I am seriously laughing at the thought of the NFL being able to find this alleged video tape, but did not have the Ray Rice tape.
 
Oh the NFL is so good at drawing attention and keeping people hooked.
 
Even if this video tape does exist, I find it to be poor judgement for someone other than the referees to transfer the balls to the field. Once the refs inspect them, they should be responsible for them. 

Its been tiresome and the whole story is just so worthless.
 
I'd almost rather have another insignificant LeBron or Manziel story.

He's a few weeks away from being in the best shape of his life

For AO

Personally, I'd blame the refs OR the people in charge of all this. How freaking hard is it to get new balls or just pump those back up again?! Isn't that easy and  (part of) their job?
 
Don't the refs pick up the football and mark it what yard line it's at after EVERY PLAY? Wouldn't they have noticed this? Why were they even in play to start with?!
 
If people brought shaved dice into a casino and played craps with them... I sure as hell wouldn't blame the player. Of course, that'd never happen.
 
I say this all as a Raven fan, too.

A lot of teams play not to lose and then do just that.

I knew I was screwed +7 as soon as I saw Adam say on FB that Indy was going to win big.

Depends on what your team need is. People really underrate average players. Average players aren't that easy to find. If they were, teams wouldn't have gaping holes at positions. 

Yeah, I thought that was really well done too.
 
I almost confused it with BART.

They just don't want to incite more riots.

Fixed.

Hopefully no one went out to buy an Escobar jersey.

Sorry Jim, I can;t get past your avatar. Did you say something?

This is still jumping the gun...we're not even at Spring Training yet and Texas is dismissed way too easily.

Asking guys to be decent and not take steroids (especially when you had a ticket to the hall of fame already punched halfway through your career) isn't a lot to ask.

but there's different credentials for wanting someone on your team and them getting into the hall of fame.

Yeah, maybe they'll get some prospects like Addison Russell, Daniel Robertson, Boog Powell......

Yes.

Fake Bo Pelini â€@FauxPelini  @Dstad17 This is garbage let's ask for a recount
 
 
 
Darin Erstad ‏@Dstad17 @FauxPelini I wonder what that one person was thinking?
 
 

Another dumb rule (can only vote for seven max) and I can't really blame the guy for doing this.

As for me...
 
Biggio
Nomar (if he didn't have the injuries).
Johnson
Pedro
Piazza
Smoltz
Raines
Smith
Mussina
McGriff
Schilling
 
and just cause I want to...Jeff Kent.
 
You know what..screw it. I vote for Nomar, too.
 
 
 
Bagwell...like ya..but nah.
Clemens. No.
Bonds. Hell no.
Edgar. Can't do it.
Percival. Maybe
Sosa. Yeah, right.
Trammel. Nah.
McGwire. Still my one of my favorite players..but can't do it.

Baseball is more than just HRs.  Sosa was much more of a one-trick pony than McGwire.
 
McGwire 163 OPS+
Sosa 128 OPS+
