Re: Ryan Braun tests positive for PED
I'm so sad man, he's one of my favorite players too. he's the least guy I would think of doing something like that..he's just so talented and gifted, he has probably the best shot compact swing in the baseball....and soo all around type of talent. all and all...., I wouldn't be shocked if Pujols did it but Braun? REALLY? Damn man. this is sad especially coming off with a MVP season.

And a lot of people thought we were transitioning out of that era. This is a f*cking shame.

Uh, really? Am I the only one who doesn't even care about this? If anything, Major League Baseball comes out of this looking pretty damn good. They caught the "cheater", publicized it and punished him for it. That means the system is working.

he's one of the young stars for their league and just won the MVP, to me it'd be like if lebron tested positive for steroids considering he's one of the faces for your league.

Agreed.
Nobody is going to stop players from cheating if they choose to.
All MLB can do is enforce its policies and move on.
Braun, if this holds up, has tarnished his career permanently and will lose a third of a season. To me, that's pretty significant.
Basketball is driven by three principles:
1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

Agreed. I do feel bad for Kemp though. He should have won it anyway.

I can't wait until ESPN tries to spin this into more baseless accusations against Jose Bautista.

Apparently he might be telling the truth but even then, his reputation is basically done for the foreseeable future.

Basically all of the proceeding comments besides the last one is why this really sucks. Everyone has already called him a piece of **** lying cheater. ESPN really **** the bed on this one, and I hope Braun sues them if he ends up being innocent.

Well....they cheat in the NFL, NCAA, NBA, NASCAR, Soccer, the Olympics, and every other sport that exists.
I guess you'll just have to stop watching all sports.
