    Here is what we have never heard from any baseball player, except maybe Jose Canseco.
    "Sure, I used PEDs. They made me a better, more durable player. I got paid a LOT more because I used them. There were no penalties for using them. I don't regret it, and I would do it again."
    One more point. Bud Selig, who oversaw the entire steroid era, is in the Hall Of Fame, but some of the greatest players of the era are not.

    The NFL OT rule is in the same category as the Cricket World Cup final from 2019 England and New Zealand tied in regulation, they then got 6 balls each to make as many runs as possible, they both got 14, England won because they'd hit more boundaries (home runs). Garbage! England never won that, it should have gone to another 6 balls.

    If steroids alone could make a player great, our league would be filled with bodybuilders. Steroids cannot help one time and hit a 95mph slider. Yes, recovery time and added strength was an unfair advantage.

      Again, are you quantifying the steroid boost as .03 BA? Did the steroids DIRECTLY help him hit. No. Did they indirectly help him hit?. Yes, because he was able to stay healthy/recover faster.

    @The Rich Eisen Show and @Bob Costas the best overtime rule would be win the toss and choose offense or defense. You get one 4 down progressive drive (basically 4 down territory) to get a touchdown. If you the defense stop the offense the defensive team win... if the offense score then it's the opposing outcome. Imagine you were the seattle defense in the broncos game. Imagine it was a close and low scoring affair that went to overtime and pete carrol wins the toss. Does he go with young nqb and ground and pound short game or let the legion of boom stop payton from getting in the endzone? THAT IS EXCITING BOB!!!

    The pushback against Barry Bonds, who when playing for Pittsburgh (think he was 28 or 29 at the time) was an incredible player and had a phenomenal year. But, history and statistics do not lie - NO PLAYER OVER THE AGE OF 35 has ever increased their home run production and continued to do so as they aged beyond 35 years of age. Also, their home run length doesn't increase by 25 feet at that age versus their average homerun distance in their upper 20's. And, their shoe size and forehead size does not grow in their upper 30 years of age! It is just common sense!

    So Bonds never tested positive, and Ortiz did, but it wasn't supposed to be made public.
    So Bonds never won a world series, but he broke records. Ortiz won 3 world series after testing positive.
    So A-Rod received punishment both in lost playing time and monetary loss, and Ortiz was never punished, so A-Rod should be punished again.
    So Bonds lost MVP awards and his team lost games to known cheaters in the 90s and MLB did nothing.
    So Bonds took Balco supplements which had ergogenic effects, but which were marketed to athletes as technically legal designer steroid alternatives, but Ortiz may have tested positive because he only took a technically legal steroid alternative that has since been reclassified as illegal, and banned.
    So Clemens faced a league of batters that hit 50% more home runs in the 90s than it had in the 80s, and literally had PED enhanced world class athletes launching the ball at his head at 110 mph, and baseball allowed that unfair and dangerous imbalance to impact his relative performance, well-being, safety and livelihood for years before he is suspected of having done anything.
    So steroids permanently affect your ability to perform (unlike greenies) but Ortiz only tested positive before he won 3 world championships so they are all legit.
    Houston broke the rules to win a championship. Barry Bonds never broke a rule of baseball and may have only ever taken, or at the least may have only believed he was taking technically legal steroid alternatives that were not categorized as such by the federal government at the time.
    So Bonds is punished because he hit 73 and 762, but Ortiz is not punished because he only hit 54 and 541.

      @MrBezl 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      But if it’s a timed overtime then you’re dealing with more players hurt. It’s a fact that the longer you play, the more your muscles fatigue, the higher likelihood you get hurt. And what if it’s tied after that time period. Are we going to have 80 minutes total of football? How is that fair for the winner? You go through two over time periods and win and now you have to turn around and play a week later in the championship game? That’s not fair. Football isn’t just about offense. It’s 3 phases. I think the rules are fine. You can’t say you should have won if you didn’t win in regulation

      DH has been a position for almost 50 years and is going to be in both leagues. And are you implying golfers aren't athletes then?

      @@davidleary4524 I didn't say golfing is easy, but it's golf. If there hadn't been a DH, you never would have even heard of Ortiz. Just because there is a DH, doesn't mean I have to like it. Before the DH, a career pinch-hitter (which is what DH's are) would NEVER get into the hall.

    Coastas is just another useless racetrack tout. Except he's more irritating.
