wow, this blog is very neglected.
i should fix that. I'll try.
so, the timetable for moving into the house has been moved up significantly. the hope is to be in there by the end of june or there abouts. sweet.
my mma website is still a possibility. right now it hinges on me being able to cover more originizations than the UFC. Notthat I don't love the UFC, but I don't want to be just a UFC site, I want to write about MMA as a whole.

Alex Rodriguez
Did what he did. He admitted to it, he apologized. He couldve held out andsaid nothing, since it seems that the results of those tests could not have been made public without some law being broken somewhere.
He admitted to it.
He apologized.
The greatest player in history.
He admitted to it.
Hopefully we can move past it. It wasn't a long and drawn out process where he was backed into a corner and had no other optionto confess.
The worse part about this is that no matter wehat he says publicly, in his head Jose Canseco is saying " I told you so"

Barry Bonds
Did everybody forget that we live in America?
Whatever happend to innocent until PROVEN guilty?
With Bonds, it seems like everybody is on the GUILTY because someone else said so bandwagon.
The best part about this, is that now even the perjury charges against him are more than likely going to get dropped, because it turns out that the substance he took was not banned by MLB when he took it, was not classified as a steroid by the government when he took, and oh yeah, was not illegal in any way shape or form when he took it. It didn't become any of those things until well after.
I do think steroids in baseball are a problem, and I do think something should be done about it.
But in order for something to be done, there has to be concrete proof. Mass amounts of speculation based on circumstancial evidence, no matter how convincing, is NOT concrete proof.
It seems that at least 50% of cases where a player is torn down for steroid use, it is based on what someone else has said about them.
Alot of people, when denouncing players suspected of steroid usage, will point to the Mitchell report. The Mitchell report, however, contains absolutly NO hard data / verifiable information. That whole report is based on interviews with people. If someone was named in that report it is only because someone else pointed a finger, not because there was any concret facts proving a players guilt. The entire report is based on heresay.
A player should not have to prove their innocence. Their innocence is assumed. It has to be. That is the way the justice system works, the principle that it is based on.
