Why put out the report than you douchebag???

Everyone knows steroids have been a problem in baseball

The names listed aren't a surprise to anyone

I heard (have not read, nor do I plan to) that the report was pretty harsh on MLB itself. This is the only way this report could or should be viewed as a legitimate attempt to deal with the past and set some sort of guidelines on how to rid the sport of steroids (which by the way, won't happen in baseball or football unless there is blood testing, and that just ain't going to happen).

I think you are wrong there. What the report does is almost force the hand of Major League Baseball and the Player's Union. Congress will hammer these guys if they don't clean it up themselves.

I hope you are right, but I can't see a sports union allowing blood testing. If Congress hammers baseball and doesn't do anything about football then they are hypocrites. Let me ask you, hasn't there been quite a few football players popped this year? Maybe it's just me but it seems the number of football players has gone up substantially in the past two years compared to five or six years ago.

that simple.

Baseball is a joke. Top to bottom. Selig turned a blind eye to this. I love what Goodall is doing with football. Tags too before him with the cap & parity. Selig needs to go as all this went on under his watch......

I don't think any of them should be punished either. Shit, many of them aren't in the league anymore.

But that is the whole reason for the report, they have proven it is widespread in baseball no one has done the same work in Football that Mitchell did. Union is going to have a tough time explaining that it is not a big issue now, and better testing is not needed. Every time they say that the Report will get thrown right in there face.
