football players earn their money;

Yeah, theres definitely no football players doing anything illegal.

Bias much?

I hope you asked the same question when a former Red Sox board member led an investigation that found no Red Sox players at the time were found to have any ties to steroids.

I do agree though, I’d bet that no World Series team in the past 10-15 years was without at least one roider. Its sad but something baseball fans will deal with forever.

Wasnt this the fake list that came out that supposedly had the people on the Mitchell report right before the Mitchell report came out? Definite fake.

Hilarious that someone could look at that list of 103 names though and somehow thinks this only causes a fraud alert on the Red Sox championship. Bias much?

this is exactly why “blogs” get killed. Why not just throw out 104 names and see what happens. Nothing bad can happen, right?
C’mon. The crazy thing is it could be right on. Reality is it just does not matter.
Here is the scoop: baseball players are cheaters; soccer players are pussies; football players earn their money; and hoops players love to cash their paycheck.
Aside from that – it does not really matter.
PS – golfers are mostly white.

Seems sketchy how the list leads with all Red Sox players

Well, it does seem like it jumps into Orioles then the rest of the AL East.

I’m not trying to make the least sound legit, but there seems to be many other ways to attack it than the order it was put in.

Seems sketchy how the list leads with all Red Sox players… talk about an unreliable “source” – not even worth re-printing at this point.

Kinda sad when you’re getting ethics lessons from Deadspin.

If you believe this list is accurate, commence kicking yourself in the balls …. NOW.

BREAKING NEWS…Baseball stars have/do take steroids. Also, think this list is probably fake for many of the reasons above, but also because many players were taking designer steroids or HGH. Which by all accounts were not detectable by the current methods, or required a blood test.

Right. Why would you hold on by filling your body with drugs when filling your body with drugs just saved your life? Why would you hang around an extra year doing steroids? Just for the extra million dollars? That doesn’t even make any sense.

Wow, so chemo and anabolic steroids are kind of the same thing? Them roids really are getting a bad rap then. And Galarraga signed a 500k contract for 2003 after total career earnings of $55 million. Obviously I have no idea if he used or not, but lots of people actually point to his cancer as evidence that he might have usedearlier in his career. And if you believe that then the idea that he would be using in 2003 is kind of out there.

It seems like an awful weird thing to do when you just recently beat cancer and your career was kind of at a natural end anyway.
