We learned nothing from today's report..

I don't believe I was addressing you Dan.
I was talking to Voice. He penned some extremely vague and possibly-misleading things about what was transpiring on your show. I was listening to B and B at the time, and just wanted some clarification on what was going on down the dial.
I didn't care that he brought your family into the discussion, especially your children. BTW, how is your autistic son doing? I work with someone who has an autistic child -- also a son. My heart goes out to you, since you conduct fund raising activities for autism.
Back to Voice. I also didn't understand his ire.
Up to this point, I still don't know what he was talking about.
I don't have an issue with your show on Thursday. I posted earlier that it's your show and you can steer it the way you choose.

1 - ex senator
1 - paranoid baseball commish
1 - players union
30 - owners
15yrs - of MLB players
and
60 Millions Dollars

To answer a question we already knew.

PLAYERS ARE USING STEROIDS!
and
news flash, not just the ones who are "listed"

Not one superstar in his prime was named in this report. I find that a little disturbing and unrealisitic. This was nothing more then a ploy to save their own asses and make it LOOK like they give a dam, when in reality baseball only cares about revenue and their image.

The report was a joke, I don't blame anyone who treats it as one.

Seems VOR has a bone to pick.

Juiced thanks for posting an opinion about what the report does say, all be it nothing we all didn't have a good idea was happening. It would have been interesting to hear MJH touch on one of the points that George Mitchell made a number of times in his address. That these players are examples to a great deal of young athletes all over the world, good or bad and hopefully this will help them see that drug use is wrong and can and will be addressed.
Playing by the rules as I remember it was the best way to compete as a Little Leaguer, High School player and as a NCAA athlete. We know why these guys have taken steroids / HGH so they can "kkep up" with those that are taking jobs because of cheating.This steroid/substance issue has long roots to young athletes and has already been deadly on a number or fronts. Addressing this issue and how parents/coaches can address the problem ,I feel, would have made for better, more mature radio yesterday than what I heard. MJH are better than what I heard yesterday.

Test for Smart People..... I have determined that you qualify. The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be classified as a smart person. Scroll down for each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult. But don't scroll down UNTIL you have answered the question! 1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way. 2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator? Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator? Wrong Answer. Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions. 3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend.... except one. Which animal does not attend? Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory. Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities. 4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it? Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes. Send this out to frustrate all of your smart friends as I have done. How did you do Mac? Did you giggle and snicker?

My Dear Friend Voice, I have a test for you. Q. Do you cut and paste worthless, old, and exhausted email tests onto a forum that has nothing to do with the subject of your post? If the answer if yes, you are an idiot. You should immediately remove yourself from the gene pool (afterall it's adult swim time now, boy) and go hit the showers. Your Dear Friend Evil P.S., you're not very original. I would work on your bit and come back whe you are ready.

I guess it's a good thing that I'm listening to B and B, Voice. You seem to be saying that they aren't really talking about the report.

I am exceedingly happy for you, Gus. I'd ask you what significant things B & B unearthed, but the fact is, I don't give a shit. We learned nothing from today's report... other than that baseball players are, in large number, as illegit as football players. Tomorrow... back to the games people play. And we'll have fun with it with or without you.

Juiced, did you read the part of the post where I said -- that I was LISTENING TO B AND B? If I'm such a brown-noser, what would I be doing listening to the competition. All I did was ask him about his son -- and now I'm blindly loyal to the man. Love your logic.

This thread is so creepy and weird that you'd think this was the B&B section.

Playing by the rules as I remember it was the best way to compete as a Little Leaguer, High School player and as a NCAA athlete. We know why these guys have taken steroids / HGH so they can "kkep up" with those that are taking jobs because of cheating.This steroid/substance issue has long roots to young athletes and has already been deadly on a number or fronts. Addressing this issue and how parents/coaches can address the problem ,I feel, would have made for better, more mature radio yesterday than what I heard. MJH are better than what I heard yesterday.

Do you really need them to say kids shouldn't take steroids?
