John, I'm entirely opposite from you on this. If I had my way, he would be banned from baseball and his stats entirely wiped from any record books. Despite the lack of a conviction, there is a preponderance of evidence that approaches OJ levels that Bonds was involved with performance enhancing drugs. Yes, much of this is Selig's fault for being slow to act and then acting impotently when he did.
You used to argue (maybe you still believe this, I dunno) that using such drugs would not actually help a baseball player hit a ball, only allow them to hit it farther. But new studies and personal accounts from players, not to mention the rise in Bonds' overall batting average during a time when most players fall off, contradict this view. The reaction time, the speed with which a player can turn on a ball, in addition to overall power, are all improved by these drugs.
And it scores you no points to argue that Ruth was an alcoholic womanizer and Ty Cobb a dick--none of these things has a direct impact on the game as it is played. The game changes and none of the external conditions are ever the same. This isn't science. But Bonds has been allowed to persist in his pursuit of the game's most cherished record in spite of the evidence surrounding his use of substances to achieve precisely that goal. Frankly, I wish that more people would have stood up to him, ala Curt Schilling. I wish that as he approached the record pitchers would have refused to pitch to him. He is a shameful disgrace, and his presence in baseball diminishes the game each time he plays.
As much as I think A-Rod is a douche, I'm rooting for him to surpass Bonds and take the all time home run leader record.
(And for the record, I do think that it is a vicious double standard that Bonds bears the brunt of all the steroid talk and Roger Clemens gets none, despite the fact that he is also huge and experienced is huge improvement in his stats in the later years [starting with his time as a Blue Jay], when most pitchers are falling off.)

Bonds
...will not be in San Fran next year. Steroids aside, it'll be interesting to see if a team from the American League will be dumb enough to overpay him to DH. I don't doubt he'd be somewhat productive, but he won't play every day even as a DH, and I'm sure he'll demand an unwarranted amount of cash.

Bonds okay by me
This kind of garbage is getting a little old. I'm sick and tired of hearing about how steroids have tainted the game of baseball or how there needs to be asterices (? I have no idea what the plural of asterisk is) after records and what not. And don't hand me this shit about the noble history of the game. For God's sake, Ruth was an alcoholic womanizer and Ty Cobb might have just been the most gigantic penis to ever play a professional sport. Where are their asterices? How are steroids worse than being a drunk or, say, sharpening your cleats and sliding cleats up specifically to hurt opponents (which Cobb did). And I have nothing against either. Entertain me. But all this flack about steroids ruining the game is god damn ridiculous.
The game's played, by and large, by a bunch of highly paid primadonas. Hold outs, tempertanturms and general misconduct have all become a integral part of the every day life of professional sports. Hell, drugs, rape and guns are there, too. Does Kobe get an asterisk next to his name for his performance being enhanced by sexual assault? How about Pacman Jones throwing trash bags of money at strippers as part of his offseason training?
Or how about this: why is there no uproar about Ripken? He's arguably one of the most cherished names in baseball history. Why does it not infringe upon the spirit of the game that he received pain killers and steroid injections to reach his record of consecutive starts (in the process he frequently played only a couple innings just to get the technical "start"). It's easy to be an iron man under those conditions.
Or what about the fact that the early players didn't have offseason training or weights or trainers or any of the other ridiculous advantages that players today have. They had to spend their non-baseball time working at the mills. So why do we not asterisk all players of the modern era since they make enough money to dedicate their whole life to the sport. That certainly enhances their abilities and chances at the record books, steroids or no. A different ball's used now than it was in Ruth's day. Does that mean all the records get asterisked? Parks, on average, are smaller. Asterisk it.
Singling out steroid use and making those who get caught (incidentally, Bonds has never actually been caught positive for steroid use - say what you want about how big he is, but if you're gonna mark him down for all time as a steroid user, you need to have the positive results) using them in the pursuit of records is just ridiculous with all the other changes the game has undergone over the years. Does it give a competitive advantage? Probably. But it's a competitive sport. The only thing currently unfair about it is that because there's such a fuss over their use (government has no business sticking its nose in professional sports - if this is one of the hot topics on Congress's to-do list with everything else that's going on I label them a bunch of cowardly pansies to turn their attention away from their real job to make themselves look good by infringing upon an issue outside of their domain), many players are afraid to use them. If they were made available to all athletes, there would be even playing field. You don't have to use them, just like you don't have to train all winter, but it's an option if you think it will help keep you at the competitive pinnacle of your game.
So enough with the asterisk and game tainting talk. If you really want to talk about ruining baseball, your time would be more productively spent talking about Bud Selig. You don't need an asterisk to be in the record books as the worst commissioner ever.

Re: Alaska
Bert:
The standing governer at the time lost the GOP primary to Sarah Palin. People up there love her. The former governer's daughter, Senator Lisa Murkowski is also (although less) popular. Stevens is an old gasbag. I don't watch the daily show, but last summer a friend in Alaska pointed out this to me; it merely shows how out of touch the ruling class is:
I think I posted it before, but it still makes me laugh.

