Barry Bonds and Theismann as moral police

I think most of us can agree we don't care about Bonds anymore, even though he "passed" Ruth on the all-time list. This is Bonds in a nutshell, he is one of the great baseball players of all time before steroids. He was a 500 hr, 500 steal guy before he decided he needed a size 9 head and to let his body blow up at 35. I mean if you did not know he took steroids before MLB and the government decided to clamp down you don't know baseball, or don't know the capabilities of the human body. So when baseball and the media realized players were on steroids about two years after all the fans figured it out, somehow Bonds got off since he was "injured" all of last year. The real reason was he held or was going for multiple baseball records and it would look really bad if he was implicated. So he was allowed to continue playing and strive for the home run record, while the media follows his every move. All of his at-bats from 713-715 were shown live on espn interrupting whichever program was on to watch him struggle to get the bat around. The fans don't care about him anymore though and are just frustrated by the attention he is receiving. The fans don't consider his record clean, and still consider Ruth and Aaron the holders of the record. Then the media complains he is getting too much attention, which makes sense because they are the whole problem. Why do they keep rewarding this guy with attention when he is mean to fans and the media and he clearly cheated? If they focused 1/10th of their attention on Pujols or one of the many great stories in baseball this year people would forget about Bonds and all the bad media. But hey I don't run ESPN and don't know how to overkill every story, so who am I to say?

Apparently Theismann is the NFL secretary of moral fiber since he is embarassed to be a Toronto Argonaut (which was surprising to learn he was proud of that fact) now that they signed Ricky Williams. But he is not embarassed by the steroid and drug use in the NFL in the 1980s along with players like Jamal Lewis (drug trafficking), Ray Lewis (double homicide), and Dhani Jones (dancing) getting arrested or convicted for crimes. Ricky Williams is just dumb, he is not a bad person he just like the whacky tobaccy a little too much and can't figure out why this drug which is illegal so he keeps doing it. He is also slightly selfish retiring and getting suspended and leaving his team. The fact that Theismann put Williams on a pedastal above other players being embarassing, and the fact that he mentions he was in the CFL is also embarrassing. Just like Bonds, we should stop giving Williams attention for doing this stuff and not players who are doing good things.

Proof of the toughness of Philly, birds could could be worst than terrorists, and "Oh wow that where I left that oil!"

Two kids get shot in Olney, but the school shakes off this weekly Philadelphian ritual and continue school as planned. That or they did not want kids walking the streets of Olney with everyone getting shot. Either way no one shakes off seeing a shooting like us Phillites.

Holy crap the government and media is overreacting to something else other than terrorists! And it could be worse than terrorists! Seriously though let's stop comparing the amount of people dying to terrorism. How many people in America have died as a result of terrorism since 9/11, like 2 maybe from anthrax. We are acting like terrorism is such an issue when gas prices are 3 dollars a gallon, an entire city is being rebuilt, and poverty is a serious issue. Plus until it starts I am not gonna lose sleep over this "pandemic" that I've been promised.

How do you just find 1.7 million barrels of oil and 2.1 million barrels of gasoline. This is not like finding your keys, or a hooker in your trunk, that is a lot of oil. Enough to lower to price of a barrell by 3 percent. With these observation skills I have no idea how we haven't found Osama yet.

Those are the wrong balls! and Colors

There is not much to say about this article except for it's fantastic headline. Is it wrong that I hoped testy was a double entandre before i read the article, and was pleased ESPN resorted to using it.

Second I was watching a commerical for Sherman Williams and here are a couple of the responses from the "actors":

"Red makes you want to stop" well usually I just fly threw red lights, especially since the Phillies "red means go" campaign. But now thanks to sherman williams I stop.

"Colors rock!" Yeah colors are extreme wooooo colors, we'd be in black and white without them wooooooooo! Yeah!
