    I would defintely read a book about the many personalities of Herschel Walker.


    What's that? He already wrote that book? Yeah, I never read it.

    I only read books that start out as hilarious internet memes.

    What's amusing is that Roberts is getting rightfully roasted, but I have the sense that if she were an older, maybe male sportswriter with more cred, she wouldn't be panned so hard by some.


    I mean, outlets have been willing to accept hearsay about steroids about A-Rod and many others without substantial evidence for years, and now you've got Olney plus most ESPN-folk saying, "there's not much here."

    @Signal to Noise:


    I have issues with the way she handled the Duke Lacrosse stuff but when everyone was bashing her about the steroids accusations, ARod came out and proved her right.


    I think the fact that she's a woman who many men are more concerned about her looks than what she wrote is definitely a factor in the hate.

    @redsoxchick: @Paul.B.Dodd:


    see, I don't think this cheap anonymous sourcing was good in the first place, but since it apparently was acceptable to the media powers that be in the steroid witch-hunt, it's really revealing to see who gets to skate on these things and who doesn't.


    Roberts is rightfully getting raked over the coals in some corners, but she's relatively new to the "high-profile investigative sports reporter" game. Let me put it this way: if T.J. Quinn or Mark Fainaru-Wada wrote this book, they might get a pass. I say this as someone who loathes every part of this "war on PEDs" mentality. I really don't care who's juicing and who isn't.

    Buster Olney stated this morning that, having read the book, he "needed more" than what was said, in terms of hard evidence, and he had previously worked with Selena Roberts at the NYT.


    When Chico Escuela wrote Bad Stuff 'Bout the Mets thirty years ago, he at least had actual insight, even if he violated the sanctity of the locker room. This appears to be mostly hearsay, innuendo, and an object lesson on why you should at least tip 18%.

    I'm glad we have "Bitch Tits" to replace "Old Purple Lips". It was making me uncomfortable since Obama got elected.
