ExiledInIllinois Posted November 6, 2009 Author Posted November 6, 2009 Yeah, he's a great guy! That is not the point... So what if he is a douchebag, really. He still has many years in the tank while others that used PED's have had a severe drop-off after coming clean. I guess we will see what it does to his game long-term. I think the power of PED's are a myth. Don't get me wrong, I think the game should be clean, but to me A-Rod is proving how over-rated they were IMO. The guy honestly appears to be liberated and a "true Yankee." Puke if you must in Yankee hate.
thebug Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Let's say A-Rod was a football player for the Pats*. Would your answers be the same? Just a thought.
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 6, 2009 Author Posted November 6, 2009 The drugs aren't overrated. They work and the effects are dramatic in some cases. Average to mediocre players put up some all-time seasons and great players just put up absurd numbers. The proof of their effects couldn't be more obvious. The game was rampant with them and I honestly believe it is a very clean product. The best players are the best players, in a league full of juicers or a league thats clean. A-Rod personally might have benefitted from the relief of not having this secret hanging over his head but I think he just matured overall as man. It could have quite possibley stemmed from his fallout, many people take that path. His biggest benefit was the strength of this team. They just had a real team this year. A-ROD wasn't bigger than the Yankees and he responded positively to that. The guy repeatedly talked about his acceptance from teammates after his admittance. He's a different player and different man. Good points!

Yet, have we ever see the Pats* come clean? NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!!! Did you catch Joey Porter and what he just said?

You keep using that phrase in one form or another and I'm curious. Coming clean is having your name released without your consent, and then giving some convoluted story about 'boli' and your cousin? While it's not as bad as "I'm not here to talk about the past" or "I misremembered" that is hardly coming clean (in my book).

So I guess he did come clean.
