Sports - 17 January 2007

Lots of people have suggested that Bonds, Sosa, McGwire et al. should not be elected to the Hall of Fame, despite the fact that there has been no proof of steroid use by any of them.

Sosa was caught with a corked bat, but he claimed it was an accident and the fans believed him. Bonds did test positive for amphetamines, but they were only banned this past year, so it's probable that some current HOFers used them.

Gaylord Perry, on the other hand, was an admitted doctorer of baseballs. He was suspended once for it, but has since admitted that he did it a lot more. Despite that, he was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1991.

Is this a double standard? Or is there a difference in the situations? Should Perry be in the Hall?

I'm a freshman in highschool, and I currently play soccer, but I've always thought that Cross Country would be fun too. A lot of people say they like it, but you have to run a lot! I have pretty good endurance, but they run at least 3 miles a day. Has anyone done it before, what was your experience like?

I'm playing ESPN NBA 2K5, and I'm playing the Lakers at home (there's a game tonight, too). I already beat the Nuggets, 129-173, with the star player of the game being Manu Ginobili.

What are some good ideas for teams to play the Spurs?

Oh, I'm winning by three, 82-85.

I'm a freshman in highschool, and I'm currently on the soccer team, but I was thinking about trying out for the swim team in the Spring. Do you know anything about it? Is it a really competitive sport? I like to swim, but I don't think I'm very good, and I don't know where I could practice.

I'm just thinking that I would rather be in ring with Bruce Lee, rather than Mike Tyson. It seems to me that Boxers are more aggressive and massive, while karate fighters are more tactical and quick. I think I could handle a 360 degree kick to face from a 150 lb man better than an upper jab from a 250 lb man. Any fighters out there, please enlighten me on this matter.

I was grocery shopping earlier today and this man in a wheelchair was planted in the middle of the isle blatantly ignoring the people waiting to get around him. Being in a hurry, I slightly pushed him out of the way so people could get by as well as myself. He began yelling at me so did other shoppers in the isle. What is wrong with this guy? Just because he is in a wheelchair, he gets to inconvience everyone else? And what is wrong with the other able bodied customers? They wanted him out of the way just as much as I did then have the nerve to scold me?

I usually play Titleist NXT or NXT Tour balls. I'm a 12 handicapper, generally break 85, and can somewhat control draws and fades with some consistancy. But I can rarely (if ever) get a ball to back-up on the green.

So, last time out, a friend gives me a sleeve of Titleist Pro V1's. One the last four holes, I used one of them.

On all four holes, the ball backed up when it hit the green. I swear, I did nothing different with my swing.

Was it the ball that caused this? Are they that much softer? Does this really make a difference?

I guess I should know the answer, as I've been playing for 35 years.

Thanks.

He throws a lot of interceptions. He'll throw the ball to his wrong teammates. I think it's hard for him to tell if he can see a green jersey or not!
