Then again, if he didn't learn a lesson it wouldn't be the first time an athlete lets his fans down and acts like a jack ass. I’m sure he’ll be riding in a car service from now on.

What did it make wrong? Injecting testosterone? Popping Methyl-1-testosterone pills, of which were perfectly legal over the counter up until an FDA ban of pro-hormones in 2004. I am a weightlifter and have seen many supplements in my time. The term performance enhancer is the dumbest and most open-ended term(not in reference to anything you said just something I've never understood in this whole steroid deal). I don't know what is expressively in the CBA but I'm sure it didn't say, Don't take Boli it is against the rules. Radnom, the idea that the CBA made it wrong is not the point and probably not true.

Another day, perhaps. 5 months from now when somebody else gets outed. Been said too many times to get into again here.

Doesn't mean I can't acknowledge what they do. Little kids lie doesn't mean I shouldn't actively teach mine not to do it. I don't expect articles everyday either. Know what else I don't expect? A constant reminder of what someone did in past. No one was saying Joba should be treated like A-Rod. All some people did was note the different standards and if anything, think A-Rod should be given the same treatment as others. And yes, I know their fame is different. There will be no mention of "the drunk driving starting pitcher" in an article that has nothing to do with his DUI. Like there are Madonna references to A-Rod having nothing to do with her. Just acknowledging the standards not asking Joba to be treated like garbage. I know that radnom. Doesn’t mean I can’t acknowledge what they do.

Lets hope he learns. In CA almost 30% of all DUI offenders have multiple convictions. Though it doesn't mean Joba won't get it, obviously there are many people who don't. Agree Johnny.

What were they supposed to fill the articles with? "Joba: Corns worst nightmare?" Who would want to read endless articles about Joba's drunk driving? There is only so much you could write about this story. Remember Memo, mainstream sports media exists to make money. They are not basing what they write about on some golden moral compass. Yeah seriously.

I don't recall saying anything about jail or the moronic examples you stated.
