Nah, he’s a prick with borderline numbers :)

Isn’t the evidence against A-Rod far more damning, though? Not arguing that attitude doesn’t play a role ...

Yeah, but you look a McGwire before he was juicing, and he could hit, but he couldn’t hit like that. And he was a giant, oblivious prick about it, saying things like, “I don’t know what it is, shots that would have been ten feet short are now going over the wall.” Yeah, no shit, your arms are the size of my waist, and…

How is Desmond Howard a “token”? He’s a former Heisman winner who’s been doing Gameday commentary for years.

I can’t really hear what they’re saying. Can anyone else make it out?
