McGwire tells all (for us or him?)

Not fellow injector Jose Canseco. Not manager Tony La Russa. Not commissioner Bud Selig.We all marveled at McGwire, the slugger. We all got sick at McGwire, the I'm-not-here-to-talk-about-the-past testifier.So now what? Do we hold a parade, immediately send him to the Hall of Fame and celebrate the truth setting him free? Um, no.He is not free. His playing legacy remains tarnished. For how long? Forever? How tarnished? You make the call. You're not new to this steroid stuff. You wanted to be entertained. You were. You wanted the truth. You got it. Finally.But by him clearing his conscious, why does our view of him still feel cloudy? Because he's not alone i...
The ITeam Blog

led to over 70 steroid-related convictions, and generated plenty of big names, including links to baseball players Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco. Stejskal even warned MLB about its growing steroid problem in 1994, but the information fell on deaf ears. Five years ago, Stejskal recounted the incident to the Daily News, and four days before the now infamous congressional hearing that featured McGwire and Canseco, The News ran an exclusive story that detailed McGwire's steroid use. Two FBI sources confirmed that Curtis Wenzlaff, a dealer who was prosecuted in Equine, was McGwire's dealer. This is Stejskal's account of his investigation. BY GREG STEJSKAL Special Agent...

Writer gigs person who screwed up

It was the journalistic equivalent of that clip of Jose Canseco getting conked on the head by a fly ball that then went over the fence. Why? Because the House Judiciary Committee wasn't the group that did the voting. That vote came from the Kansas Judicial Council, which had been asked by the judiciary committee for a recommendation on the proposal. The Judicial Council is made up mostly of judges and lawyers. In fact, it only has two legislators among its members. Big difference, and one that I'll justifiably have a difficult time living down next week when I start providing commentary about the legislative session. Hey, smart guy, fact-check much? Wo...

McGwire was Juiced, Blame Lies at Selig's Feet
The fairer half of the Bash Brothers (along with A's teammate Jose Canseco) offered an apology. But he qualified it by saying, "I wish I had never played in the steroid era." Allow me to do what McGwire stopped short of doing - blaming the steroid era in baseball on so-called Commissioner Bud Selig. In an effort to return fans to the seats, and recover from a strike which resulted in no postseason in 1994, Bud Selig might as well have passed out steroids to players like candy to children. I attended a game in Pittsburgh in 1995, against division rival Cincinnati. My, what good seats we had along the first base line, simply buying tickets at the window just prior to the f...

Tennessee Titans' RB Chris Johnson To Possibly Race Usain Bolt
This seems similar to the possibility of Shaq fighting that giant Korean guy that knocked out Jose Canseco a while back ago. Everyone was excited about that back over the summer and it never happened. Unfortunately, this probably won't happen either. The problem here is that Bolt doesn't come off as the type of guy that's going to do some big publicity stunt that could distract him from his own sport. It would be extremely fun to watch, but the risk of getting injured for both men is not worth it. Bolt's agent has already went on record of saying that Bolt wouldn't do this. Bolt has a strict schedule to follow and doesn't even really follow the NFL. If the two were...
