I am a pretty big fat dude. I am trying very hard to become a whole lot less of that. So far I have lost 110 pounds. I have a bunch more to go.
I bring it up because I want to tell you about an event that starts tomorrow and I think it is pretty cool.
It is bringing together many people of different fitness levels.
I am happy to give this a shot. It should be interesting. Come on and join in.
Stupid things are being said about the Ryan Braun situation at an alarming rate. So I understand this is going out on a limb but this is probably the worst of them all. I do not know this writer at all but it is easy to see that he is a no opinion hack. He wants to write about this and has nothing relevant to say so he is inventing a terrible ill-conceived theory.
If he was innocent he would have talked for less than 3 minutes?
What a tool.
Ryan Braun stood up and answered the questions and spoke his mind. He did it a whole lot more professionally than most people would have. That is just one of the things he deserves credit for.
This article is so ridiculous I needed to go back and read it again and double check that I hadn’t stumbled across an article from the Onion.
The notion that he is guilty because he won appeal on a technicality is pure horse manure.
The man hired very talented lawyers to stand up for him. They attacked the situation the best way they could represent the client. That was the way to get him off. What other way could they do it? He carried the burden of proof. If a test that you know is false has to be proven false you can’t go with the liar liar pants on fire defense.
MLB is and was incompetent throughout the entire ordeal.
Although it goes against my usual opinion in life. I hope Braun goes through with his threat of legal action and sues the test collector, MLB and ESPN. I am confident that the MVP did nothing wrong in this situation. Of all involved he is the only one that will be able to honestly make that claim.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has the blow by blow on the Ryan Braun press conference. Braun is an impressive guy on and off the field. He came off great in my opinion. A guy who is guilty can’t fake that kind of conviction. The people that continue to not believe and pound at hi can and should go F.
Check out this young dude that scooped the big-donkey-geniuss ”professionals”. He also has a pretty cool blog. The comments below the piece are also pretty entertaining.
I propose that the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel dump that old grumpy turd Tom Haudricourt and put this kid on the beat. I know for sure they would increase the regular reading base by one.
Here is the statement supporting Ryan Braun from Mark Attanasio. I would speculate that it is at his direction that no one is being critical of the media or MLB. It has to be very tempting to grab a mic and blow a whole bunch of people up. This guy is 99% percent business and the fans should feel lucky to have him.
Ryan Braun’s buddy Aaron Rodgers has been all over MLB and ESPN tonight via twitter. He is one of the only other people I have seen who is trashing that scumbag network. Nice to be in such great company. He calls them “some cable company.” Bahahahahaha!
You can see Ryan Braun’s statement right here. You can see MLB’s official statement right here. One is classy and productive. The other one is not.
MLB’s statement is like punching someone in the face for no reason and then publicly complaining that the guys face hurt your hand.
I am angry at myself for actually thinking these jags would actually take responsibility for their obvious errors.
I am so glad the game is so great that it over shadows these ridiculous and dim people.

From the moment that the news that Ryan Braun’s positive test for performance-enhancing drugs was reported by hack-super-power ESPN Braun has maintained his innocence. Texting to the Milwaukee JS calling the PED report B.S.
The reality is that this test should not have been revealed until the appeals process had been completed. The situation exemplifies two major problems.
The first is obvious. MLB has people involved in major decisions that are un-trustworthy.
The second issue is that ESPN has operated with the integrity of a sweat sock for many years.
A few days ago celebrated baseball blowhard Buster Olney suggested that Ryan Braun should give back his NL MVP award. I guess he meant kind of in the same matter that Cubs fans toss back home run balls hit at Wrigley Field.
Olney apparently goes on in the article to suggest what Ryan Braun should say as he gives up the honor that he earned. I can’t give you specifics on what his made up words were as I would never pay a single penny to read this trash.
I feel confident in guessing that these made up words were very unimportant.
Today on the Dan Patrick Show DP talked about his inside sources that may have evidence that clears Braun in this matter. I would like to specifically say that this report does not yet clear up the issue. I am however much more confident about a report made by Patrick quoting his sources than anything that come out of the studios of ESPN.
I am so glad Dan Patrick sprinted away from that awful company when he had the opportunity.
It is ironic that the that this info only became relevant because of the earlier leak by MLB and that this new part of the story is also being leaked. I guess what I am saying is that the front office of MLB also needs to clean up its act in a hurry.
The best chance for Buster Olney to extricate something good from his situation would be to stand up in front of a camera and promptly quit his job as a baseball reporter. He could then go on and make up some reasons that he is quitting. That will not be difficult for him. This time he should make up this crap for free.
Unfortunately that will never happen and the scumbag laden sports super-network would never want him to.
I for one vote yes.
*****Added 2/23/12 Time to step up Mr. Olney. If you had any integrity or heart at all you would be writing your resignation right now.
Ryan Braun has been cleared of PED charges. ESPN once again has been proven to be a hack organization. More to come. Time to dance Brewers fans.
