… I think if McGwire had been forthcoming and truthful at the Congressional hearing, people would have forgiven.

Roger Clemens didn’t learn that lesson, either.

To the McGwire family dinner to see how this goes over

Big Mac, time for some lunch.

your attempt of being a HOF is done

I have no sympathy toward the players that used ‘roids, still, brothers shouldn’t rat brothers out unless it’s something serious like murder or something of the sort. To financially gain from talking about your brothers life is lame… VERY lame.

Somebody should give Mac’s bro the finger of shame.

…when he said he wasn’t here to talk about the past, apparently he meant it. Whatever he took or didn’t take, once his playing career was over, he pretty much vanished. He didn’t try to prolong his career, didn’t attempt any comebacks, didn’t write books, didn’t do the talk-show circuit to explain his side of the story, didn’t have a mouthpiece trying to spin the facts for him…

Really, aside from that SI Swim Suit couples piece and a few celebrity golf events, I can’t recall him being in the limelight at all since his playing days. I’m pretty sure the Cardinals keep asking him to participate in events, but I think he keeps declining – maybe one or two early on but that’s it.

It’s almost like he accepts the consequences of his actions in the court of public opinion, has pleaded “no contest”, and just wants to be left alone. Given that I tend to put more blame on the system than the individual for this whole PED era, I’m inclined to grant him his wish and just leave him alone.

I hate the fact that you always have to keep PEDs in mind if a player does extraordinarily well for longer periods of time.

McGwire, Palmeiro, Clemens, Bonds, etc. were on top of the world……… and now we know why.

Was the first player suspended by Major League Baseball for using amphetamines

Where is his book?

Stays together?

Sorry – just trying to inject a little humor into the situation.

ah ha ha… sometimes I just crack me up… ;-)
