Have you ever been in the car and heard a particular song one on station, then after that song is over, the station goes to a GEICO commercial, you switch to another station but its the same song on. So, you switch to your third option....then fourth......then fifth.......then the dreaded sixth option. And come to find out all the stations are playing the exact song at the same time. You become irritated. Frustrated. So, what do you do? Turn it off.
Six days ago the Mitchell Report came out oozing with Major League Baseball names that had, at some time or another, taken some type of performance-enhancing drug. The 409-page report had big names such as, Barry Bonds, Miguel Tejada, Jason Giambi, and Andy Pettitte. Yet, one name stuck out. Roger "The Rocket" Clemens.
Clemens has seven CY Young awards, the only athlete to appear on five Sports Center commercials and a guaranteed spot waiting on him in Coopers Town. But, not so fast.
Clemens came out yesterday and denied ever using steroids or HGH or anything for that matter. Well, the public has been lied to before. It's like sports athletes have become the little boy who cried wolf.
Remember Marion Jones.
What I'm waiting for is to see the response from the public and the sports media. Will they begin to rip away at everything that Clemens has worked for like they did with Barry Bonds? Or will Clemens get a slap on the wrist?
Cheating isn't new. It's been around for years, decades, generations. So lets not act like we are shocked. The only thing that is shocking is the fact that our so-called superstars are now turning out to be the villains.
Only time will tell to see what happens to Clemens. He denied ever "juicing".
Sure.
But for now, I'm just going to change stations.
Oh look...... Hockey is on.
