Crion posted:I see nothing wrong with these instructions. Only with you. Assembling fajitas has long been a problem for me, I have to admit. At times I've just eaten everything separately. That post was really a cry for help. e: Ha, what an incredibly unfortunate new page. Let's discuss Tom Verducci being a jackass. Synthetic Testosterone will destroy the world. quote:One major league scout said he now includes notations in his reports about possible PED use when he sees spikes in performance. He lamented "how dirty" the game has once again become because of the popularity and ease of use of synthetic testosterone. Well that's...I'm having trouble coming up with any description other than idiotic. quote:One head trainer, when asked last month about the popularity of fast-acting synthetic testosterone, replied, "I don't know anything about it." That's the kind of position -- either ignorance or complicity -- that helped put baseball into The Steroid Era in the first place. This is a good point. I'm sure you wouldn't have excoriated the man if he'd told you everything there was to know about it. quote:I argue the rise in usage sends baseball another message: the penalty is far too light. When players calculate the risk-reward ratio, the risk of losing 50 games is insufficient. If the owners and players were truly serious about a clean game, first-time offenders would face a minimum of a one-year ban. Unfortunately, there are no current discussions about amending the penalties. Lock those fuckers up for life in my opinion. Unfortunate indeed.

This is obviously an acedote but after constantly reading about PED's and both sides of the argument I decided after Melky got popped to start taking a supplement that contains multiple ingredients banned by the MLB and the US Anti-Doping agency for A Future Blog Post (under doctor's supervision) just to personally see how large of an improvement these banned substances give to an average person, let alone a professional athlete. Without spoiling too much (because I obviously want to write this thing and I'm still in the process of working on it), in the past two and a half months since I started, my exercises have improved tenfold (both in quality and length) the recovery time is substantially less, I've lost significant fat while gaining lean mass (from 260 to 235), and my blood pressure has decreased from 130/90 to 110/80. I'm starting to appreciate how much benefit these substances can give, and these aren't even steroids or illegal supplements so I can see why they might be A Big Deal to some

That is a really interesting idea, good on you. Is the supplement something prescribed, or over the counter? Do you mind divulging what your secret muscle juice is or is that giving it away (I am not planning on writing any articles)? I can also say with a fair bit of confidence that you may have gotten similar results without it. How are you planning on accounting for that in your writing?

The main banned supplement is DMAA and a testosterone booster but there's a couple of other goodies in it, I'll probably have it written in the next week or so and then I'm gonna see if anyone's interested in running it Dick Williams fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Nov 10, 2012 |

Missed your second question, I was in the process of losing weight so I have six or seven months of exercise logs to compare to the past three or so and they're really like night and day. A lot of it could be placebo, some of it might not, but there is a control built in. They'll be pictures and stuff too! I'm really excited about it

Deadspin had a nice today about ESPN's infatuation with Tebow. Fascinating to see how the Skip Bayless stuff bled into the rest of the network. And their listing of journalistic gently caress-ups is astounding.

This is not sports journalism, but holy gently caress start reading The Innocent Man (Part One and Part Two) from Texas Monthly and don't post again until you've finished.Crazy Ted posted:Not only that, but he got his start in reporting after college as an balls-out crazy independent journalist. He wanted to cover the war in Eastern Europe in the 1990's but wasn't sure exactly how to do it, so he went over there with a bunch of friends and just wandered around the loving war zone filming stories and selling them. Let's play a game. Tell me which of these pieces of information is accurate about Anderson Cooper: quote:At age 17, Cooper travelled around Africa for several months on a "survival trip". He contracted malaria on the trip and was hospitalized in Kenya. quote:Finding it hard to get his foot in the door of on-air reporting, Cooper decided to enlist the help of a friend in making a fake press pass. Cooper then entered Myanmar on his own with his forged press pass and met with students fighting the Burmese government. quote:He later returned to filming stories from a variety of war-torn regions around the globe, including Somalia, Bosnia, and Rwanda. It's all of them. Anderson Cooper is a complete badass and America is never going to understand this side of him.

Speaking of probable Redditors I guess Pete Abraham is angling at redemption http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/ quote:Last year I moved my line and decided that unless there was some kind of tangible connection to PEDs, I would consider voting for a player. I changed because of Jeff Bagwell, a guy who sure looked the part of a drug user but was never linked to it. It seemed unfair to exclude him based only on suspicion.

I think its because they always want to twist the story and make it about themselves, how they have this "sacred duty" and all this other bullshit. edit: Like Jay Mariotti, for example. Holy poo poo does he still get a vote? quote:I didn't vote for anybody in the baseball hall of fame this year. Ya know why? To me…the first ballot is sacred. I think Roberto Alomar is an eventual Hall of Famer, not the first time. Edgar Martinez, designated hitter, eventually, but not the first time. Same goes for maybe Fred McGriff. As far as Blyleven and Dawson…if they haven't gotten in for years and years I cannot vote them in now." gently caress. You. Anyone who didn't vote for Cal Ripken on the first ballot should be banned from even watching sports for the rest of their lives.
