SPORTS
Now that spring training is back, baseball coverage is in full swing. I couldn't be happier. Of course, the whole steriod fiasco is the big topic.
Jason Giambi admitted it in court and his testimony was leaked. Barry Bonds and Gary Sheffield admit use, but claim they didn't know it was steriods. Jose Canseco comes out with a book that rats everyone out.
The whole thing has become a media frenzy... a sports equivalent to Princess Di's death or Michael Jackson's trial. I get the feeling that most people feel the way I do.
Sick. And. Tired. Of. The. Media.
They serve a vital purpose and it isn't a perfect world, but it doesn't mean that I have to pay attention. I feel like the media is always trying to find people in a "gotcha" moment. So much of it is setting people up to say the wrong thing and then skewering them for it. It's just their job but let me say that their job stinks.
The bottom line story is that if you give people a lot of money to play sports and not establish any rules to stop steroid use... guess what... people will use. That's what happened. Anything else is just noise to me.
