Somehow You Know This Will Involve Kevin Costner
The news you've been waiting for is finally here: The Barry Bonds steroids case is going to be made into a movie!

It Was Never About Barry, And Of Course It Always Was
The key point to remember in the Barry Bonds indictment that went down yesterday afternoon is that we really don't have any new information.

Apparently, They Didn't Want To Make Golic ANGRY
On Thursday, we casually mentioned that "Mike And Mike In The Morning"'s Mike Golic admitted to taking steroids on his show. (Well, not while doing his show. You know what we mean.) Co-host Mike Greenberg did a "moving right along!" dipsey-do, and no one would have noticed it if hadn't been for thos...
Let's Guess The Steroid Users! Fun!
The Boston Globe had the scoop — a scoop it later backed off of, but no matter! — yesterday: Eleven free agents are mentioned in the Mitchell Report. This may no longer be true, of course, but bah! This sort of revelation is the reason the Internet was born: Let's get to speculatin'!...
Why Steroids Make You Strong And More Famous
Just in case anyone forgot: Rafael Palmeiro tests positive for a steroid and an entire Hall of Fame career is destroyed. Rick Ankiel is prescribed HGH by a doctor when it's neither illegal nor banned by baseball, and he's a disgrace to the story we all once admired. Jaguars defensive end Marcus Stro...
Baseball Remains SO Tough On Steroids
The New York Times this morning confirmed something we all pretty much suspected: Baseball's steroid "tests" are so easy to usurp and foil that you'd have to be an idiot to fail one. (Or Mike Cameron.)...
The NFL Loves Those International Roiders
The NFL has long gotten a free pass on the whole steroid issue. Rafael Palmeiro is a cancer on his sport, but Shawne Merriman gets a really cool Michael Mann Nike ad. And now Roger Goodell is just throwing it in your face....
We Are Shocked, Shocked To Find Steroid Use In Women's Track
Apparently there were still humans on the planet who legitimately believed Marion Jones hadn't taken anabolic steroids, but for the rest of us, Jones' "confession" was a confirmation of what any reasonable person had known for quite some time....
Confusing Rope-a-doping With Plain Ol' Doping
BALCO Twin Powers, ACTIVATE! Form of: boxing! Shape of: "Sugar" Shane Mosley! Now we have to wonder if that really was sugar that inspired his nickname....

Whether it's fair or not, there's only one baseball place on earth where Barry Bonds is beloved: AT&T Park in San Francisco. And tonight's the last night he'll ever be able to bask in that love....
What To Do With The Bonds Ball?

Being Scared Of Detection Can Hurt Team Morale
Viva El Birdos brings up a stat we hadn't noticed, and one that kind of blew us away: In the games since Rick Ankiel, Jay Gibbons and Troy Glaus were linked with illegal steroids and/or HGH, their teams have yet to win a game....
Why The Radio Silence From The Cardinals?
It has been about 15 hours since the Rick Ankiel story broke, and so far, the only public comment has been Cardinals general manager Walt Jocketty's clearly confused, wha-wha-WHAT? quote of "This is the first I've heard of this; If it's true, obviously it would be very tragic, along with everything ...
What We Lost, And What We Never Had
The Rick Ankiel thing, for Cardinals fans, has always been about hope. There was hope in 2000, when we thought we had discovered a 19-year-old Steve Carlton. There was hope in 2001 when we believed a young man could conquer his demons. There was hope in 2003 when we anguished as another young star w...
