I'm sure he's right, at least about a few players, but man the guy is REALLY burning his bridges. BNM
I don't doubt it at all. Every level of sports has some form of juicing involved. Guys probably use it for recovery.
Yep, the guy's a 65-year old cancer survivor with millions in the bank. I think I'd be done working at that point, too. He doesn't need the stress and he doesn't need the money. Obviously, he had some stuff he wanted to get off his chest, and make a little easy money in the process. The book let him accomplish both. Not the way I'd have chosen to ride off into the sunset, but that's his choice, not mine. Calling out former players over their family life is a low blow, IMHO. But, the PED thing might get some traction, and that might do some good. Everyone, especially MLB, was quick to discredit and vilify Jose Canseco when his book came out, but it revealed the elephant in the room and helped clean up baseball. It was pretty obvious that there was widespread steroid use in baseball, but everyone was so awestruck by the ridiculous surge in home runs, nobody wanted to talk about it - until Canseco wrote about it. Maybe Karl's comments will get the discussion about PED use in the NBA started. BNM
Trump comes to mind. Said Bush was low-energy, tweets in the middle of the night, flew back home to NYC every night of the campaign from distant states, etc.
