I have a good friend who played with Barry at ASU, and some other semi-friends that I see on an annual golf trip that played with him too. He was so hated by his teammates that at one point they voted unanimously to kick him off the team but Jim Brock was like "LOL, no". And I seriously doubt jealousy was in play relative to the level of their disdain. He was the best player on the team, he was the son of Bobby Bonds, but he was also a huge dick.

So...you know a guy who likes to tell a story about him and his team mates trying to get rid of Barry Bonds? He still tells this story? Pretty brilliant guy if you ask me.

Conveying a relevant story about a popular topic du jour makes somebody stupid?

I think he was referring to the fact that the guy is bragging about wanting to kick one the best players in the history of baseball off the team.

The goal of a team sport is to win. You probably have a better shot at winning if your best player is on the team.

I guess it's about the interpretation of the story. I didn't take it as anybody bragging about anything. I envisioned a group of guys out playing golf, talk of baseball and Bonds came up, so ex-teammates tell a relevant story.

Anyway, obviously the two sides of the Bonds issue will always be bickering, so there's little point of continuing to bang heads against the wall.
