So, I just read Tom Curran’s piece on msnbc.com saying Brady will be ready for the season. I loved that in it he says “nbc sports reported that brady wouldn’t be ready”. Um, Tom, wasn’t it YOU who reported it?

It’s a reference to the Brady/Bonds trainer matter. It’s also ol’ Borgie taking the type of snide, cheap shots at the Patriots which made him famous before he humiliated himself by committing the mortal sin of journalism – namely, plagiarism, and more than once. What a hypocrite…

Yep, that’s exactly right, Tom. That must be what Borges is referring to. Thanks.

I guess the fact that we forgot about it underscores Borges’ point that steroids are a much bigger deal in baseball than football.

I think what Borges is implying is that Brady should be thankful because if not for the NFL’s supposed lenient policy of steroids detection/punishment, Brady might not be a 3 time Superbowl champ. I don’t agree with the sentiment, but i think that’s what Borges is getting at.

Yes, Anderson or somebody else linked to Barry approached Brady, but Brady turned him down.

Why is Mr. Skin on D&C yet again?

Here’s the link. certainly seems like a stretch to lump him in with Harrison and Izzo.

the only thing I can think of with the Borges reference is didn’t it come out that Brady had talked to Bonds’ trainer or something at one point? I don’t remember the details and it turned out to be nothing, but that’s the only thing I can think of that Borges is referencing.

I think where Ron is going is that in the NFL, not only are the players that did cheat (Rodney and Izzo) get less negative coverage than in MLB, but also, we dont look at a player that made a sudden body change and performance rise (Brady) with the same scrutiny. We have all seen the picture of Brady in his shorts at the combine and compare that to what he looked like in his 2nd year. All that glowing coverage of what a workout warrior he became and adding 15 lbs of muscle…Im not saying he did steroids and not sure Ron is either, but we certainly dont question fottball players in this case the same way we do baseball.
