Unlike Palmiero, Mark Grace most likely got those numbers with just beer and Marlboro's.

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

They had similar numbers their first few seasons. Palmeiro chose to use steriods and Grace didnt. That was the difference in their careers.

You don't believe it to be true? Go apply for a job as a Police officer and see what the process is like. You take a physical agility/strength test, then a written examination, then a psychological examination (here is the ammo you seek-no doubt) then a Polygraph examination (lie-detector test-kinda eliminates the lying stuff) and then they do a background investigation, usually including going back to the schools and neighbors you went to/grew up around, as well. In the end they usually (except for a large department like Chicago)they will only hire 1-2 officers from a testing pool of 800-over a thousand applicants. Unless you have a degree in criminal justice or Law Enforcement Administration, your chances for employment are nil these days. In almost every Academy class these days, over 90% of the people in the classes have such degrees and of the small percentage that do not, most come from sheriff's departments from more rural locations (Jo Davies County for example). You are still allowed to be an asshole, but you have to be an educated and qualified asshole.


As far as my opinion being one that is differing than many on this subject....is that not the definition of this thread-"My Contrarian Opinion"??? Mine just happens to bring about more of an emotional reaction than some, it seems.

I can speak from personal experience. One of my buddies barely sniffed a 16 on his ACT. Went to the local community college. Took him about 8 years to get his associates. Ended up as a...cop. The other friend scored close to 30 on his ACT, attended U of I, and got his BA in Finance in four years. Ended up joining the Navy shortly thereafter and is now finishing his Masters from the same college.

I think the paint fumes are getting to you, you miserable Caller Bob.

Steroids were not bad for baseball and the era should be viewed no differently than when the height of the pitching mound changed.

Hate crime laws are terrible both in principal and practice.

Aren't all crimes "hate crimes", man? I mean, you never hear about a "love crime".

I wonder about you sometimes.

Cubs fans worry about the Sox far more than Sox fans worry about the Cubs.

Thick is a poor justification for being overweight and an entire generation of men have been brainwashed into accepting the mediocrity.

Elmhurst Steve is not a bad guy just a poor comidian.

Im pretty hammered right now.

Hate crime laws are terrible both in principal and practice.

A-fucking-men.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Jay Z fucking sucks.

This might get me kicked out of The Crew, but McRibs suck.

My guy!

Joe Buck is a great announcer in both sports. The voice of our generation

I'll slit your wrist.
