Sports --
Two things:
1. Michael Jordan is NOT the greatest athlete of all time. Babe Ruth is the greatest athlete ever ever ever, period, no debate, forget it. He's Zeus, a giant among men -- twenty wins as a pitcher, he dominated his era offensively more than any other hitter has dominated any era by hitting 60 home runs when that was underheard of, at the same time revolutionizing the way people thought about the game of baseball offensively. He swung a tree trunk and hit a balled-up sock of a dead ball. Babe Ruth put baseball on the map. He made baseball Baseball and the yankees The Yankees. Hank Aaron, pleease. If Babe Ruth had 12,000 ABs, who knows. I won't even mention today's players, which leads me to .... number 2.
2. Baseball is seriously in deep shit if they don't get on the ball and test for steroids. This is a no-brainer. Steroids=bad. What's the discussion? All of the outrageous offensive records of the last 10 years have a big fat giant ****asterick**** next to them now irr-e-god-damn-gardless of what any future testing program will look like. This is just dumb.
