Re: Favorite atheletes
I think he's funny because he tells off reporters constantly. I don't think saying what he really feels makes Bonds a jerk, it just makes him more honest than 99% of the ballplayers and media writers out there. I like people that speak their minds and don't take crap from anybody.
I understand that some people think Bonds is a "cheat" and a "liar" for the whole supplements issue, and he probably is in a way, but not in a way that's any different from his peers. So many people in MLB use that crap that it's not fair to single out Bonds. I would say the only reason he's been made the poster boy for this crap and not Canseco, Sosa, Clemens, Caminiti or any of the other users both proven and just obvious, is because he doesn't kiss enough reporter ass. I'm not going to excoriate him for something that half of MLB has been doing just because he doesn't give the reporters good enough Uncle Tom.
