I find it interesting that you condemn and then are OK with cheating in the same post.
And I find it interesting that you make no distinction between murder and jaywalking.
I believe you said you're fine with Rose breaking the rules but have an issue with PED users breaking the rules. If I misread your post, I apologize.
Jockey - I'm not fine with Rose breaking the rule. He (rightfully) has suffered for his sins, I just don't think betting on your own team TO WIN or on other games is cheating the game or your opponents. Anabolic steroids and HGH (IMO) is. Sorry if I was unclear.

If the media had done a better job of reporting, much of the steroid nonsense could have been nipped in the bud.
That’s a dumb take. Blaming the media?
Hmm. Just dumb eh. I was trying to get to your level but I guess I still have to decay a bit. Not blaming the media. But they were accessories. Do you think reporters covering Bonds etc. did their jobs well and asked the right questions? Think any of them maybe sat on information for better access? Did they spread nonsense stories about new bats? Did they get caught up in what they were covering so much so they missed obvious signs of steroid usage?Clearly it was the players fault. Then a combo of the MLBPA and the MLB. But the media played a role. They media failed at reporting the truth (which used to be their job). Even after Ken Caminitti. During Sosa and McGwire. All throughout Bonds' chase and 100 more examples. They were complicit or oblivious. Neither is much better than the other.Passan makes no sense. He had no problem voting previously as the Hall included all those people about which he wrote that are now so objectionable. He didn't seem to care until Joe Morgan stood up for what he thinks the Hall means. That makes no sense. So if that is how Passan regards the privilege of his HOF vote, the process is better off without him.
I think your take was dumb. I think this post is even dumber.
I don’t respect your opinions on the matter. They are poor.
Sultan, I am usually on your side. Not this time. It is not enough to say "your opinion is poor." Explain your rationale.
I don’t care if it is not enough in your eyes. Or anyone else’s.
No buck. You don’t understand. I think you are almost always wrong. Therefore my opinion is validated. Got it?
