    Vote on the fate of Bonds' baseball

    Which is why I hope the guy covers it in asterisks, that way there is no way in hell it gets inside the HOF, just like the Big Cheater himself.

    I love you TJ Simers

    TJ's probably one of the best in the biz. He's not full of himself and most players he writes about understand it is all just a schtick and many play along. Those that don't and take it personally don't understand that TJ's needle will only get sharper until they do. I prefer TJ over just about...

    Then they need to cover it in asterisks so there is no way they can display it without an asterisk being visible. I wouldn't put it past those folks in Cooperstown to try and cover up any branding.

    I was hoping to place the asterisk on it, then burn the thing to ashes.

    What makes it worth it to you?

    Honestly, if that is the way you feel about sports writing, you are doing your paper and your readers a great disservice every day you show up to work. You need to find another beat or quit the job you have right now until you find something more suited to you. Right now, the only reason why you...

    Hypothetically...

    Most employers frown at resumes that show someone hopping around from job to job in less than two years per stop anyway. If he takes the job, he can finish his degree online in two years and when he's ready to move on in two years, he will be in great shape and a potential employer will like the...

    Hypothetically...

    If he takes the job now and continues his education online, in two years he has his degree and two years experience under his belt. There will be no job you can't apply for then. Take the job now kid and finish your degree online. You will not regret it.

    Hypothetically...

    If he's good enough to get the job offer now, what's the extra two years of college going to do beside give him a piece of paper to hang on his wall? Take the job now, do the online courses while you work, and when the time comes to hang that piece of paper on the wall, you should have enough...

    Going easy on preps?

    I think that is the best solution. You give them credit for the good and you point out the bad too. That's the only fair thing to do while still being true to the craft.

    Hypothetically...

    You should take the job now and start making the money while you can. There are plenty of very high quality online programs that are accredited and accepted just like the traditional schools that you can use to finish out your bachelors degree in these days. You've got a job offer now. You may...

    I love you TJ Simers

    Ah, the standard liberal crybaby response. Wah, wah, wah. He won't agree with me and he insults me (never mind that when I go around insulting people then THAT is perfectly fine and woe to anyone who tries to infringe on my freedom to say whatever I want) so lets block him and keep him from...

    Best advice yet.

    I can't believe I did it

    Well, I am glad to see you have come to understand your place in the Universe sonny. Now go stick you foot in a giant toilet, do the world a big favor and flush.

    I can't believe I did it

    For those of you who'd like to know who I am, my name is Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged. For those of you who recognize the name, you now know what my purpose on this site truly is. ;D

    I can't believe I did it

    Not just games silly rabbit, but on Sunday's during the NFL season, yes I do write about the games, the players, the issues. The rest of the week I write about a wide variety of subjects, get paid twice as much as I did at my highest paid newspaper gig (which is about 10 time more than you'll...
