I wish Tony Eason would have used ‘roids…

Other than that, bla – A-Rod just isn’t worth spending time on. He’s just another self-absorbed boor.

I can understand being totally dismayed and desensitized by this. If an athlete can be found to have lied, everything else going forward is justifiably tainted. I’m totally on the side of Bruce here. Look at A-Rod’s pattern of deception in this case and with his wife. How does someone automatically conclude that ‘this time’ he’s telling the truth and that ‘this time’ he’s sincere? He’s playing, obviously, to the Hall of Fame voters with every bit of fake sincerity that he can muster. That’s what this is about: The Hall of Fame and A-Rod’s power-play to get in there.

Obligation is a bit strong, I think. If this were my full-time profession, then yes, I might agree with you.

couldn’t agree more…..my point of view is, I’m an avid sports fan, but maybe I just don’t take sports “seriously” enough because I really don’t give a damn about steroids. It’s entertainment, not life and death. most realistic people have know that “performance enhancers” have been around FOR YEARS (alot of the media act like they were invented in 1998) Yes boys and girls we’ve rooted and cheered on many steroid users through the years. Isn’t it funny how the media that accuses fans of being “hero worshipers” are so upset about this? It is they who act like THIER heros have been exposed.

I love sports and I love watching the games but I never put any of these athletes up on a pedestal to begin with. Maybe that’s why I’m not all upset about it now……PLAY BALL!

You have an obligation to watch these kinds of things if you are going to host this type of column/web site. Your personal feelings about the topic notwithstanding.
