Thank God for Spring Training

There is nobody on God's green Earth who is more excited for Spring Training than this guy right here. Every day since the Super Bowl, we have been force-fed stories about Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and the well overplayed "Steroid controversy". Am I the only one who is so sick of this garbage already? I come from a generation where if you are accused of something: You probably did something wrong.

Apparently there are now witnesses that saw Clemens at this alleged Jose Canseco party, which Clemens said he never attended. This is so played out, and I'm tired of hearing this broken record. To be honest, I don't even care if Clemens or Bonds took the juice, or the cream, or whatever they are calling it these days. Their stories have more holes in them than a game of Labyrinth, and the dead horses they rode in on are starting to reek of redundancy. Let it go already, because even if you prove that these two, along with the approximately 200 other Major League Baseball players who have probably taken steroids or HGH at some point in their career, are guilty as charged, what is it really going to prove? I'll tell you. Its going to prove that Congress must have way too much time on their hands. Even in a time of war and adversity, where gangs and drug runners rule the streets, Congress seems more concerned with getting involved in sports. Sports? Really? I'm sure the FBI has a thousand more-important things they could be investigating. But I digress.

Regardless, let's put this story to rest, and actually play some Baseball already. It's sad that ESPN doesn't realize that nobody really cares about this issue. Want higher ratings in February and March? Show more NHL and College Basketball highlights, and drop the stories nobody pays attention to. Oh, and cut NFL Live after the Super Bowl. 30 minutes of Mark Schlereth rehashing his two wins as a Bronco is 29 and a half minutes too long.
