Baseball and drugs

What would a geezer say about the drug news from sports? Geezer Bush says they will do something if baseball does not. I wonder if that includes cocaine testing for members of the White House staff and family?

Geezer McCain says the senate will do something if baseball does not. Of course, it was ok for his wife to cut a deal with the government when she was caught with her hand in the percodet jar. The rest of us would have gone to jail for stealing drugs from kids. She went through rehab. The pictures I have seen of her lately mnake you wonder....He will never run for President. The press would have too much fun....

Drugs have been in sports since day one. One time, people thought smokes improved performance. There are great pictures of tour de france riders smoking while they were riding. Hmmm, that test did not work well.

Steroids were first available during Babe Ruth's time. Don't you think the Babe would try them if they were availab.e Booze probably relaxed him too.

Steroids are the latest fad. Who didn't know that players were juiced. All you had to do was look at them. Does anyone care? NOOOOO

Is it a bad example to kids? Of course, but people are willing to take the risks for the rewards. Always will be, always has been. Get real, acknowledge it. Talk about risks and side affects. Get on with life.

We love our pro wrestlers. Don't tell me they are not juiced. We don't want to look at normal people playing. We like the sex of big muscles.

There are more important things to think about. Like deaths in Iraq and a hopless policy against terrorism....

Get real....
