Thoughts on University of Kentucky Athletics, the textbook industry, and the ridiculousness of American politics.

Is That You, Yogi?

Jorge Posada channeled another great Yankee Catcher yesterday when he said - in regards to the Roger Clemens steroid story - "I just hope whoever is telling the truth is telling the truth. We'll see." Jorge's quote on-line

We will see Jorge, because the story got nuttier as reports are coming in that Clemens' wife got some HGH to prepare for a photo shoot in Sports Illustrated. I've researched the photos, purely in the name of journalistic research, and I must say that if she did take HGH then they outta put the stuff in the public water supply because she's hotter than billy goat with four testicles.

This whole saga makes for good t.v., but I'm to the point where people are gonna have to realize that almost every accomplished athlete has made sacrifices and tried things that most of us wouldn't. In other words, if you think that all baseball players are completely PED - free now that testing is stricter you are wrong. If you believe the NFL is PED - free you are crazy. Just watch the combine workouts on the NFL channel this summer. These are guys coming right out of college and they are freaks. Absolute freaks. It takes more hard work than most of us can comprehend and more mental toughness than most of us can muster. And I think it sometimes means taking drugs, but that last part admittedly is speculation on my part.

But, as more and more of these stories come out, can we really believe that only a very small portion of high level athletes use PEDs?

If you are a man;
1) You say you are married.
2) You post a topic about cheerleading.
3) Straight men do not post topics on cheerleading.
4) Gay people can only marry in Massachusetts.
QED) You are a Red Sox fan and that is why you tease poor Jorge.

If you are a woman;
Hey there. I dig chicks that dig baseball and westerns. Wanna hook up?
