Ok It is time to RE- Hash a old and sore subject... STEROIDS!

For well over the last 2 seasons of Baseball there has been a "ON GOING" never ending 24/7 coverage of the use of "Performance Enhancing Drugs" During this time there has been very little coverage in the other 3 major physical sports (Football, Basketball and Hockey) involving PEDs. Yes Shawn Merriman was suspended for steroid use but it was a 15 second blip on ESPN and conversation over.

Come on wake up! What do you think the percentage of Football Players are that are that are shooting up a "undetectable" form of PEDs so that they can grow to be 10 times the size of a normal human being.

Basketball Players have to be in "TOP" Shape to run up and down a court over 90 games a year but you do not hear about the use of PEDs, BUT you do hear about them smoking pot and doing other recreational drugs, staying out all hours of the night fighting in bars and taking pop shots with there hand guns.

The thing that I find to be MOST interesting is that the sport that has been bashed the most for being "DEAD" to the eyes of a viewer is the NHL. Talk radio outside of the true Hockey Faithful laughs and jokes about the NHL, well... INSERT THE RANT.

             The NHL has god gifted men who are out there day in and day out playing a boys game, these guys give there heart and soul to be a team and play a sport "TOGETHER" to achieve the ultimate prize.

The sport is fast paced non stop action that even on TV keeps the mind stimulated. Yes there is fighting in this sport but lets think about what other sport has fighting... HMMMM ALL OF THEM! 9 times out of 10 when hockey players are done beating the snot out each other they have buried the hatchet and continue on, some times those guys will meet up after a game and have dinner together.

You don't hear about a Hockey player being involved in Bar Brawls, shootings at strip clubs, branishing a gun in some guys face or being suspended for , Pot, or any other Recreational Drugs, ODD you don't hear about Hockey Players being suspended for Performance Enhancing Drugs either.

Hockey Players are normally nice guys that go home when they are done playing the game, they have families and are close to them as well as thankful to there Moms and Dads, They are media friendly and support there communities with many of charities and events to raise money for the needs of the community.

So take note MEDIA and other bashers of the game of Hockey when it boils done to it the roll model sports figure should be a Hockey Player.

Recently I posted a blog on the Trade deadline and the Detroit Tigers. I would like to thank those who conversed with me on this topic, however there is a #### among us! I know it suprises America that somewhere in the midwest there could possibly be a real living breathing waste of gene pool but I swear on my life it is true. I did not need to search for this rare breed instead it came right to me like a tamed animal in the woods.

His name? JCJA. He was so kind to come into my blog and trash on my team and town they play in, here would be the comments from my newly found low IQ'ed Bloggernaut.

 

"who really cares about Detroit, this is a town that is considered a wastepit for all athletes...what about the fact that MLB snubbed Joe Mauer out of starting the All-Star Game? I guess that it shows the stupidity of fans. The real loosers are the fans around the country, whom will not be able to see the best catcher start the all star game...only a has been who is better off as a dh...The fans in Det. need to find something else to do other than vote for a catcher who is only batting his weight of 290 and has only 7hr...what a sham...maybe the Motor City Kittys will have 6-8 guys in the Pro Bowl next year as well. "

Now JCJA let me get this right you refer to the city as a waste pit correct? I have to ask when was the last time it was you came over here to see what is being done to change the skyline and the image, I am thinking you might have gotten off of you John Deere long enough to come in from plow fields and milking cows long enough to spit some trash on something you are ignorant about.

In the Summer of 2004 the Illitch family and Ford family attended the City of Detroit counsil meeting to place the office on notice... "CLEAN UP OR WE WILL" was the words that came out of it, the reason? Glad you asked JCJA it was simple, starting in summer of 2005 till sometime around 2008 the City of Detroit was going to play host to many of major sporting events. The All Star Game, The Super Bowl, The NCAA final 4, The NCAA Frozen 4 and much more. Since that day the City is really taking shape and there are many businesses coming back into the downtown area including resturants, bars, hotels and luxery condos.

Suprised? I for one am not, while I do not live in Detroit it is a town that I frequant and refer to as my own being it is the major city in our wonderful state and it needs everyone to support it.

The part of the comment you made being a wastepit suggest that you are refering to the town, but I could be wrong I can also read into you calling ownership a wasteland. Is that what you meant? Hmmmmm let me see what has that ownership done to be considered that... OH! I got it the Illitch Family has reconstructed a Baseball team in a major 4 sport town that has now started to make the Twinkies a whipping child for years of punishing the Tigers is that it? I could be wrong maybe it is also the simple fact that from Single A to AAA they are now stronger then ever and that does not boad well for your Twinkes Organization. Or could it be that the Illitch family has taken the attention away from the " Hockey State " and brought in " Hockey Town "? Not sure but I am thinking that you suddenly woke up one morning and realized that the sub .500 team that played last year suddenly put you in a hole you cant seem to climb out of and what a way to take it out right?

JCJA I wish you had the facts correct about the catcher postion but then again grabbing cow udders all day so you can supply us with americas dairy needs has got to make a man lose his marbles. Next time you are watching the Twinkies take on whoever watch how effortless it becomes for a runner to advance 90ft down the line because of his great ability to gun down the runner in a steal attempt outside of A.J. Dirtbag of the Chicago White Sox I dont think there are to many catchers with his inadequate arm. If my memory serves me correctly there have been 25 stolen bases this year against your All Star hopeful ranked right behind A.J. Dirtbag with 42, Pudge on the other hand lets see what was it???? Oh right I got it 9. There have been 18 attempts and 9 have been sent back to the dugout to explain why they #### up thats 50%. But let me give you a little credit Twinkie can swing a bat and we wil get to see that in the All Star game after the running game has been shut down by Pudge and the A.L. has a comfortable lead in the game.

JCJA I wish you well in the attempt to have a new Twinkie Dome built considering your other one is a falling apart football field that ruins the careers of many who play there with the fake lawn you have in place. Good luck in you attempts to dig outof the self made hole your twinkies have put themselves in, good luck in getting your pathetic excuse of a basketball team out of the first round in the playoffs next year, good luck in your efforts to try to get a hockey team to stay in your state and maybe they to could get into the playoffs as well, and I REALLY WISH you well in keeping your football players off "THE BOAT".

Until then run back out and milk us some cows and pick us some corn eh we are all hungry! Thanks Dumb Dumb for the trash attempt!
