Baseball and their marketing arm and the news media made such a big deal of the home run records, and brushed aside any of the doubts (such as Reilly's column about how the players are juiced) about how they were doing it.<BR/><BR/>I think hitting probably takes as much skill as quarterbacking, running back, etc. But that's not the perception, and for a record as large as the home run record, it's clear now that the steroids gave them a sizable long term advantage that the Babe never had.<BR/><BR/>So that's why baseball looks awful and no one makes a big deal about football. Baseball created the problem for itself.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I find the Bears' Urlacher to be the scariest creation on the planet. If you've seen him with the pads off, it's hard to believe he's even human. He's more like a real-life comic book hero. Maybe the padding helps us to suspend disbelief?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1159882001395820762006-10-03T09:26:00.000-04:002006-10-03T09:26:00.000-04:00Baseball is messier than football?

Speaking through his attorney Ed Novak, Grimsley said he had no knowledge of star pitchers Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte using performance-enhancing drugs. The "Arizona Republic" quotes Grimsley as saying "never in a million years" would Clemens and Pettitte use steroids. An affidavit filed in federal court last May was said to have contained the names of those players Grimsley identified, but the names were later blacked out when the document was made public. Grimsley, who was caught by investigators receiving an illegal shipment of a growth hormone last April, still hasn't been charged with any crime. He had agreed to cooperate with investigators, but later stopped when he hired an attorney."Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578294344206366226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1159874948895291262006-10-03T07:29:00.000-04:002006-10-03T07:29:00.000-04:00That's so cute that Davis and Laettner are buying ...That's so cute that Davis and Laettner are buying a team together.
