I corrected it for Thomas. But is there really a need to call him names? It was an honest mistake...like you haven't made any in your life... Gus – Good catch. I corrected it for Thomas.

Get your facts straight, you hack. You are thinking of Steve Courson, not Steve Furness who was the ‘admitted steroid abuser’.

It is hard to compare statistics from different eras in football. Actually, statistics are very misleading in football as they can make a mediocre talent like Gina Torreta win a Heisman because he was surrounded by superior talent. Baseball, on the other hand, is broken down into individual battles. Once the ball leaves the pitcher's hand, baseball reduces to a man, a bat, a ball. Regardless of era. Part of baseball's lure is the ability to compare players v. the all-time greats. This steroids mess tarnishes this entire era and destroys the greatest strength of the game. I disagree.

This dude is a walking tabloid. Can we have some baseball please ESPN ? Throw this guy out of the League for a year so we all can enjoy a game or two. I agree – enough air-time for this clown.
