Alex Rodriguez is probably the biggest name to ever receive disipline for PED use, and he lost an entire season of his prime. I’d say that was a pretty big deal.

A-Rod?

It’s almost like being middling outfielder for 15 years doesn’t qualify someone to head a labor union.

Right on.

In the NHL, young players can get a real contract after basically 2 years in the league. Also, anyone above the age of 25 is an unrestricted free agent after their contract.

the whole arbitration process is setup to keep salaries low and to make matters worse you need I think 3 yrs in the bigleagues to qualify so for instance Mike trout won the MVP before he was arbitration eligible and was pulling in 510K

Yeah, the problem here is the system is still hardwired around retroactively rewarding your performance when you finally hit FA, but there are no front offices left that believe that’s a smart way to spend money.

Janae Rice apologizes for her role in this event.

I briefly considered sticking up for Sosa’s induction into the HoF, but then I thought, “Fuck it...there’s already enough white guys in there.”

It’s the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Fair Play. If you leave all these “steroid-era” guys out, does that mean guys we don’t like now should get taken out of the Hall?
