In Case You Missed It
I found it interesting this week that Rodney Harrison was hired by NBC to become part of their "Football Night In America" galaxy of stars. (BTW- do we really need 12 guys to tell us what is going on during halftime? It's a separate issue, but how about cutting back instead of adding NBC?)
Andy and I have both commented on the difference in treatment that baseball and football get over PED use and this is a great example. Harrison was suspended for HGH use by the NFL and now he is going to be a high-profile analyst for the sport he cheated in. Can you imagine Sosa, McGwire, Bonds or Clemens getting that gig in baseball? Has anyone heard from Palmeiro since he got suspended? And, Harrison was only suspended in 2007, so his offense is "fresher".
If you have read this site before you know that I think Bud Selig is a joke and the whole drug policy is terribly inadequate, but baseball takes way too many lumps for it all. There is no excusing the cheating, but can't the blame be spread more evenly?
