I don't have a problem with letting the PED guys into the hall, but the meatball in me doesn't want to see them get to enjoy their enshrinement day or make a speech. Can't they let them in without the pomp and circumstance?

Can't you just not watch?

I don't watch every single year.

I watched the replays of the Barry Rozner Ryne Sandberg speech.
I'll probably watch the replays of the Maddux speech wishing he would give a big "fuck you" to Larry Himes.

That's not the time or the place unless you're a total cockbag like Michael Jordan.

Who have McCown's Bears beaten that's worth a shit?

Paul O'Neill did get hurt a lot and seemed to have a lot of simmering anger, but he also didn't change 3 shirt sizes in a 4 year period.

don't forget that roids or HGH aren't just used to build ludicrous amounts of muscle. Was Andy Pettitte some kind of Ned Flanders when he removed the pinstriped top? Doubt it.

These guys, hell probably every team had guys, who would use something to get healthy quickly and stay off the DL. You'd never know it.

Which is part of the reason why I don't give a fuck about PEDs.

I actually think the juicers should be let in, for all I give a fuck about the HOF.

Fact is, without Sosa and McGwire, baseball wouldn't have had as quick a rebound following the work stoppage in 94.

Not to mention, it's a little hard to say that because these guys cheated they shouldn't be allowed into the same hallowed hall as Whitey Ford, Don Sutton or Gaylord Perry.

No one will ever convince me that Barry Bonds isn't one of the best 2-3 players of all time.

Even without the PEDs too.

I also believe he's one of the biggest cock nostrils ever to play sports (excluding the OJ Simpson types natch) and every time he gets fucked over trying to get into the Hall, I reserve the right to laugh and call him a cock nostril.

This is a thing that will happen in two days.

I guess, in his own time, Bill Hicks could be said to compare unfavorably to Paul...

He hates Bill Hicks?!?!

Jesus, all this time I was amused in a detached way by teh Paul, but this shit just pisses me off.  Not like his delusional analogies to Kant et.al. didn't already prove the point, but christ what a dumbfuck.

If I had to come up with five words to describe Huey, they would definitely be "amused, in a detached way."

Potato, in a boiled way

Anal, too big for it.

And that's the end of the PED debate. Thanks, guys. It's been emotional.

Every team had has guys on the stuff during this time, so it's not like these managers had some sort of advantage. They just had better players on PEDs. The whole morality, sanctity of the game crap is ridiculous. You could argue that greenies helped players more, and everyone took those for decades. Who cares.

The game has no sanctity. People who try to project that on it are really sad in the way that they delude themselves and try to impose their beliefs on others. Players took what was available to them before steroids were available. Greenies were a fine example. They kept non-whites out of the game until Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby so take that sanctity, shove it in your pie hole and choke on it.

Bobby Cox, wife beater and Tony LaRussa, steroid giver both in.

Meanwhile, Bonds and his ilk MUST BE KEPT OUT.

Self-righteousness is a helluva drug.

The soccer World Cup makes me wish the IIHF could finally get their shit together and do a hockey one at regular intervals. That would fucking rule.

In addition to the Winter Olympics? So you would have your regular seasons interrupted every two years instead of four? I'm not arguing against it but is that something you would want? How would you make it better than the Olympic tournament if you ran the zoo?

Has anybody else heard Jim Gray's weekly radio interviews with Tom Brady before the Monday night or Thursday night games? They sound like a deleted scene from Leave it to Beaver. They're just so.... nice. It's sickening.

Tonight they talked about Brady's kid's letters to Santa and Nelson Mandela.

He did this for a while with Larry Fitzgerald also, when Larry was going back to school to get his degree.

They were so awkwardly cheesy I was always half-sure it was a bit.  

I've accidentally heard about three of them. Your assessment is dead-on. They're basically corporate-sponsored commercials. Macy's I think. Larry's were sponsored by U of Phoenix. Absolutely pointless, even if you're the biggest Brady dong-chuggar this side of Bill Simmons. If either party actually said something interesting during the exchanges, the sponsors would probably shit themselves and pull the ads.

It really bugs me how canned and edited they sound. There is a millisecond pause between Gray's questions and the start of Brady's answers, leading me to believe they edited out the actual space and any uh's or breaths that Brady may have emitted before his pat response.

In a way, it's actually a tiny bit insulting to listen to. But my commute is like 8 minutes from the gym to the house and if the other station's on commercial, well...

Is it the sports radio equivalent to "Entertainers with Byron Allen"?

Back to sports: Is it more or less useless than Ron Santo's pregame manager interviews?

More due to the lack of unintentional hilarity that could ensue whenever Ron was on the mic.

Looking forward to seeing if any major outlets have the balls not to give Kanye the #1 spot

Lest he berate them in one of his weird, shitty concerts or asinine auto-analingual interviews? I doubt it.
