Well, a lot of baseball fans don't care, either. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 4, 18:12 5
- Not all baseball fans care about every cheater, but almost all of us are mad at at least a couple. - TFox Aug 4, 18:13 4
  - Friday night watching hte Sox fans give Papi a standing O made me sick. - Will Hunting Aug 4, 18:15 2
    - Yeah, most fans are mad at those on other teams. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 4, 18:24
    - I am reserving the right to decide on a feeling about Ortiz until he actually makes his full statement and answers questions. - TFox Aug 4, 18:19
  - I hate Bonds and he played for my team. -- nm - Redmond Aug 4, 18:14
There are no cherished NFL records. -- nm - Reagen Aug 4, 18:10 20
- Exactly...baseball is so eff'd competitively that all they can sell is numbers - Stewie Aug 4, 18:15 19
  - Merriman should not be held up as an example of football getting something right. Ever. -- nm - TFox Aug 4, 18:18 1
    - He could always go with the Manny excuse. "It's not like I murdered or raped someone" Paraphrased -- nm - Redmond Aug 4, 18:21
  - I don't get the Merriman dig...baseball put Manny out longer than merriman did and Manny won't get close to MVP. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 18:16 10
    - when they caught him for at least the second time...6 years after what we know as the first -- nm - Stewie Aug 4, 18:43 3
      - when they caught him for the first time in a test that was actually linked to his name, when there were punishments in place, sure. - TFox Aug 4, 18:52 2
        
        so they get a pass for not having punishments in place, when they knew it was a problem, and were lining their pockets off illegal drug use - Stewie Aug 4, 19:14 1
        
        nah, i just followed my heart. -- nm - TFox Aug 4, 19:16
    - 50 game suspensions in the NFL would be career enders. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 4, 18:31 5
      - I get to play in the minors! Yippee! I just love the game! -- nm - Manny si Aug 4, 18:42 1
        
        Not as good for him, but good for the Dodgers. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 4, 19:01
      - 50 games out of 162 = higher % than 4 out of 16. Manny was penalized more than Merriman. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 18:41 2
        
        I know, but not that much. 5 games would be close. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 4, 19:03 1
        
        the only real point that matters here is... - TFox Aug 4, 19:03
  - I think the lack of a salary cap hurts baseball the most. -- nm - Redmond Aug 4, 18:16 5
    - Utter boringness hurts baseball the most. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 18:17 4
      - You just described soccer. -- nm - Redmond Aug 4, 18:18 3
        
        Well, that too. But, like baseball, the desolate tapestry of boringness is occassionally punctuated by some action. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 18:21 2
        
        My top 5 favorite sports to watch. NFL, College Football, NBA, College Basketball, and Golf - Redmond Aug 4, 18:23 1
        
        I'll watch baseball until the playoffs. I don't care as much once the playoffs start. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 4, 18:33
And let's be honest; the NFL handling things means they're now suspending guys with half a dozen arrests in a year. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 18:09 2
- Their "three strikes on three consecutive weeks and you're out" policy is really admirable. - TFox Aug 4, 18:11 1
  - That'd be one way to get Frenchy drummed out -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 18:12
