  1. They might have no remorse now, but when they are both in jail or put under probation and never get into the HOF they will feel differently. Baseball is not just about records and money. People who don't have any money like you and I are the only ones who say that.
  2. My point is exactly the point and you know it. If you didn't think it was the point you would have said, "Well everyone takes roids so what's the difference." Clemens was done until he took roids. Bonds broke records that no one could have broken by taking the most powerful stuff GNC makes. What Clemens and Bonds took obviously is unbelievably powerful and they new it which is why they took it. Clemens and Bonds had plenty of money before they decided to juice. I guarantee they would give all the extra money they made back if they could trade that for getting inducted into the HOF. Bonds and Clemens are idiotic precisely because what they did is going to keep them out of the HOF. Being idiotic is taking something that you didn't need that will result in losing baseball immortality and honor.
  3. I think that this is Lovie's response to the administration's demand that they make the playoffs this year or he is gone. The pressure is ratcheting up, and Lovie's response is to try to remind everyone that he is in control. Or so he thinks. I put very little stock into preseason games apart from #3. In part I understand where Lovie is coming from because the Chicago media dissects every little play in the preseason. Lovie thinks his team has improved, and we will find that out for sure starting with game one in Detroit.
  4. The difference is that when a player takes the kind of supplements that Bonds and so many others took, the results it brings far exceed anything that you can get at GNC. Every baseball player takes supplements, not everyone takes horse steroids or HGH. Stop making excuses for their idiotic and illegal behavior.
  5. No it wouldn't. It would make people lose faith in the game of baseball itself.
  6. If you put them in and there was proof they juiced, it should be mentioned on their HOF plaque. I bet the juicers would not let themselves be put in the HOF if anything related to their steroid activity was mentioned on their plaque or during the ceremony.
  7. We will never know what kind of career Bonds, Clemens, Sosa, and Arod would have had. Putting the HOF voters in the position of trying to determine what they could have done is the punishment for the crime. They will never get it.
  8. I don't know how I can distaste a guy more from one day to the next, but Favre manages to do that to me. Favre wanted to rejoin the Vikings before July 19, are you kidding me?
  9. In a day when newspapers are cutting staff like never before, Cowley is giving the Sun Times a few reasons to get rid of him down the line.
  10. Instead of 2-14 they'd have a shot @ 4-12. If Jay goes down it's over The Bears have a future Tom Brady or Kurt Warner waiting in the wings. You just watch!
  11. Whatever little rubber chips they are using at the new Meadowlands stadium makes it look like everyone has drips of blood all over their arms and faces.
  12. "if a couple of the Hossas and Hjalmarssons get hurt, especially given their lack of cap space, even after dumping Huet, they're in for a world of hurt." What team could really overcome 2 of their top 8 players getting hurt? This isn't a problem that is specific to the Hawks.
  13. Niemi still not signed. Any word on anyone wants him?
  14. I've heard Josh McCown's name thrown about. He is with the UFL now, but could walk away from that. He also has experience with Martz.
  15. You are right that they shouldn't allow spectators to stand in it. But the rules regarding bunkers were clearly made available to him and was pasted on the wall in the clubhouse. Dustin said he didn't bother to look at them. The players in the clubhouse who were watching the coverage on TV were talking aloud saying that Johnson better not ground his club. Unfortunately he did. I dont know a lot about golf, did him breaking the rule give him an advantage? The idea behind the rule is that you aren't supposed to be able to test the "firmness" or condition of the hazard by putting your club on it. That and you could possibly knock over some of the sand in back of the ball on a buried or bad lie on your follow through and make better contact. You can also get a little more balance by grounding the club, but in reality grounding the club does little to affect the shot.

  17. Johnson should have known or asked. A big bunker-shaped hole filled with sand is usually considered a bunker. Yeah it stinks, but rules are rules.
  18. The NFL Network but not until tomorrow. Also goto this site and see if the stream works: http://atdhe.net/ Nice it works. What is that thing?
  19. If you are out of the Chicago area, there is no way to watch this game is there?
  20. I had a feeling that unless the Braves won the World Series this year, he was coming back before the injury. His contract goes through 2011 and I doubt he could leave $14 million on the table.
  21. Yep. It was a pretty incredible defensive play.
  22. I'm OK with the turnovers if they do in fact score 3-5 more points per game. With an improved defense, this team just might be OK.
  23. Which is why the Bears really need a solid backup.
  24. I feel ya. I'm 29 and would be considered almost past my prime for professional sports. That's just not right!
  25. How much have ticket prices gone up?
