How Long Should Alex Rodriguez be Banned for? (link)

A-Rod is already near the end pedded up or not

I'm still wondering why Ray Lewis is getting a free pass. The greatest defensive player of all time and he never used steroids? Yeah right!

Why isn't Lewis getting Armstronged?

Because no one cares about steroids in football. If you fail a test, you get banned for a certain amount of games. There's no drama behind it. No one cares because football is more fun to watch and regardless of what goes on behind the scenes, there will still be big hits and one handed catches.

Imagine if the NFL & MLB baseball would have some real penalties like lifetime bans and teams forfeiting wins.

I heard this very point you're making today on the sports talk radio. It got me thinking why is that. If it's wrong or illegal in one sport it should be the same way in all sports. One would think that football would be the most concern of steroid use. I mean, what sport has the most serious injuries due to impact? If football isn't the most it's near the top. And think of all the hypocrisy in football about safety now. Helmet hits, late hits, all under scrutiny. But nothing about steroids. If you want to reduce the impact on the human body from another body then dont allow the bodies to turn bigger and stronger through steroid use. It's like they want the jolting hits but they dont want the jolting hits. They want steroids but they dont want to admit they want steroids.

NFL knows people love it when they see a player get hit so hard he is knocked unconscious before he hits the ground. They also know when that player takes a gun and splatters his brains against a wall a few years later, the fans will think for 3 seconds how unfortunate that is and then go buy another case of beer for that weekends games.

If what they are saying is true, he was still doping after 2009, then he should be banned for life.

I would think also this would finally the first time a team tries to void a player's contract. I've never udnerstood why the sue happy lawyers don't sue the leagues as part of a class action suit for fraud or why teams don't sue players who signed long-term deals based off of doping.

Apparently, I've lived long enough as the Yankees may try to void Arod's contract:

The Yankees are not trying to void the contract because of PED use. They are trying because Arod's skill are gone. He is not worth $114M for the next 5-years. Arod is Done.

I once thought wejo was illiterate, but now I'm certain you both are. Not a huge shock considering the daily typos, misspellings, and sloppy wording that appear on this site. How strange it is, fifty years ago this profession wouldn't have tolerated anything near the level of incompetence this site so effortlessly exhibits on every occasion. Indeed, the frequency with which you retch this sloppy excrement is astounding. And for this I suppose you may rejoice. You've reached the top of the bottom, and like the dead weight that you are, your dragging down the standards of what is considered acceptable.

Ordinarily something of this nature would be a burden on the conscience, but judging from the great care you take in managing your website, I would guess this troubles you little. Your website lacks dignity and will therefore never earn nor receive respect. Flotrack may have its shortcomings, but at least they have a few competent individuals who can conduct a real interview.

Maybe you'll read this, after which you'll scoff, then you'll laugh all the way to the bank. precisely the problem.

Hey moron! It's you're, not your. Practice what you preach or stfu.

"....your dragging down the standards of what is considered acceptable."

Is so fun watching all these guys who doped get into their late 30's and they get so slow its amazing. Its like watching old men.

I don't get it? Why you on the Brothers case when you seem to migrate to their site everyday? This isn't 50 years ago so the brothers can get away with whatever. I check LR along with about 4 other sites daily. I like the ramshackle nature of the montage. Perhaps you should create a site and perhaps I will abandon my daily journey to this forum but I doubt it.

And of course A Rod is finished. How can he make a come back to something that never was in the first place?

It's like Marion Jones desperately trying to make the US Olympic team without the juice.

If he was 27 years old, they wouldn't be seeking to void his contract.

What I love about his fall from grace, was that when he was with Seattle...he and his agent led them on that they had a shot at resigning him. Then Texas showed how stupid they are.

I'm glad you posted. In light of my error that one of the posters so kindly pointed out, I will grant that every individual is entitled to the occasional error given the casual nature of the message board. However, I don't think that same courtesy should be accorded to "professional" entities.

Now, if for a minute we take a look at your post we will quickly identify incorrect punctuation, improper usage, and poor grammar. On the message board this is all fine and good. But then imagine its you who is writing the headlines for the frontpage. Wouldn't you expect a higher level of literacy from yourself were you to undertake such a task. I think so.

As you very astutely pointed out we do not live in the "50 yrs ago" I mentioned previously, but does this mean we forget important principles such as accountability?

Perhaps accountability isn't your brand of "montage".

Yowsa!

What is HELLA ironic is that your hatred for the dishonesty of doping is so out of control that your hatred for LIES and fostering them is absent.

Obviously you dont read anything but Letsrun. Every day I come across typos and misspellings on well known information source sites. Even newspapers make errors all the time.

So I guess my question is why not make a general statement about journalism across the board? Why get all persnickity over the brothers? Even calling them illiterate. Is your biased hatred so great that you have to slander them on their own message board? Is that what you consider princibled? Why not shoot them an email? That's what a princibled person would do.

Oh I get it. It's okay for you to be unprincipled because """"""YOU'RE""""""" hiding behind an anonymous message board. Btw, an anonymous message board provided by the very people you choose to criticize anonymously.

OMG, A-Rod takes steroids?? NOOOO!!!!

With the amount of money on the line in professional sports (especially baseball, football, and basketball) isn't it pretty safe to assume that like, the vast majority of athletes are on something? How is this even news worthy?

Shut up senseca
