I think this is running a bit longer than they expected. IIRC they end their day at 4pm and it's already almost 2.

If ESPN switched you off, change to C-SPAN 1.

 

Edit: nevermind, they got rid of it.

What would Frank and Curt (and whomever else) have to do while they are on this task force?

Federal Investigator Frank Thomas, reporting for duty!

 

Drop your pants Sammy!

 

:lol:

Holy s***! Sosa just made a statement of a 100% denial of everything!

Not just steroids! He made reference to all performance enhancement substances. He said he has never put any of them in his body.

 

I hope they ask him why he was carrying 10's of 1000's of dollars in a paper bag in that one reported incident. :headshake

Ummm... I don't think I like that. Players should not be put into a position to tattle on other players. An independent pannel should be formed. People with nothing to gain from outing, or hiding, the players using.
