1. Good rant but he's wrong about Rose.

3. I just saw that. Whilst I don't believe he should ever have any position in the game...

not even towel boy.

I do think he should be eligible for the Hall of Fame and should be in the Hall.

2. There's just no equivalence.

"The Award offers no scientific, empirical, or historical evidence of any comparability between Brady’s alleged offense and steroid use. Often, steroid use has to do with critical issues of health, injury, addiction, and peer pressure, among other factors. See Steroid Policy at 1-2 … None of these factors is (remotely) present here. The Court finds that no player alleged or found to have had a general awareness of the inappropriate ball deflation activities of others or who allegedly schemed with others to let air out of footballs in a championship game and also had not cooperated in an ensuing investigation, reasonably could be on notice that their discipline would (or should) be the same as applied to a player who violated the NFL Policy on Anabolic Steroids and Related Substances."

4. Thanks for taking me off of ignore, joey. You actually make interesting point about the

levels and degrees of cheating. All of the above that you listed in your post are related to cheating and avoiding the rules of the game, whether it be using performance enhancing drugs, illegally video taping your opponents, illegally poaching coaches and players from other teams, etc.

Cheaters will use any cheating scheme to cheat.
