the US congress is trying to jail a man for using a legal med & 'perhaps' choosing to keep his medical plan private..

.. often mentioned by call-in dummies is a home run record or a career spanning to many years.

 

me, I lubed seeing roger smoke 1 past a blinking bat-er .. or barry / mark wallop the ball outa sight.

 

If the goal is to level the playing field in sport should other modern medicine be ruled out.

contact lens, arthroscopic surgery, non-bath tub gin (how good could the Babe have been with aged gin?)

hows bout we keep steroids & legally prescribed meds in different categories.

 

the crystal meth / roid MMA sounds interesting .. I'd watch

or 'lude enhanced roller derby.

 

the issue I see is perjury / jail for violating a company's (MLBB) rule.

many company's now have a non-smoking rule .. jail for lying 'bout smoking

I can't imagine why baseball players would need anything to enhance their performance, I mean they're all fat fucks who do little more than wave a bat at a ball while rarely making contact and then go for a wee jog around the diamond.

Isn't there a Kurt Vonnegut story about a society where they prevent any kind of greatness because they want a level playing field. No great atheletes, minds, musicians, dancers, etc.

 

Damn good story. Wish I could remember it.

I was trying to find Tommy Lasorda's classic baseball vs. golf rant in retort to Munchie...couldn't find it.

 

Meanwhile, I found this (though I'm sure 90% of us have already seen it). Are you sure that society you're talking about aint our own?

CNN in Atlanta USA mandated a rule - no employees allowed smoking. No smokers hired. No smoking period. This was after Ted Turner ruled.

 

Well . . . hmmmm . . . that didn't quite work as they desired. They couldn't get good people to work long hours for cheap money.

 

Smoking rule ban at CNN withdrawn.

Congress makes an example of anyone that lies to them. Okay, its the law but its also about their collective egos. We're the Congress, we want the truth all the time from you even though we regularly lie to the American people.

 

Okay, rant over.

 

Its not like he was lying over something important. A lie is a lie but c'mon? Which brings up another point. The Congress should be staying the hell out of sports. Waste of taxpayer time and money.
