staring down the barrel of a lifetime ban (which I kinda think he should be).

- Because the Yankees and whatever other team willfully ignored the situation. -- nm - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 12:59 6
  - every team in baseball has / had guys who used PED's and knew about it. - groiny Aug 2, 13:01 5
    - As did Selig. - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:03 4
      - he had to battle the players union to do anything, losing battle. - groiny Aug 2, 13:06 3
        
        Barry Bonds -- nm - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:07 2
        
        what about Barry Bonds? -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 13:08 1
        
        Selig was/is a huge fan. - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:10
- So, let me get this straight. Player X blows out his knee can't play anymore - salary cap hit. Player cheats, gets caught, gets banned - no salary - Jim Aug 2, 12:43 15
  - Are the Patriots going to be hit on the salary Cap for Hernandez? -- nm - amoxy Aug 2, 12:53 4
    - Yep, as soon as they cut him, they took a cap hit. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:56
    - They cut him...so I would think any prorated signing bonus would hit their cap for this year, yes. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 12:55 2
      - and before any allegations have been proved -- nm - zork Aug 2, 12:56
      - Here...the Pats are getting boned on the cap next year. -- (link) - Jim Aug 2, 12:56

    - So, the lesson here is "go ahead and sign all the steroid guys. they get caught...no worries, they'll drop right off your cap"? -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 12:47 3

        It sets up, what I consider to be, an unfair situation. Pujols is a perfect example, IMO - Jim Aug 2, 12:55
  - because the team is still paying the hurt guy. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 12:44 4
    - I don't see why that matters. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 12:48 1
      - the hurt guy will eventually come back (in theory). nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 12:59
    - the insurance company actually, right? -- nm - zork Aug 2, 12:44 1
      - sometimes, it depends on the guy and the injury. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 12:59
