Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
I’m a fan, Dave, but you’re characterizing the PED issue in totally the wrong way. He’s been using since high school, and the fact that he’s still using now isn’t motivated by money – which he’s already guaranteed for the rest of his career, barring suspension – but by a desire to perform well. Whether that’s because he cares about the team and wants to win, or about wanting to be considered the greatest ever, I have no clue. But if anything, he’s risking money by continuing to use PEDs at this point in his career.
That was meant to say the A-Rod PED issue.
That’s hardly certain.
