Slippery slope

A few weeks ago, the baseball world was shaken with the news that the poster child of the league, the man most likely to break several hallowed batting records, was guilty of taking steroids in the years before a drug testing policy was officially in place for Major League Baseball. Alex Rodriguez is on a slippery slope, and he is digging a bigger hole with every interview he has given since that news broke. To me it appears that he is clearly lying about the extent of his "dabbling" with steroids. As time goes by, I expect the hole to get deeper and deeper and totally consume his legacy. Too bad, because he was one of the most talented player to ever play baseball.

Jayson Stark of ESPN raises some very valid points about A-Rod's mea culpa and comes away unsatisfied with what he has heard so far.

The bigger you are, the harder you fall. Shame on you, Alex. You should have come completely clean when you had the chance.
