“For those of you who don’t pay attention to other sports…”

There is the impression that this site is populated by young kids, not sports fans.

More and more the dragging of the feet by NFL players, is sounding like they all know more than they want anyone to find out.

Too bad they didn’t do this before the owners sanctioned the players to wipe their asses with the record books. There are precious few baseball men left among the baseball owners and Bud Selig is worse at his job than anybody I’ve ever seen. That said, I’m glad to see them take positive steps to clean up the sport. I hated 10-9 slugfests every day and half a dozen shortstops hitting over 30 HR a year.

The NFL institutes all changes grudgingly and at their own pace. It is certainly no exaggeration to say the owners have little regard for the ultimate health and well being of their players. The mentality of the game is such that players are put in position to essentially share that view themselves. You can see this in the resistance to crackdowns on violent hits. Playing football is bad for you and the proliferation of drugs that make players bigger, faster, stronger and more aggressive isn’t necessary for an entertaining sport. The fact that their are long term health issues related to unregulated used of PEDS is reason enough to ban them from the sport.

This is all about money.

First there will be heavy $ fines to those that test positive. Another revenue source for MLB.
Probably then a reinstatement fee as well.

The rich getting richer.

I guess MLB wants to get rid of the drugs and the NFL doesn’t…pretty simple

Sounds to me like football is just dragging their feet waiting for their players to make sure to get the HGH out of their system before they start testing them for it.
