As for the McGwire news - he shouldn't have taken steroids, but I'm more bothered by the way the public and press are foaming at the mouth about it. All the writers who wanted him to come clean are now picking at the way in which he "came clean."
(And I feel the same way about Bonds, Clemens, Pettite, and all the others.)

I personally respect him more for coming clean, though I have to snicker at his assertion that the steroids had nothing to do with his home runs. Whatever! Yes, steroids alone won't make you hit homeruns, but with timing and hand eye coordination, the extra strength from the steroids sure won't hurt!
