During the latest round of the San Francisco Witch Hunts or the BALCO Grand Jury, whichever name you prefer, Greg Anderson slipped in the name of the NFL Golden Boy Tom Brady. Anderson is either a genius or just fell upon dumb luck. Either way, Tom Brady is not so lucky. Now Brady’s good name is being cast with the likes of Trevor Graham, Marion Jones, Victor Conte, Jason Giambi, and Barry Bonds. Brady may have never used steroids, but he may be called to testify just because Greg Anderson mentioned his name.
The reportsays that Brady called him looking for a place to train and that was the extent of their phone conversation. The report also makes it look like Greg Anderson just slipped Brady’s name into the testimony, but my guess is that he was asked about the phone call. Remember that the feds have the phone records and you can bet they have traced every one of those numbers. Also, if you look at the testimony, the wording of the way Anderson responded looks like he is answering a question.
Also, the reporters who broke this story said Brady’s name appeared on a list of athletes that might be subpoenaed to appear before the Grand Jury and that Anderson needs to be ready to testify about his relationship with all of them.
If Tom Brady wants to repair his image before it becomes permanently tied to this case, he needs to come forth and explain to the world the reasons why he missed the first two days of training camp. Everyone was hush-hush about those two days. If it was for medical reasons just come out and say so because the less we know the more we speculate. Has anyone on the list tied to Victor Conte ever escaped without damage to their reputation? I don’t think so. Brady has some questions to answer and I hope he does so soon. I for one believe him if he says he never used steroids, but then again Barry Bonds and Raffy Palmeiro said the same thing.
Just perusing a few headlines over the week and thought I would pose a few questions based upon that content. Run your mouse over the links to see my answers.
What if:
Tom Brady did use steroids? Should he be stripped of his Super Bowl rings?
Floyd Landis’ cheating caused the suicide of his father in law?
Annika Sorenstam, was not competing against media darling Michelle Wie, would the press even notice that she won again last week running her total to 82 victories world wide?
Just a few of the puzzling questions that I deal with on a day to day basis and none of them have easy answers. I have my opinions, but I would like to hear yours. I will respond to each and every one as I have time.
