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 90s guys don't owe me any apologies. Rules aren't really rules if there's absolutely no enforcement of said rule...either officially or by social sanction and reputational damage.
Costas is totally correct ...the overtime setup in the playoffs is a joke ...The argument that the defence has the opportunity to stop the offence is similarly idiotic...The league rules completely favour the offence, so the suggestion Costas makes is totally logical ...
Even in Canada we play a 15 minute overtime period in football. The fans love it, a bonus quarter in football. It’s like getting 5 quarters for only a dollar. Who if anybody would lose in this scenario? Stay safe from Newfoundland
I'll never have a say or voice in television or radio so I'm glad to have the most articulate man in broadcasting share my sentiments about the NFL overtime rule.
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. Would not all these great pitchers using foreign substances also be cheaters? There are HOF pitchers we know doctored the ball, Slippery slope.
Baseball is the cheating sport. Literally every team every year is cheating. And we’re gonna stick to PEDS? So dumb. 🤦♂️ baseball doesn’t know how to get out of its own way and that’s why it’s dying
@@dffndjdjd So steroids directly increased Bonds BA by .03? Or did the steroids allow the 30+ something, umm.. ya know, stay healthy? Steroids allowed players to stay healthy and STAY GRINDING. There's not as much downtime or rust to knock off when the player does come back.
@Andrew G Did he headbutt the ball? His whole body grew cause he was taking steroids, working out, and never stopping. You can be the biggest, muscle meat head in the world, but it doesn't help reflexes or hand eye coordination. 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. Bonds won ROY,was MVP in his 5th year. How much are you saying he cheated then? Was he going to be a HOF, and not the GOAT? Just HOF? Hall of Very Good?
@@Abeja1225 Strength is directly related to bat speed. Bat speed is directly related to BABIP. BABIP is directly related to batting average. Hope that helps.
Pete Rose never gets into the Hall of Fame while he's alive. "I didn't do it! I didn't do it! I didn't do it! I didn't do it! I DID do it and for $24.95 you can buy my book and find out how!"
Mike zimmer once had the vikings kick.off in overtime when their offense was bad but their defense was elite and they won the game. granted this was a regular season game.
Here's how you fix it... not first to a touchdown or first score. But an 8 minute period with a first to 10 points (touchdown and field goal) stipulation or whoever is in the lead after the period ends.
@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!!!
As Bill James put it: the Hall of Fame is a museum run by a bunch of accountants; the Hall of Fame is a self-defining institution which has failed to define itself.
Overtime rule: Both coaches submit a bid for the yard line where they will take the ball, visitor must be even number, home odd. Lowest number gets the ball. First team to score wins. No random chance coin flip, coach's decision. Regular football, no special rules.
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!
To Costas's point at 5:45...The MLB needs to come to grips with what they tacitly sanctioned for a decade plus..and that is the use of steroids. The made millions upon millions knowing many of the top players were juiced (as did the media).
The steroid era is a myth. From 1992 to 1994 HRS jumped 33%, Runs/game went up a run, and BABIP jumped 15 pts, and basically stayed at those levels for 20 years. And it had nothing to do with steroids....It was the ball.
If it’s overtime both teams have 2 mins to score. At the end of both possessions the team with the highest score wins. If they are tied each teams kicker will have a field goal kick off from 50 yard line. Whoever misses twice loses.
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.
If there's a tie after four quarters, I think they should make one player from each team take turns playing russian roulette. The team with only one player alive at the end wins.
Let’s say OT is 1 quarter and after that quarter it’s still tied…Costas is wrong. Buffalo couldn’t keep them out of FG range and there were only 13 seconds left. Let’s admit it, Buffalo thought they’d won…The Chiefs didn’t agree.
It's the dumbest rule in NFL, second only to ineligible receiver down field. How can you reasonably ask a 300lb person to not take a step beyond the line of scrimmage? At least make it 3-5 yrds. It is a ancient rule from the days when passing was illegal.
You cannot talk about the history baseball without mentioning Peter Edward Rose. Both Pete Rose & Shoeless Joe Jackson should be in The Baseball Hall Of Fame.
Not gonna lie… I love that the only time we talk about baseball is when they’re fucking up. Baseball has been falling and falling for years now. We’ll see if all these writers ever put a Houston Astro in the hall. We all know that they’re hypocrites anyways
Forget steroids for a moment. Ortiz was not first ballot material. Couldn't run the bases, Couldn't field at all, strictly a hitter in a way that few players are. If Ortiz is first ballot then Edgar Martinez should be proclaimed king of the Hall. HOF, yes first ballot, no.
There is probably seven guys (Bonds, Clemens, ARod, Sosa, Palmeiro, Ramirez, and Sheffield) I would say that are attached to the steroid era and have HOF numbers. Having them in the HOF wouldn't really alter things that much, but I agree that either all should be in or none should.
It has to be a time overtime. Because if each team gets the ball at least once. Because the first team only gets 3 downs if they don't move the ball and the second team is going use 4 downs.
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

How about this? A special section in the Hall acknowledging "The Enhanced Era" of MLB statistics, and add those players to it.

Although originally against changes to OT, I now think that each team should get the ball in playoff OT.
OH SHUT UP! -Bob Costas. ABSOLUTE GOLD. Also Costas may be the most interesting man in the world.
