I really only know him thanks to Patrick and Olbermann..
Same here. I actually heard the news while listening to the Dan Patrick show.
Sad.

Hate to disagree but I think the new unis look pretty bad ass. The faded paint job on the helmet is something new that I would like to see more teams implement.
Too bad the new look is going on a *bad team.
*Bad meaning bad not bad meaning good

Considering that the reading was right at the legal limit and Al Michaels wasn't stopped for driving erratically but stopped due to a routine DUI checkpoint, this is just a misdemeanor. More than likely he'll get a high priced lawyer who if does their job correctly can get this case tossed.

And...?
And they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar by the same WADA drug test that Lance was taking.
Now I don't know if he did or didn't take PED's, I only know that he was one of the most tested athletes ever and always tested negative.

Welcome back, BI.
Thanks BP! It's good to be back!
People don't typically give up without a fight when the entirety of their reputation is on the line.
We all know how well that turned out for Roger Clemens. People still believe he's guilty even though he took it the next level to prove his innocence and won.
It's a damned if you do/damned if you don't scenerio.

If Lance Armstrong passed over 500 drug tests that was administered by WADA, I personally would be more interested in finding out why the drug test didn't work those 500 times than continue this witch hunt.
...there do seem to be a lot of former teammates that are willing to say he did something wrong.
Didn't those former teammates that are willing to say he did something wrong actually got caught doing something wrong?

Mo always wanted to play in the outfield and from what the Yanks have to say, he's actually pretty good out there. Mo has even requested to Girardi to put him in the outfield one time before he calls it a career.
I'm a Mets fan and dispise the Yanks but this is tough. #42 is one of my favorite players.

NJ, where I was born and lived for over 30 years, continues to be seriously corrupt. And in such ridiculous ways too.
I was born & raised in NJ and lived there up until 3 years ago when I decided to move because of the obvious negative changes that gradually took a chokehold of the Garden State. The violence & corruption has completely gotten out of hand and I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel which is such a shame.

Think about it. There are folks in Africa who get AIDS without even being gay. Yet here Jesus is, helping me & Tebow out in sports, just because we're maybe a little bit cooler in his eyes. It's a raw deal, plain and simple. Even though he's hooking me up, I still see it's kind of a cocksucker move on Jesus's part.
