McGwire Only Gave Half Of A Confession

A convicted dealer of steroids explaining to ESPN exactly what he provided for Mark McGwire is probably more of the truth than the tearful half-confession McGwire made recently. Who believes he didn't do it to enhance his performance? Who doesn't believe it greatly benefitted his production as a hitter? Who doesn't believe steroid use wasn't as much a part of Mark McGwire's career as batting practice during an extended period of his career?
Not the majority of people who have taken a close look at this.

Random Thoughts

- Jimmy Howard may have let up two late goals to Minnesota last night, but his performance in the shootout more than made up for it. It's looking more and more like he is the Red Wings playoff goalie - assuming they get there. And I believe they will get there. But even if Howard starts the playoffs, it doesn't mean he will end them. It's difficult to imagine Chris Osgood not coming into play.

- Gerald McCoy is a very, very good player. If the Lions get him with the second overall pick in the draft, they will be doing well. It's the second round that will provide the more interesting choice.

The draft seems to be full of excellent D-linemen. Should the Lions consider Eric Berry with their first pick to potentially have a dominating pair of safeties, then use the 2nd round pick on D-line. Maybe Brandon Graham?

Pat,

I have to ask, is Mark McGwire an idiot? Forget about whether or not McGwire thinks that steroids enhanced his stats, he's admitted to violating federal drug law for the majority of his career. We're not talking about creatine or some other supplement banned by baseball but legal for everyone else. McGwire and the rest of the 'roid cheaters belong in jail. At the very least, in my opinion, they should be banned from the game.
