As far as Shoeless Jow and Pete Rose go the argument is endless. If their accomplishments on the field aren't enough then let's shut down this supposed hall of fame.
As for Roger Clemens...He was never found guilty of using drugs. PERIOD. He was accused by two people, both of them proven liars and one of them a convicted drug dealer. When congress had no proof that he committed perjury when he testified he had never used PED's that should have been the end of it. I've known Roger, (I covered the Red Sox since he was a rookie) and know he would never use DRUGS. He did use vitamin B12 which is a SUPPLEMENT. End of story.
Roger and others not yet in the hall like Dwight Evans, etc. WILL be inducted into our (this sites's) hall of fame which is coming soon. Stay tuned.
Also, the so called "baseball dude," Steve Buckley, has gone all out to write a column saying that the Patriots season is a failure if they lose the playoff game to the Colts. He is one of those guys that is constantly criticizing Belechick but, as far as I'm concerned Bill Belichick should be given the coach of the year trophy right now for they way he's guided the Pats to the playoffs. I feel they've got enough to win it all. As Red Auerbach said, "It ain't what you've done, it's when you've done it that counts. Again.....stay tuned.
Finally, will somebody gag Mike Felger. Now he's saying it's not the coach it's the players that do it all. Coaching is only 20% of the game. Back to Red Auerbach. If Bill Russell were with another coach they would have tried to make him a scorer and rebounder, the heck with defense. Bobby Orr would have been a center instead of the greatest defenseman in NHL history. Bob Cousy would have been a great scorer instead of revolutionizing the point guard position.
Need I say more. Please, you network executives. Get some people who know about their sport instead of just trying to create controversies so they'll have more fans calling to increase ratings. Us old timers remember when sports shows used to have real sports people manning the mikes.
Please bring back Bob Lobel and Upton Bell...
Again.....stay tuned.....
