MLB’s reputation and credibility too another massive hit when SI broke the story of A-Rod’s steroid usage.
A-Rod confessed catv but then again,he confessed after everyone knew. As usual Sports Illustrated goes easy on the sports. Even this editorial is soft.
The man too illegal substances. He took substances banner by major league baseball. He was the highest paid player in baseball at the time.
I’m amazed at MLBs stupidity allowing it to happen.

Mclaren’s Heiki Kovalainen crashed hard in Spain after a tire deflated at about 150 MPH. The investigation revealed that the wrong paint was used in one step of the rim manufacturing process. Enkei makes the rims. They make plenty of rims for streetLes jeux passionnants sur Top des компютриpoker en ligne sont fait d’une mani?re professionnelle, pour qu’ils n’aient rien ? pr?tendre ? leurs mod?les r?els. cars. I’m surprised they haven’t gotten more negative press for this.
How does a major modern manufacture not use system to eliminate the ability of people to make these potentially deadly errors? Japan invented Six Sigma. Enkei needs to get their systems and procedures correct.

No, not the final four. Gary Brown of the NCAA is going nuts on community involvement. His new riff is that fan friendly events lead to more revenue, making them by definition “the right thing to do”.
What’s he trying to accomplish?
He wants fans to stop heckling during visiting teams free throws. He wants fans in general to be nice to the opponents.
How are the colleges supposed to make this happen. Don’t punish the offenders, he says, “Rather, overwhelm them with the positive power of community.”
I love this guy.
The NFL is the most pervasive sport in the USA

There are NFL Crocs with team colors, the team logo on the back of the ankle band and the team name twice. NFL Scrubs (although every size of the giants scrubs are out of stock at the moment) and of course an NFL TV network.
Anyway, baseball had a head start and therefore got the “America’s Pastime” tag. But it’s past the MLB’s time and we live in the United States of Football.

Who knew there were so many sports magazines there’s even a Pro Rodeo Sports News. How do they find writers for some of these? Do you aspire to write for Junior Baseball?
Anyway, I wish I could be a fly on the wall today in Indy as they decide who goes on to tournament fame and fortune. How negotiated and corrupt do you think that process is?
The Marion Jones Story!

Marion Jones has disappointed a lot of fans and how?
Marion Jones sailed through approximately 160 drug tests in her drug infested but medal-strewn career.This calls for a very surprising digression!What on earth were the officials doing when she manged to hoodwink half of the world sports committees? AND how on earth did it happen?How did she manage to fool so many officials without even a hint of discovery?
THE sordid story broke when Jones was being investigated for a relation to a weird criminal investigation into the tax anomalies of a Californian laboratory, Balco, which was responsible for inventing and supplying the athlete with the drugs.
Safe to say if the investigation had not started then she would have continued to fool the entire world with her athletic prowess.
We are very disappointed! And all this from a five-medal winner of Olympics gold or was that after the drugs?I’m very very disappointed!
She has since turned in the medals !
John Terry and David Beckham in trouble?

Manager Fabio Capell said there were no guarantees that John Terry would retain his captaincy or even David Beckham would get his 100th cap against Switzerland.
He acknowledged that the captaincy issue was very importanmt and he would do his best to see that a fair and good choice was made.
John Terry has always been the preferred leader of the team and remains the perennial favorite to be Capello’s captain in the long-run, but most importantly no one will discover who will be the reigning captain at least possibly until Sept 6 when England begin their training for the 2010 World Cup with a qualifying match against Andorra.
The main reason for the brouhaha is the current injuries of John Terry causing the rumor that David Beckham was the next in line for the captaincy. A challenge by Arsenal’s Emmanuel Eboue at the Emirates cup on Dec 16 had severely fractured three bones in Terry’s right foot causing a statement of three to six weeks leave by Chelsea.
Although the manager has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors he has definitely stated that a provisional captain may be appointed till a final is deemed necessary.

This is really interesting.We have music world scandals and Hollywood scandals , but the most hits I got on the Internet were related to sport scandals.What is it with sports stars and scandals.The Hollywood bunch happen to look like angels in comparison.
Any way here are a few more and we’re done I don’t want to bore you any more with yet a thousand more scandals.
- Jim Thorpe was the super athlete of almost every sport.He played a mean four-position football, accompanied by an awesome track and field performance. He was also a renowned baseball, basketball, lacrosse and tennis player, as well as a skilled golfer, rower, bowler, pool player and gymnast.A truly amazing athlete who was mistakenly stripped of his medals when according to the rules at that time, he had received payment for his performance as a minor league baseball player in 1909 and1910.As Jim argued he didn’t know any better as he was naive schoolboy at the time.The athlete was stripped of his medals even as he tearfully pleaded his ignorance and innocence to the whole world.
- Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekeich have the weirdest story all around. The players showed up one summer stating that they had traded wives and children along with the dogs.How weird is that! Although I can understand trading the wives,(I’ve wanted to do that to the old ball and chain a few times) why on earth would you want to do something like that to the children and dogs.
Can you imagine the emotional impact on the dogs?
HEHe, HEHE, Just being mean and catty
