Yea, nothing more exciting than fouls, time outs, free throws, practically meaningless fist halves, infernal squeaking sneakers on the floor, ghetto culture, blaring rap music, pregnant groupies left and right. And best of all, 30 minutes finish the last 2 minutes of a game.
Sometimes I think basketball doesn't really exist. There's no way such a pointless,stupid game could really be watched or played by anybody. The whole thing, from the NBA to March Madness, is one big practical joke the entire world is playing on me.
Manny for UN Abassador for baseball. He really gets it. I have tears in my eyes.
The drip, drip, drip of names is purposeful it would seem.
Just as an FYI, the coach of my high school football team pushed steroids to his players during the 1970’s - 1980’s. The use of steroids in sports at all levels is not new. The only thing new about it is the feigned outrage from fans.
The NYT loves anonymous sources, and leaking secret information. They loved leaking top secret information during the Bush administration even if it hurt national security. I don't expect any leaks happening during the Obama years. Smearing Big Papi and Manny is just SOP.
Maybe it is purposeful. The leak of Ramirez’s and Ortiz’s names would seem to indicate a Yankee fan is behind it.
All that anonymity resulted from one of the stupider moves in sports history. MLB finally decided that indeed steroids should be against the rules, and there should be testing, but because Selig is so weak he couldn’t push the PA to agree to having any punishment or even reporting. So they did all these tests, and all these players failed, and the end result of it was nothing. Actually worse than nothing, now that the “big report” has come out and said there were 100+ players that failed it’s caused all stats from that time to be doubted, creating a level of guilt for all players. They should never have agree to all the anonymity in the first place and should just go ahead and publish the list.
Keep your eyes on the former and current Pirates players as well...some really great talent from their rosters that seem to be clean but for one reason or another can’t put together a winning record...
I would think Derek Jeter, too. If not, I’ll be really disappointed. Probably most players from my Tigers will not be on the list— at least if they were juiced and still that pitiful (at that time), the doctors should be sued for malpractice....

Must be a leaker somewhere, and other than gossip I have no idea why names would be leaked since apparently there will be no penalties from 2003 levied.
Well it certainly wasn't the former parasite politician and Boston Red Sox sycophant, George Mitchell.
And you know this how? BS.
Manny Ortiz, Ted Kennedy’s favorite Red Sox.
