decided to have breakfast, and I realized that one of my biggest vices, beside ice cream, is hazelnut coffee creamer... sure, I could drink it black and I'm okay with that., but c'mon now, an artificially flavored, non-dairy high fructose corn syrup liquid that turns you coffee into a nice sort of tan color and tickles your taste buds... why not?
As I was listening to morning radio yesterday, they had Lenny Dykstra aka: 'Nails' on the program. He is promoting his autobiography. If you were a Phillies fan, you definitely remember him. If you were a Mets fan, maybe. And if you followed the sports tabloids, you may recall some of his antics.
Anyway, he got around to discussing performance enhancing drugs.
He also kinda sounded 'out of it'. He went on to say that 'everyone' or anyone who was anyone used them. His logic, and I fully believe it, was that using the 'drugs' vs not using them meant the difference between a 60K contract and a million dollar contract. The decision to use HGH and other steroids was basically a financial decision for the athletes.
The other night I watched a documentary on a cyclist. Same thing - EVERYBODY used them. He got injured and was out for a couple years. When he returned - after training harder than ever - he found he was being left in the dust. Then his 'teammates' suggested that he use 'something' to help. He discovered that, again, EVERYBODY was using them.
I can give a pass to athletes who use performance enhancing drugs. But if you are going to lie about it and act like somebody killed your puppy when accused, you can go eff yourself.
I found out they were doing a documentary on Lance Armstrong celebrating his accomplishments etc. What a great guy! During the making of the doc, the truth came out and it had to change direction.
What a scum bag.
Pro sports athletes should be allowed to use the stuff. Make it an even playing field.
Pete Rose BELONGS in the baseball hall of fame btw...
Or let me go and remove a good percentage of others who should be kicked out based on similar criteria...
