We'll keep this short and sweet since there's not too much new news going on today. The Bears interviewed Mike Tice and Ken Zampese. No clear cut candidate really emerging at this point. Greg Blache retired. Wonder if he ever found out that sacks aren't "overrated"? Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports excellently summarizes the Lane Kiffin (and his smoking hot wife Layla) bolting Rocky Top for the Men of Troy situation. And Haiti is a very dire, depressing situation, and serves as a reminder that yes indeed things can get worse.With that in mind, the focus will continue to remain on the McGwire fallout. The New York Daily News has a fascinating story regarding the unnamed FBI Agent that sold McGwire steroids nearly 20 years ago. The Informant also states that McGwire was taking 4 very potent steroids including two veterinary steroids, for a substantial amount of time. This is a far cry from the "very low dose" McGwire tried to snowball past Bob Costas and the rest of the world on Monday. It's not out of the question, to wonder if this is one of several upcoming stories from all the dealers McGwire may have had. I'm sure there are several more people, that know and/or will suddenly remember with great detail exactly how many performance enhancers McGwire wanted, took, liked, and disliked over his career.
Another interesting column was written by Howard Bryant, author of the wonderful book "Juicing The Game", regarding McGwire's admission. Bryant has always been a very classy writer in terms of taking a shot at a guy, yet he has always been objectively balanced by calling things for what they are. He does so again with this column, and makes several great points, most astutely observing that Bonds and Clemens at the very least could have the argument attached to them of "They were Hall of Famers before they juiced". McGwire definitely cannot have that argument attached to him, and as a result, his omission from the Hall of Fame is much more certain.
