Bro Rolls Two-And-A-Half Pound Joint, Gets It Confiscated By The Cops
If you're ever going to roll a two-and-a-half pound joint, I guess 4/20 at UC Santa Cruz is the day to do it. Also, "butthurt" is a term that we are wary of throwing around, but that bro is the definition of butthurt. ...

Reports: It Was A-Rod, Naturally, Who Bought PED Evidence
Earlier today, the New York Times reported that MLB had paid a former Biogenesis employee for documents relating to the clinic's alleged supplying of PEDs to a number of baseball players. That's foolish and self-defeating on its own, but the interesting part was the insinuation that MLB's move was i...
MLB Breaks Out The Scuzz Money, Pays For Biogenesis Evidence
You almost feel a little bad for MLB, like a toddler aware of, but not quite capable of the locomotion required to reach and open the snack drawer. They know all those juicy Biogenesis clinic records are there for the taking, but just can't seem to get their hands on them, even as seemingly everyon...
Major League Baseball Just Straight Up Sued The Wrong Guy
Major League Baseball, an organization with massive revenues and a squadron of high-priced lawyers, filed against the wrong person—just, flat out, the wrong guy—in its (specious) claim against Biogenesis, forcing the falsely accused Miami-area salesman to retain a lawyer for his defense. This mix-up...
Jason Taylor Went On CNN And Said Dumb Shit About Drugs
From time to time, former NFL star Jason Taylor has been known to say thoughtful and inspiring things on camera. This was not one of those times. Last night, Taylor was a guest on CNN's (Get To) The Point—a show about baby boomers attempting to perch themselves precariously yet gracefully on plasti...
"Six-Month Investigation" Reveals Synthetic Marijuana "Epidemic" At Auburn
If you were wondering what it takes to write a good, old-fashioned Scary New Drugs! article, it takes 12 failed tests and a principal's testimony in open court about using "spice," the scary-sounding and "highly addictive" pot-like substance....
MLB Is Playing Legal Whac-A-Mole In The Biogenesis Case
Major League Baseball is not the government. Bud Selig is not a senator, Joe Torre is not a district attorney, and the Phillie Phanatic has sworn no oath to uphold principles of any kind. And judging from the news today about MLB's plans to sue Biogenesis (the clinic which, according to the Miami Ne...

Mike Piazza's Book Tour Produced An Excellent Illustration Of The Absurdity Of Steroid Handwringing
Mike Piazza wrote a memoir, and if early releases are any indication, it's mostly about how weird a human being he is. Perhaps because of his eccentric streak, many apparently hoped that the book would be a tell-all about the steroid era, like Jose Canseco's Juiced from someone who isn't (as much of...
Biogenesis PED Records Just Being Given Out In Boxes Of Cereal Now
First, the Miami New Times obtained some records of South Florida "anti-aging" clinic Biogenesis, which appears to tie MLB players to banned performance enhancing drugs. Then Yahoo obtained additional Biogenesis records, naming additional players....
Hedo Turkoglu Tests Positive For Steroids, The Internet Reacts
The Orlando Magic's Hedo Turkoglu was suspended 20 games for testing positive for methenolone, which is an anabolic steroid.

Jay Williams's Allegations Of Pot-Smoking On The 2002-03 Bulls Have Really Upset Donyell Marshall
It's altogether unlike a Duke man to casually rat out his peers in the name of good living. But Jay Williams did it anyway, in Saturday's New York Times. Recall the motivation for yesterday's ranked, underexplained list of Bulls most likely to toke up before games:...
2002-03 Chicago Bulls, Ranked According To Likelihood The Player Was Getting Baked Before Games
"There were guys smoking weed before games," Jay Williams recalled of his rookie year with the Bulls, his only season in the league. "Guys asking in the middle of the game, 'Do you smell popcorn?'" Which guys, exactly, Williams does not specify. So here's a list of the 2002-03 Bulls, ranked from lea...
Economists Disagree Over How Influential Jose Canseco Was In Spreading Steroids, Start Getting Personal
With advance apologies for giving any more press to Jose Canseco, you might want to check out a little contretemps happening over at Econ Journal Watch about Canseco's role as the Johnny Appleseed of baseball steroids.

Curt Schilling Says Red Sox Officials Urged Him To Consider PEDs
Curt Schilling never did play in 2008. He spent the entire season trying to come back from a shoulder injury revealed before spring training, but not without some controversy. Schilling wanted to have surgery; the Red Sox, who had signed Schilling to a one-year contract, wanted him to treat it with ...
