Barry Bonds hits home run #756; and while his fans and family are happy, I’d dare say many others aren’t.
Look, kids. There is no evidence to prove the fella cheated. He’s said he’s not taken any performance-enhancers (read: steroids), not to mention he’s yet to fail a drug test. However, there are those who seem to think the tests are a load of crap. Quite honestly, I think most of their collective puckered lips are still attached to Hank Aaron’s backside. Or the Babe’s dead-and-possibly-long-decayed one. (If Babe Ruth were alive now, he’d have been long booted from the league, given his penchant for alcohol and being drunk on game days.) Of course, the same haters are now pining for the day when someone (A-Rod?) will surpass Bonds, if only so Bonds will no longer hold the record.
On the front page of the CBS Sportsline website, as I type this, they have the headline “756*”. IMO, disgusting. Can you say “lack of journalistic integrity”? (But then… ;))
Sigh.
Comments are turned off for this post.
I hope all you Colts fans are happy now.
And that ESPN’s commentators will shut up about Peyton Manning.
And that the fella himself just goes away already.
From 2008 till at least 2012/13, there will be no more CFL on CBC.
This summer, TSN (Canada’s answer to ESPN) inked a deal with the Canadian Curling Association so it can broadcast all of Canada’s major curling tournaments (Canadian Juniors, Tournament of Hearts (Women’s Championship), and the Brier (Men’s Championship)) and the Worlds. Before that, CTV (it and TSN are part of the Bell-Globalexpress family) picked up the rights to air the 2010 and 2012 Olympics in Vancouver and London (respectively). What’s next for them? Hockey Night in Canada? That’s, pretty much, all the Ceeb has left of any major significance in regards to sports programming!
