It's easy, and only takes a few moments.It seems to me that there's a mighty thin line between baseball and football when it comes to drugs...and I worry how a serious inquiry into substance abuse in the NFL might affect the game.
Should we welcome an inquiry? Can an inquiry be avoided?
Anyone have any reassuring thoughts on the matter?
i would say, that for all intensive purposes,
"for all intents and purposes"
Sorry, that's a pet peeve of mine. Common mistake.
I know, I'm a ****.

FYI I think Keegs was making a tongue-in-cheek reference to another thread..."for all intents and purposes"

For future reference, the proper term is "for all intents and purposes", not "intensive purposes". Carry on....You sound like a woman fighting for custody, or child support. Enjoy the friggin' season, and the Patriots, for all intensive purposes, may have hedged their bet....
It's like the 9-11 Report that came out a few years ago. George Bush has done almost nothing that the Commission recommended. I expect MLB and the Players Union to largely ignore the Mitchell Report.

I think you have to put an asterisk next to the Yankee championships of the late nineties....That should shut up the New Yorkers..........
Other than that they are sports played in America and they try to bump each other off the back pages of newspapers during the months of September and October, they have nothing to do with with each other.
Yes, the NFL has come a long way from it's drug-drenched nadir in the '70s. But no, of course it's not "clean." Remember that Rodney's foray into HGH wasn't caught by the league but by an outside criminal investigation -- and even then, only because he was extremely careless. Surely there are juiced players on every team.

I want to move this thread. I want to move this thread bad.
But I don't want to get my anti-baseball, nothing but steriod on the sports shows since yesterday, bias in the way of having a thread remain on the main football forum page.
So help me out. Should this be moved to the Red Sox forum?
