The report won’t hold any credibility one way or the other. It was always a hollow gesture designed to make it look like the league cared, and if they got lucky to find a reason to kick Bonds out of the sport before he broke the home run record. They didn’t manage to kick Bonds out and the league doesn’t actually care. It’s a dog and pony show.

“It’s a dog and pony show”

Actually, it’s a tweener. Both the league and the union know they are in a bad spot on this issue. And their hope is that they can drag things out and people will ultimately lose interest in the investigations. Problem is, people remain very interested in all this, the records in baseball matter, it’s ridiculously obvious that so many of the players are juiceheads, and still in this country there are enough people who find fault with that. Add to this the agendas of journalists looking to break big stories and write books, politicians looking to score points, the illegality of trafficking in these drugs which keeps the authorities involved, and the information that has already been uncovered but hasn’t been released, this thing is going to be a mess. And up to now, the players have kept that mouths shut. They won’t, indefinitely. And wait til the scope focuses on football. You can shut that whole game down the day that happens. Baseball is the church choir compared to football.
