An HBO baseball special does a story about Marlon Byrd working on a supplement regiment with reputed steroid guy Victor Conte. Seems Byrd is aware of the bad PR involved but says he trusts Vic's ability to safely supply him with a variety of supplements that allow him to compete at a high (not stoned) and legal level.

Really Marlon? Really!? Are you fucking kidding me? Cubs brass and Jim Hendry... are you fucking kidding me?

John Wayne Gacy was a great party clown except he liked to rape and murder teenage boys. If he were alive would Marlon hire him for a party based solely on clown ability?

Bernard Madoff was an excellent business man except he also liked to bilk people out of millions of dollars. Would Marlon hire him as a financial adviser?

Marlon, you're clearly cut as hell and sporting big guns lately. That's all fine and good. But a DUMB ASS thing to be showing off while while admittedly getting supplements from the king of PED's - and one who can make them undetectable at that.

Marlon Byrd, you are a fucking idiot. (and who you crappin?)

Safe to say you believe Mike Vick should never work at a pet shop and his brother should never be allowed to babysit.

Conte knows his shit. If it's above board, no big deal.

maybe byrd is repaying conte's loyalty , i remember byrd in philly he was skinny scrawny and fast, like sammy sosa was with white sox. maybe conte kept byrd out of the legal drama and byrd is repaying him by helping him get more clients and get his career back.
