Barry Bonds is deeply saddened.

Uh-oh. I get worried when the President discovers a problem.

I hoping he's not going to set up an anti-steroid department now as part of his cabinet.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Bold and courageous!

[ladyinred]

I hope he does so it will cause such a snit! The WOS will be the new by line around here!! :-)

Uh-oh. I get worried when the President discovers a problem.

Yeah, where the hell did this one come from? I can picture his speechwriter, on deadline, sitting on the crapper. He gets to the sports page and finds an issue for his final paragraph. "Honey, I'm done! I'm done!" she replies "thanks for sharing".

[ambrose]

oh man, do a before and after... Bonds as a Pirate, then as a Giant...

[Archangelsk]

Remember the movie "Jerry McGuire?" Remember Cuba Gooding's line, "show me the money?" Sorry, Mr. President, but there is nothing on the face of the Earth that will prevent athletes, and the kids who worship them, from taking performance enhancing drugs until the salaries these overgrown adolescents earn are brought under control.

[Corin Stormhands]

I don't think so. On just about everything else he listed an appropriation. On that one he was calling for some leadership from the professionals. Not that we'll see it, but I think he was saying "You guys need to clean up your act."

The WOS will be the new by line around here!! :-)

LOL The dopers here have no interest in this. They're all just fat flabby pot heads.

[xrp]

Maybe he is adopting Daschle's view of "to professionalize, you federalize" so all Pro Sports athletes will be government workers?

[Archangelsk]

Not that we'll see it, but I think he was saying "You guys need to clean up your act."

And I'll bet a fat man to a skinny mule that not one individual that the President was directing this to heard his speech.

Just part of the expansion of Medicare and amnesty for illegals.

until the salaries these overgrown adolescents earn are brought under control.

So, in other words, stop watching and going to the games of the NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL, etc.

[Corin Stormhands]

I'd agree, except for the Patriots QB (sheesh! what's his name) that was there. Still, it's good PR for the message to kids.

[Jeff Chandler]

When he came to that part of the speech my thought was "Where the heck did THAT come from?"

[bluefish]

They're all just fat flabby pot heads.

Well, with the Feds already cracking down on the best fat burner on the market.. (ephedrine) - what do you expect?

Huh?

There's no such thing as a "fat burner." That's all hype. If you're exercising, you don't need some goofy pill.

[Jeff Chandler]

...dopers ...fat flabby pot heads.

LOL! Munchy madness.