Alaska
Is your governor (governess?) any good, Slaps?
From the Corner at NRO:
Remember that Bridge to Nowhere? [David Freddoso]
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a wildly popular conservative, announced plans to abandon the bridge on Friday.
An added bonus as the Club for Growth releases its Alaska polling results:
According to poll numbers released by the Club for Growth PAC in July, Republican primary voters in Alaska are fed up with their representatives’ wasteful spending. 66% of respondents disapproved of spending taxpayer dollars on the "Bridge to Nowhere," while 71% favored cutting federal spending even at the cost of reducing Alaska’s share of federal funds.
Furthermore, it is clear that these same Alaska Republicans are rallying to reformer Sarah Palin over the ethically-challenged porker Ted Stevens. According to never-before released poll numbers, the Club for Growth PAC found that Governor Palin has a sky-high favorability rating of 89% among Republican primary voters and an unfavorability rating of only 4%! In addition, Governor Palin would clean Senator Stevens’ pork-filled clock in a head-to-head primary challenge, winning 56%-32%.

Football and such
1) Calling a timeout is not cowardly. It's good coaching.
2) God hates the Bengals. (as do the refs apparently. How is a ball that never hits the ground incomplete? Hasselbeck caught it, ran with it, and was tackled. Then he got up and convinced the refs. that what they had witnessed was all an illusion. Then it couldn't be challenged even though no one ever signaled incomplete or blew a whistle.)
3) Bob Costas and Keith Olberman have to go. I can't stand them. I watched NFL network before the game and at halftime.

Now see, what I don't get Bert, is that you are doubting the word of the Queen of the Space Unicorns. If you even understood half of what he was going through, I'll bet you'd be less eager to criticize him.

Dan Rather sues CBS
From NRO: In the suit, Rather alleges that he was forced to apologize for the Bush story as part of a conspiracy by top CBS management to ensure that no further damaging revelations about the president’s time in the Texas Air National Guard would become public. Rather also alleges that CBS hired a private investigator to re-report the original story — after Rather threatened to hire his own private eye to do the same thing — and that the investigator found the story to be accurate, only to have his findings suppressed by CBS as part of an effort to curry favor with the Bush White House. Finally, Rather alleges that CBS fired him over the story the day after Bush was reelected, despite his later claims that his departure was separate from the Bush story.
Is there really someone out there who believes CBS is a friend to the Bush Administration?
Sad, pathetic man.

RIP Robert Jordan
The pantheon of fantasy authors is diminished. His books were intriguing (at least at the start) and he had a grand vision that will probably now never reach fruition (though, it seemed unlikely it would have while he was alive).
Imho, Wheel of Time began great and then was crushed by the twin pressures of overserialization from the publisher and Jordan's own massive ego. I went to see him at a book reading, and he spent the first ten minutes lecturing the audience on how to pronounce the names of his characters, because apparently we were all getting it wrong and this really irked him.
Anyone who's read the series has to admit that the later books... maybe 6-9, were stuffed with unnecessary padding, to the point where they were a near thousand pages of fluff with one hundred pages of action at the end. This became Jordan's mode of operating in the later years, and it made reading his books such a chore that I gave up entirely. All the while he insisted that the series would have closure, that dangling plots would resolved, that all would be well and his prodigiously overstuffed world would make sense in the end.
Well, here's the end, and Jordan fans may never get their resolutions, unless his notes and outlines are as detailed as his survivors claim.
But I suppose it makes us more thankful that some writers have the vision and forethought to actually bring their series to conclusion (Rowling, Bakker, etc.). I'm not faulting Robert Jordan for dying--only for choosing to spend a good chunk of years, during which he knew he was afflicted with a debilitating disease, writing more fluff, including a set of prequels to WoT.
The only way Wheel of Time can be redeemed, in my opinion, is if a thoughtful and devoted editor takes up the entire project, books 1-12, and pairs them down into an abridged series. I imagine this would be roughly half the length of the original.

Catching up
On Bin Laden: That was horrible. I couldn't get all the way through that diatribe if you held a gun to my head. I also think it has to be a bad translation (i.e., the translator isn't that fluent in English). It can't be that the translation is just so thorough and subtle that it is catching the way Bin Laden sounds in Arabic: nobody that ineloquent could ever rise to a position of power. (...oh wait. I guess they could...maybe even right here in America....)
On cheating: For some reason, I don't hate the Patriots. I don't like them...not at all, but I don't hate them either, which is weird since most of my responses to sports are governed by who I hate least in a given situation. That said, I don't think it's excessive to take the draft pick. There's a clear new rule on the matter, and the Commish has set the tone of busting ass to make an example. It is embarrassing that super-genius got caught, so I say screw him. (Besides, it's only a 1st/2nd and 3rd pick. If you really want to screw the Pats, you should take away their 6th and 7th round picks...really stick it to 'em).
On offensive lines: Very, very important. A quarterback's skill is also very important, but everything starts in the trenches. Like Lou Holtz says, "Show me your offensive line and your defensive backs, and I'll tell you how good your football team is."

