So it turns out Barry Bonds is actually "close friends" with A.C. Slater, who got him to agree to do a reality show in which we get to see baseball's all-time asterisk king confronted by an angry fan who despises him, after which Bonds will have to try to convince the poor jagoff he's not such a prick after all.

Jeff Novitzki was an IRS agent. Not an avenging angel sent from above, nor an earthly crusader for all that is good and pure in America, but a bureaucrat. Somewhere along the way he got it into his mind that it was his job and his job alone (and his only job) to eradicate the peril of steroids in sports. He's with the FDA now, but he continues his myopic, monomaniacal quest to bring down the users. More »

This is actually great: Barry Bonds, the star of Bob Costas's nightmares, will provide scholarships for Bryan Stow's two grade-school-age children. Stow was brutally beaten at Dodger Stadium in March for wearing a Giants jersey. His condition is slowly improving, and police recently arrested a suspect in his beating. More »

As you all know, Barry Bonds was convicted yesterday on a single count of rambling in the first degree. (No, seriously. Seven years of this shit, and that's what they got him on — evading a question he ultimately answered. Aggravated incoherence. A felony charge of Not Being Freaking Pericles in the Presence of a Grand Jury. Go read Craig Calcaterra if you don't believe me.) There's a lot of mewling and bead-fondling in the sports pages today about what it all means for Bonds's legacy — as always, it's important to remember that a sportswriter talking about a legacy is just a fart talking about its own smell — but let's ignore all that for now and instead direct our attention to an exchange from Day 12 of the trial, which I only just now noticed. One of Bonds's attorneys, Dennis Riordan, was objecting to the judge's instructions to the jury on the obstruction of justice charge, which, per the San Jose Mercury News, enabled the jury "to find [Bonds] guilty based on four separate statements": More »

After four days of deliberations, the jury in the Barry Bonds case has found the all-time home run leader guilty on one count of obstruction; the defense and the prosecution settled on a mistrial for the remaining three counts of lying to a grand jury. We would like to point out that he is still a prick. [ESPN] More »

The prosecution in the case, which begins jury selection today, really wants to make this trial about that. But it's not. It's not about steroids either, actually. It's a perjury case, to determine whether he was lying when he said he didn't take illegal things, which might not have been illegal at the time. More »

Barry Bonds: Charged with four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice for telling a federal grand jury he never knowingly used steroids. The substance he's accused of taking, The Clear, was neither illegal nor specifically banned by baseball at the time of his testimony. Trial is scheduled to begin March 21, at which time prosecutors will probably have to concede they don't have shit. More »

Sorry, Bud Selig: "If you did that, you'd have to go back and change all kinds of records, and the [home run] record was very important to me," Aaron said. "It's probably the most hallowed record out there, as far as I'm concerned, but it's now in the hands of somebody else. It belongs to Barry. No matter how we look at it, it's his record, and I held it for a long time. But my take on all of this has always been the same. I'm not going to say that Barry's got it because of this or because of that, because I don't know." [AJC] More »
