The Right Attitude for Entrepreneurship
What’s the right attitude for Entrepreneurship? This serial entrepreneur might be your angel in disguise! …
I think the world would be better off without Keith Olbermann.
I’m not a huge fan of bonds either but saying that he is a shame to this
country is a bit harsh.
Gotta love Olbermann. He tells it like it is.
He is a shame to the country? PEDs or not, to say someone shamed a country
over a sport is quite pathetic and ignorant.
P.S. Juice or no juice. On any given day… Bonds was the best player in
the game.
Get lost Keith Olbermann. Boy, you’ve heard that a few times, haven’t you?
Expect to hear it a few more. Your a overly opinionated hack, regardless of
what your topic is. Why don’t you throw in a couple of George Bush remarks
so that you can feel significant the same way Bill Maher does when nothing
else is working. How much would it cost for you to just go away? Your
opinions are pathetic and pointless and you’ll soon be out of a job AGAIN.
For christ’s sake, your doing an opinion show on ESPN2 at 11pm. How much
faith can ESPN possibly have in you if that’s the best thing they can offer
you? You might as well be selling car wax on infomercials at 3am.

That is possibly the ugliest suit I’ve ever seen in my life.
Anyway, Olbermann is jealous that he, in his best day, wasn’t even 1% of
the player that Bonds would be today. He’ll probably kill himself when
Bonds gets elected to the Hall.
Keith Olbermann, shut the fuck up.
“You cheated the game.” — There was more of an offensive drop when they
banned amphetamines than when they started testing for steroids. You know
who used amphetamines in their careers? Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Mike
Schmidt, Chipper Jones, Ted Williams was an initial source, Pete Rose –
hell, Willie Mays and Willie Stargell were distributing them to players.
Steroids make you bigger and stronger, but if you’re tired, you’re tired.
They don’t do much for that. Amphetamines keep players mentally aware and
on their A-game. And everybody in pro sports will use them if they think
they can get away with it. They became pros because they have that drive.
And they WILL look for every edge they can get. Evidence? Spitballs, pine
tar, sharpening spikes for sliding, steroids, amphetamines, bat-corking.
They’ve always done this, and they always will.
I’m glad that next to no one ever looks up any information before spouting
off their opinions. Who cares about facts?!
this guy is a jackass
Olbermann act’s like bond’s did something to him personally, kind of
strange to act so angry, relax dude noone cares.
Good god, you’d think Bonds murdered Olberman’s children or something, take
a chill pill bro.
ive never gotten this ousting of bonds. for the dozens and dozens of repeat
and caught cheaters in the mlb, i expect keith olberman to make a similar,
if not more scathing segment on each of them. Barry Bonds was certainly not
the first, and not the last steroid enhanced user, but somehow this goof
wants us to believe that he was worse than all of them? When bonds used
them at a time when steroid use was rampant and not even remotely
discouraged by the league?
And the way his rant trends, he seems to want to demonize all cheaters who
desecrated the game and posted illegitimate numbers. And with dozens of
self admitted cheaters in the hall of fame, i’ll expect olberman would want
them out as well. otherwise, this is just a hypocritical hack standing on a
soapbox, who obviously didn’t care enough to do enough research to not come
off looking like a ignorant fool.
Olbermann can be a bit over bearing but keep in mind this guy does care
about baseball. I don’t think his agenda goes beyond a genuine love of
baseball, baseball history and baseball culture. When you consider what
people like Bonds did to these things and how rich and famous they got
while leaving names like Roger Maris in the dust- I think you can
understand how someone like Olbermann- or any of us who care about the
sport feel.
Most Americans don’t know who Roger Maris is. Most Americans can’t tell you
much more about Lou Gehrig other than he was reportedly great and baseball
and ALS was mostly renamed after him.
Is this fair? And did people like Barry Bonds get rich and become famous
while helping to bury the legacy of others? You know the answers.
Sorry Keith Olbermann. Barry Bonds doesn’t give a fuck about what you say.
I’m surprised to see people sticking up for Bonds. The guy was a cheat and
an asshole. Enough said.
Olbermann shut the fuck up how about you do that instead of bashing one of
the top 10 players to ever play in Major League Baseball. How does this
clown have a show on ESPN of all Networks. Barry Bonds could care less what
you have to say German Nazi muthafucka.
let pete rose in the hall of fame he diden,t do any worser
Hey, reporters, instead of asking him questions you know he is not going to
answer, why don’t you ask questions that pertain to the reason he is there.
You know, to actually get valuable and insightful information to report.
He was there to give guys tips on how to improve their skills at the
plate, surprisingly enough (yes, I know), NOT to give a speech about his
PED use.
I feel he need to be in the hall of fame. People act like Barry killed
someone. There’s way more going on for people to still keep getting on this
man. Use your time and money people without a place to stay or kids with no
food to eat. America at time waste time on things a lot of people really
wish they use it for something better the country. I really think some just
wait for a reason to get on people. Other mlb players have gotten caught,
been punished and back in baseball and still playing.. what about teams
that won the world series and had bad players on they teams. Do u take the
win back? Hmmm?
Bonds brings it on himself with responses like ‘I already went to court,
and that’s how I’ll leave it’.
People like Bonds and Lance Armstrong is part of the reason why I stopped
watching sports years ago.
Typically Olberman is good, but his rant is a bit over the top. As a fan of
baseball, I enjoyed watching him compete and excel in an imperfect system
When baseball failed to attract younger fans to the sport in the 90’s,
Bonds/McGuire/Sosa/Clemens generated a buzz unrivaled then and now. MLB
should thank them or return the billions generated to the sport. Let’s be
fair, if we’re erasing Bond’s numbers because of the’ disgrace’ he brought
to the sport, please erase Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig’s numbers because both
willingly participated in a racist, exclusionary league that relegated
Black athletes to the Negro League & Latin America, remove all players from
the 70’s who used illegal drugs & PEDS, remove the ’86 METS World
Series for being the face of cocaine and walk to Cooperstown to remove the
bust of Gaylord Perry. Most of these baseball writers are out of touch and
too concerned with ancient traditions like hitting a batter with a 90 mph
baseball because the previous batter looked at his homerun too
long, considered Jose Reyes a ‘hotdog’ for waiving to fans during a game or
admonished Ken Griffrey Jr. for wearing his hat backwards. A baseball
writer’s true power is post career awards therefore they want, in fact
need, players to ‘chuck and jive’ off the field rather than perform on.
Bonds was no hero but too often portrayed by the press as a ‘defiant black
man’. I have a questions to KO…..you didn’t enjoy watching
managers instruct their ace or closer intentionally walk Bonds with the
bases loaded and the GIANTS down by one run in the top of the 9th? – BONDS
= GOAT
olbermann is a joke
Complete Bullshit. Bonds was competing in a time in Baseball where EVERYONE
(or the vast majority) was juicing. He was singled out as the villian
because he was the most successful at it. People also seem to be quick to
forget that even back as far back as the 60s, players were seeking for a
drug-induced edge via amphetamines. Even The Great Bambino, Babe Ruth
himself was known to eat bulls testicles in the belief back then that it
increased testosterone levels and gave you a better physical edge at the
game.
So damn annoying that the baseball players who were caught cheating are not
even half of them. I realize I have no proof, but I am certain that Ken
Griffey Jr used steroids, as well as Jim Thome, Frank Thomas, Magglio
Ordonez, Ivan Rodriguez, Larry Walker…….plus lesser known players like
Brandon Inge, Craig Monroe, the list goes on.
