MCGWIRE ON STEROID CONTROVERSY
Here is the story from ESPN.com.

Mark McGwire was asked what he thought about the steroid controversy in Major League Baseball and offered up these comments...

"Well, I'm really not in touch with any of that stuff because I usually hear it from friends and stuff, and I tell them I don't want to really hear about any of that stuff," McGwire said Saturday. "I don't really have any opinion on any of that stuff. It's just very unfortunate."

First off, do you think he could've at least prepared a response on his way to the ballpark or something? He had to have known that somebody would ask him about the most pressing issue in baseball today. To offer up a response with "stuff" used not twice, or three, but four times is embarrassing for any adult of even average intelligence. Come on Big Mac.

Second, for McGwire to take the high ground and state "I don't want to really hear about any of that stuff" is such a cop out. McGwire, who admitted to using androstenedione is a big part of why things are the way they are in Major League Baseball today. Androstenedione was banned by the NFL at the time he took it as well as by the IOC. When it's all said and done and two of the top five homerun hitters of all time are 'roided up freaks (allegedly), what will that say about game of baseball for future generations?