Cheating, etc.
I think the biggest problem with the Patriots is that they got caught (after all, if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'). Yea every other team does it, but no other team gets caught. Perhaps because they don't send a guy with a camera to the other team's sideline. Really, Belichick? You're hailed to be one of the greatest and most brilliant coaches in the history of the game and that's your spy tactic? I'm very disappointed. I expected some sort of fancy trickery or magicking from you. Like something it would take two whole episodes for the Scooby Doo gang to solve. You'd lead them on a merry chase leaving false trails and fake clues to throw them off the scent and at the end they'd finally catch the suspect in a ghost house or pirate ship and take the mask off the guy with the camera and....GASP! It's old man Belichick! It was him all along! So that's how the dirty old hoodie tied in with the rest of the clues.
But no. You instead employ the worst spy ever who wears his Patriots clearance badge on the fricking Jets' sideline while he's taping. Brilliant. Scrappy Doo coulda solved that one alone, without needing even the half-assed, pot induced, munchie driven bumbling of Shaggy and Scooby. So shame I say! Shame on Belichick. Not for cheating, but for being so easily caught.
As for the OL importance, I think it's tremendously important to a QB's success. That's why Brady is so good every year even when he doesn't have good WR. However, I think Peyton is a poor example to use. He is a wizard after all. You can put Peyton in Cleveland and he'd still have some modicum of success, though not as great. And I think alot of it has to do with the offensive coordinator as well as talent (look what Texas is doing so far this season with not much talent that rates above average by NFL standards). Also, I think there are times when horrid defense makes an OL look way better. For example I'm sure nobody believes Cleveland's line is as good as it looked against the Bengals (sorry Bert, but that defense is craptastic - to cheer you up though, here's a funny joke I heard on the radio: What do you call a drug ring in Cincy? A huddle!). In the end, I think probably a good QB can compensate for an average OL whereas the alternate is not necessarily true. This is why Baltimore won't win another Super Bowl with McNair under center and why Chicago will be lucky to make it to the Championship game again. Both teams have stellar OLs but not so great QBs. Plus God hates Brian Urlacher.

My prediction:
The Pats will be THE team to beat this year. Tom Brady is phenomenal. The defense is great. Just calling it now. 14-2 (1 loss to the Jets or Buffalo)
Anyway, how much of it is QB, how much offensive line? I say 50/50? Seriously, w/out his OL Peyton is at least 70% less good. Discuss.

Cheating?
This business of videotaping opposing team's signals actually surprises me. I always assumed teams already did this. Taking away a first round draft pick? That seems grossly excessive. I fail to see how this is cheating. Realistically, it's only going to help you 3 games a year at best (ie, 2 regular season games and 1 potential playoff game). Are you really tell me no other teams try to crack their opponents secret signals? Bull.
And then assholes like this want Belichick suspended just so the Pats don't go to the Superbowl. What a bunch of petty fucks.

WTF bin Laden?
If you're interested, theres a transcript of bin Laden's video here. I haven't gotten through it yet, due in large part to the fact that I have to reread things to figure out what the hell he's trying to say, and even then I'm often unsuccessful. Is this even real? Is he trying to reason with me, personally? Cuz I don't care about global warming or famine in Africa or the Vietnam War; it's a pleasant temperature outside, I've got plenty to eat and it ended thirty years ago. If he really wants to appeal to me, he should work on getting me some Muslim hookers. Burkha's (sp?) are hot.*

Wolverines, college football, etc.
It seems to me that the concept of schedule strength can only be awarded retrospectively, especially in college where a team's "goodness" is based on the voting. I don't watch much college football for the precise reason that it boils down to a popularity/money making contest to award champions, but it still seems like we should wait until the season is over to assess the difficulty of schedule. Wasn't it last season where OSU faced three teams ranked #2 at the time of contest? Where did the not Gators teams end up "ranked?"
I guess I don't have anything else to say to occupy the aforementioned etc. in the title, but I'll be jiggered if I'll delete it now.

Wolverines
I am also conflicted over their crappiness. On the one hand, it delights me to see them look like losers. It's also great to see fewer and fewer people proudly wearing their urine and blue clothing. However, they are sucking so bad that it is dragging down the rest of the Big Ten's stock. And since Ohio State didn't really schedule anyone tough (other than Washington, sort-of), our strength of schedule is really depleted. I don't know. I guess I'll just not watch UM play any more.

How 'bout those wolverines?
I have mixed feelings about the losses by that team up north, schadenfreude and concern that they are hurting the Big Ten right now.
But, mostly enjoying it.

Kickoff
Whose wonderful idea was it to have Kelly Clarkson (looking very chubby), John Mellencamp, and Faith Hill start the football season? Because that's what football fans want?!
Nothing like John Mellencamp to put a damper on a happy day. I was sick of that damn Chevy commercial the first time I saw it. I had to mute commercials last year just to watch football without going insane.
All this hoopla is a little ridiculous. Something tells me Vince Lombardi would be a little disappointed. It's a little overblown. It's football. Yes, we love it, but it's not that important.
Let's just talk some football, and play some football.
And oh, yeah, how the hell did Rich Eisen get to be so high-profile in the sports/football world?
