Thoughts

Can this please go away now? I am so disgusted by and sick of all of these steroids stories. I am tired of turning on ESPN's SportsCenter which has turned into SteroidsCenter. Clips of press conferences and interviews with players that don't matter.

"What is it like being a teammate of a guy who may have taken steroids?"

Come on. Do you really think you're going to get a juicy response? Is one of these guys, who knows he is going to be shown nationally, going to say something like, "Good god he is a monster. He has terrible fits of rage, especially when we are in the gym. I am often afraid for my life"?

Every player, every former player, even celebrities are asked what their thoughts are on allegations of performance enhancing drugs.

"Did you ever use them?"
"Did you ever see any teammates use them?"
"Did you ever hear about any teammates using them?"
"Do these pants make my butt look big?"
"Should any records obtained by the accused be taken away?"
"Should those records have an * after them in the books?"
"What is the average air speed velocity of a laden swallow?"

WHO CARES?!?!

This is an issue for Major League Baseball to deal with. Let them deal with it. They will make their investigations, they will take action in any case where they find violation of league rules. We'll find out about it then. None of us are going to be surprised.

Does Congress really need to get involved? Would the House of Representatives not have something more important on their docket than sending subpoenas to players? How is this an issue of National importance to the point where the Government needs to intervene?

Let's not forget the idiot who went and wrote a book about it. I understand you probably are on the brink of Chapter 7. You probably thought your career would last forever. And why shouldn't it? Your stats were easily mediocre at best. On the off chance any current and/or former players still talked to him, I hope they disown him. What an awful thing to do by lobbing accusations around the league. Stay out of it!

Again, let Commissioner Bud Selig and his boys take care of it. Attempting to watch sports highlights now is like watching in the summer when no leagues are in play except baseball. You know that college basketball is raging on right now? Can I see more than 2 seconds of a game please? They are showing scores with no footage for top 25 games, is that because they are devoting too much time to this substance abuse garbage?

It is a serious problem, I know. Steroids are serious. I am also serious when I say, "Take it off the air!"

I hate the media.

*UPDATE*

This poll from ESPN.com blows my mind.
