i’m only speaking from the nature of the sport aspect. people have perhaps assumed for a half century that fb players might be juiced, and where’s the mainstream outcry?

i don’t care, most don’t care, we want large and fast and mean men colliding, trading future coherence for present wealth and fame

Also, why would anyone believe anything Schilling says? That guy is so full of crap.

hoyer was interviewed on the radio earlier today. the hosts asked him about schilling’s comments. hoyer said he knew nothing and then a discussion about testing and peds followed

more positions in baseball require skill rather than slobbering strength and speed

So wouldn’t we not care about PEDs in baseball then? Given your logic, wouldn’t you care about it most in the sports where it is most important?

I think it has much more to do with the individuality of baseball. Baseball has easily identifiable players, and individual records are well known. It’s the one team sport in which team success is largely the sum of the players stats, no more/less.

In football, we don’t quantify OL-DL-LB play, so we don’t really care or notice. Individual records (say, 2000 yards) aren’t nearly as important. Though if AP took steroids and got 2500 yards (the equiv to McGwire) we might say something. But in general, the eras/numbers aren’t comparable so we don’t think that Tom Brady took steroids because he had more yards than Bart Starr.

On the other hand, numbers from eras in baseball are compared WAY more than they should, simply because the game hasn’t changed (throw the ball, hit the ball, every play).

Schilling may be a douche, but he’s honest and forthcoming with his opinions. That alone eliminates him from the political realm

Santorum always struck me as an honest guy, just a total fucking nutjob. Mostly because I can’t imagine he’d make all that crazy up.

because we want our fb players to be minotaurs. baseball is more of a sport that physically, anyone can play if they work on their skills and have some genetic luck. more positions in baseball require skill rather than slobbering strength and speed

Basically was a backup guard for Arizona then per wiki/Kerr “Lofton decided to try out for the Wildcats baseball team during his junior year. He played in just five baseball games and recorded only one official at-bat while at Arizona”

You know, then went on to have an awesome MLB career.

hmmmm, now that you mention it, i can’t think of a sport where it’s easier to identify crazy players

Come again?

Eat shit.

Come again?

lol…the fuck does that have to do with tom glavine? ahhh, i get it…teal is a fairly feminine color. tho, if tom glavine had a sherwin williams endorsement, he’d have a signature color called “tom glavine (TM) vagina pink.”

i said tom glavine was too much of a vagina to challenge the best offense of the 1990′s and got a 5 foot wide strike zone because of he’s a nibbler piece of shit fagot.

Come again?

counterpoint: he’d be an angel compared to those cocksuckers.

Potentially, but I’m not sure. He seems like such an asshole.

that’s actually a picture of Christopher Hitchens

No, it’s John Heard right before he jumps off the bridge in The Sopranos.

I look forward to Schilling running for office someday and getting hammered by an actual politician.

Let’s see

- Fat rich old white guy
- Bilked millions from taxpayers in illadvised projects
- Talks too much about God

He’s not an actual politician?

Say what now?

tom glavine won the 100m by forfeiture when officials were sick and tired of him bitching about going outside his lane the whole race.

Say what now?

I look forward to Schilling running for office someday and getting hammered by an actual politician. It would be great to see Schilling squirm as he seems like such a massive prick.
