Have you had that talk yet with your kids about STEROIDS, or otherwise known as “performance enhancing DRUGS”, as the pros call them. Just drop out the first two words in that title, and that’s exactly what you should be warning the athlete in your family about.
I’m wondering how quickly the number 34 Red Sox jerseys will depreciate in price over the next 24 hours, as news of Big Papi allegedly taking steroids in 2003, surfaces to Fenway fans.
As if a shot or two of steroids didn’t work for certain New York Yankees players, to boost their homerun tally, AccuWeather.com says the dimensions of the new Yankee Stadium, not wind factors, are responsible for a surge in homeruns hit by the Yankees, according to an AP report in the Concord Monitor.
Are you looking for a Halloween costume idea? How about dressing up as your favorite athlete, with a little humor thrown in.
**How about a Brett Favre costume. You could “pass” out treats instead of receiving it. If you’re anything like him, you’ll definitely throw the candy in the wrong hands!
**Tom Brady would make a good Halloween character too. No need for a uniform there. Just limp a little, and make sure you are accompanied by at least one woman (preferably pregnant).
