there's still integrity in the game, hopefully.... let these assholes filter themselves out and start fresh. they are a different generation. there are some good, young players out there...
- PonyBoy0
ahaha... Manny just got busted for 50 games!

nooooo...it's the only sport I remotely give a shit about
too much showboating in Football & basketball....and hockey...well I just don't care
World Cup is always fun when it comes around though
- showboating in hockey? please.nicole_marie
- yes.. please don't insult hockey ever again.bogue
- c'mon...READ people
I didn't say they showboat in hockey. I just said I don't care about hockey.marychain - depends on how you READ your pauses i guess. but you came close to insulting hockey. watch it.nicole_marie

They need to adopt a strong testing procedure like the NFL. MLB has it way too easy.
- NFL doesn't do shit either..... merriman?fiver
- they have the toughest testing policies out of any sport.********
- and he was suspended********
- nocomply0
hey that's just manny being manny.
*grins, chuckles...
man this just made my day!!
- voiceof0
An enigma, I always think it's on its way out, until I talk to the people around me and they go on about how great it is.
Blows my mind how this game is still around.
- fiver0
they might test well, but the fact that merriman was even considered for the defnesive player of the year the same season he sat out is just as hypocritical as MLB.
- but he didn't get it for that reason.********
- they had to recognize the numbers, that's just common sense********
- he was suspended as was manny. i don't see the difference....fiver
- so should bonds be in the hall of fame? because of his numbers?fiver
- nope********
- I was purely talking testing polices. I have friends in the NFL and MLB.********
- It is common fact the the NFL are drug testing NAZIS, you should hear the stories of what those guys have to do.********
- well, we both have to agree that they've gotten better. manny woulnd't have been suspended 5 years agofiver
- and the NFL doesn't have selig. he's the problem...fiver
- yeah, I agree with you********
- and they are getting better, which is good to see.********
- but he didn't get it for that reason.

eh... i have no problems with the massive salaries... these people bring in fan after fan who buy buy buy... they earn their keep...
... next... i'm going to go way out on a limb and probably piss a few of you off...
... but i say make performance enhancement LEGAL... why? Same reason I say make illegal recreation drugs in the states legal - the percentage of users vs. those being busted is huge... the cat's already out of the bag - if you don't want your kids using drugs... well - duh... teach them... Scarlett Johannson is so hot.
- that idea has been talked about a lot on sports blogs. i'm not entirely against it.nocomply
- i mean who knows what the Babe was on?nocomply
- Whiskey and Hookers!********
- But what are records worth then? Nothing.juhls
- And there should be a cap on salaries. Millions of dollars is where the cap is now for some sports. That's good enough.juhls
- fiver0
the only problem is the record books. you can't shit on the ones that started the leagues just because these assholes are juicing for bigger contracts....

I think they should let them take every fucking drug they want, so we can see what human + science capabilities really are!
I mean, now that the sport is tainted, every time anybody does anything well, people are going to suspect drugs. Like in track, and cycling, and football (yeah, I don't think anybody really thinks football is holy in this regard) and almost all of the Olympic sports.
The whole drug testing thing has gotten to be ridiculous--they just announced new results on the 2008 Olympic Games!! It took 18 million years to decide a Tour de France winner.
I mean, one of the excitements of sports is THE MOMENT of winning/losing. Now if all results are strictly provisional (like in FormulaOne), sport loses almost all of its drama, and most of its human interest.
- boobs0
If sporting results are determined in courts, and before appeals committees, and through chemical tests, well, THE CHARM IS GONE.

Manny - MLB - 50 game suspension
Chris Anderson - NBA - 2 year suspension
Shawne Merriman - NFL - 4 game suspension
The NFL suspension policy is lame.
Granted Chris Anderson was prob suspended for something entirely different than steroids...but 2 years is bigtime.
- NFL = strongest testing policy. Not gonna say it again.********
- <<< Maybe for having shitty ink?********
- That's completely subjective. Plus the only thing "tougher" is that NFL salaries aren't guaranteed.foobaz
- Hahaha...yeah, actually, he should be suspended for that...foobaz
- hehehehe********
- chris anderson is nasty! the birdman!dirtydesign
- NFL = strongest testing policy. Not gonna say it again.
