I wasn't going to type anything today because I wanted to see how long we could keep our riveting Slim Fast discussion going. Today in the comment section, I think we should concentrate on really listening to our partners, and tips for doing so....
But seriously, I came into "work early" this morning, which for me means to waste as much time as I can before doing any actual work, and then making it completely pointless to come in early, since I didn't get anything done anyway. And I hear a pretty good rumor, and am starting one too. Because I love me some conspiracies.
Conspiracy #1: This has started to wane a little since A-Rod is going to attempt to play through his injury, but I heard this yesterday: That baseball a) doesn't want A-Rod to really admit anything wrong, b) doesn't want to embarrass their biggest star with a publicized suspension, c) wants to punish him for fucking up. So they make up an injury that is invisible to the naked eye, and that is coincidentally going to keep him out about 10 weeks, which according to my calculations, would be around mid-May, and right around 50 games, which coincidentally, is exactly the suspension for a first time offense under the steroid policy. I heard this on local sports radio the other day, so I can't take credit.
Conspiracy #2: I'm making this up. ESPN last night was tossing around all the third basemen the Yankees would look to get if A-Rod was out awhile. Bobby Crosby, Mark Tehean, and some other losers came up. But you know who didn't come up, but SHOULD have? How about Billy Hall? Wouldn't THIS be a fucking blessing? Not only are you shedding an enormous (for the Brewers) salary on a below average player, but you'll get something probably pretty good in return, AND it gives you an excuse to bring up your choice of Matt Gamel or Alcides Escobar. Believe me, Billy is VERY available. CALL ME BRIAN CASHMAN!!
-Arch Madness tonight: CU v. Wichita at 6 p.m.
-Video Game news: I think I'm going to use the 45 seconds of personal time I have between now and April 15th to buy MLB '09: The Show. Reportedly the best baseball game ever.

A-Rod Thinks I'm Stupid
I didn't even watch the Rodriguez interview thing yesterday. I didn't need to. The highlights crawling across the bottom line on ESPN all night were good enough. And he clearly thinks America is really, really dumb. While he is probably right, and I've said before that America is full of people that shouldn't be allowed reproduce, or waste my air, even America isn't THAT stupid that it believes A-Rod's ridiculous tall tales. And I'm going to go ahead and ignore all of the other things he is probably lying about, and assume that he tells the truth that he was clean at all times other than '01-'03 (which is most likely untrue).
Alex Rodriguez is a professional athlete, and probably one of the best in baseball, if not one of the best of all time. He allegedly "started" using steroids in 2001, when he was about 25 years old, and had just signed a 10 year $250 million contract with Texas. And he expects us to believe that his "cousin" who doesn't sound like a doctor, or expert of any kind, told him he could get some stuff in the Dominican that would help with his "energy" and he just injected himself with it for three years, no questions asked. Bull. Fucking. Shit. There is no possible way this happened. There is no possible way that a professional athlete, at the top of his game, who stood lose HUNDREDS of millions of dollars, would take the word of his "cousin" that he could get some shit in the DR and just inject himself with it, no questions asked. Now I know baseball players are stupid. But he can't possibly expect me to buy this. He would've been better off flat out lying to me like Clemens, Palmiero and Bonds than give me this horseshit.
IN OTHER NEWS:
My fucking boss brought her fucking dog into the office with her last night after I had left (which is like a 200 lb black lab). And I arrive at the office this morning to find garbage strewn all over the floor. I was fucking pissed.

Devil's Advocate
Since disagreeing is what I do, I'm going to take another hack at the dead horse. I generally agree with much of what you said as far as A-Rod not being sorry, but regretting getting caught. I also agree that we can't say for certain what happens the day you stop taking steroids, or that we know he isn't on HGH right now, because we can't test for the shit. I am also sick of watching or listening to this debate.
I would also like to point out that keeping every person who admitted or was accused of taking steroids out of the Hall of Fame is asinine. Is cheating really cheating when you know goddamn well a whole shitload of other players were doing it? While it isn't fair to the players that weren't taking it, how can we believe THEM? Don't we almost have to go the communist route and just make every player that has ever played guilty until proven innocent? Or better yet, until we pony up for an HGH test (which is dumb since they will find something else to get an edge), just forget the whole fucking thing and let everyone in? I totally got on a tangent here, but it is crazy that there is all this witch hunting going on for some, and total ignorance about others in baseball, while we just ignore the fact that there is a 99% (based on thorough scientific testing) chance that every NFL player is on something, but we don't give a shit because the numbers don't "matter" as much.
Alright, back to what the whole point was: I think Joe Blow Rottencrotch from Bumfuck, USA wants to forgive players who apologize because he is so pissed at the assholes that refuse to acknowledge what we know with almost complete certainty is true. While A-Rod's "apology" wasn't all that sincere, at least he isn't treating Joe Blow Rottencrotch like a COMPLETE fucking moron like Bonds and Clemens are. So to that extent, admitting guilt is the right thing to do.

Just as I predicted...
ESPN immediately throws up a news article about how awesome Favre's comeback win was today. Maybe they forgot the whole reason they were down at all was because Favre threw a pick earlier in the game that lead to a Chiefs touchdown and then threw another pick that got returned for another TD? Fuck ESPN and fuck Favre.
Also that new Guitar Hero commercial with Tony Hawk, Kobe Bryant, A-Rod and Michael Phelps is really creepy and leads me to believe that all four of those individuals had sex with each other.
