I would agree if it were just the caller. But the hosts totally took it off the reservation from there. I just don't see Dale and Holley going there on someone like Pennington.

Brady's weight gain was at a natural pace over the course of a number of years. He didn't have that Nomar, leave the clubhouse in October 180 lbs, report in March 220 lbs ballooning. And, as others have mentioned, unless they're putting "cool" in syringes now, you can't inject his poise or ability to read defenses.

Steroids/HGH increase bat speed. Increased bat speed provides the ability to catch up to pitches you would ordinarily miss. That means it does help you find the ball with your bat. Also, fly balls outs became extra base hits and homeruns, ground ball outs became rockets through the hole. As for football, it is foolish to think steroids provide no benefit. Increased power and explosion provide great advantages at virtually evry position, and the ability to recover from not just serious injury but the weekly grind through aid of chemical enhancements is another advantage over clean players. It also could increase arm strength for a Qb, the ability to throw the deep out and the sideline pass, crucial so that defenses don't cheat toward the middle of the field as they do vs Pennington.

if Brady is juicing, he is getting screwed by his supplier

he has put on muscle, but come on, that kid is still pretty thin. the whole premise is pretty funny!

This is just NY media striking out after some of their "stars" had the shine taken off of them the other day. Don't give them the time of the day!

The hosts said they didn't know but he could be and then went on to say "how could he if he's impregnating all these women?". Then they start talking about drugs he could be taking to counter the effect and reiterated that he could be juicing.

I don't mind some banter back and forth but this seemed a little over the top.

Did they see the SNL skit where Brady had his shirt off or sleeves off or something, b/c I did, and anyone who did clearly saw that Tom Brady is definitely not on steroids. He's one scrawny dude.

I don't see how this can be classified as being "totally dissed."

I put it that way because of the way they (the show's hosts) quickly classified Brady as someone who might be juicing but then the comment (again, made by the show's hosts) about impregnating multiple women would be a reason why he "couldn't be juicing" sent it to the arena of disrespect. At least in my book it did.

There's a huge difference between putting on muscle over the years and blowing up over one offseason.

New York fans are, on the whole, very stupid.

You forgot extremely jealous also, especially that fat @#@# francesa! I wonder how long i would last on the air with them if i just openly accused his hero Jeter or Williams for doping without even a tiny shred of evidence or proof to back it up!
