This is going to sound really weird coming from me, since I have been (and still am) a pretty firm believer that Bonds has used steroids...

One reporter just asked Bonds if he thinks this record is tainted. Right, like Barry is going to say "You know, I think now that I've done it, its time I let you guys in on a bit of a secret..."

For what its worth, that's the only guy I've heard talk about steroids in this press conference. What I'm also noticing is that Barry is handling himself with a TREMENDOUS amount of class throughout this conference. I am simply in shock. If he could've found a way to act throughout his entire career the way he's handled himself tonight, he might actually be liked by a majority of fans outside of SF....

He doesn't even want the ball from the fan. If this is all a line of BS he's feeding us...wow.

lol, this is the sad part. watch enough of his interviews and you'd see that he is very nice WHEN NOT ASKED STUPID [censored] QUESTIONS.

my guess is that this is the first barry interview you've ever seen.

It's way too hard to do this when you're constantly surrounded by media asshats. He has to work hard enough at baseball already, he doesn't have anymore energy to expend humoring a bunch of crappy journalists who couldn't care less about Barry Bonds besides what they can get for their story.

Barry Bonds has been an [censored] since his days at ASU.
Now he probably gets more [censored] than anyone from the media but it is large part because he is such a huge [censored] in the first place.

I'm a youngun so I don't remember all that much about what crap John Rocker got from the media at the time but I'm guessing its 1283812381828812x less than what Barry got the last week.

Rocker got a ton of [censored]..but it is vastly different. Rocker was some nobody...a flash in the pan.
Bonds is the [censored] in terms of baseball players. Even before juicing he was in the top .01%.

Bonds brought on the majority of heat he has gotten with his general attitude + being a prick + plus using roids. But once you get on the bad side of reporters over years n years you'll never get back on their good side.

It's fitting that the greatest player to ever live now has the greatest record in sports.

I'm glad to see this happen. I could write a long post about my thoughts on steroids, but I'm drunk, so I'm not going to. I was rooting for him to break the record (and have been doing so for awhile), and I hope that people view it as the legitimate record.

That said, [censored] you Barry. I made a bet in the 3rd inning that he would hit it out in his at bat. He singled, only to hit the record-breaker in his next at bat. I run so bad. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Edge, do you not follow baseball very much?

This is pretty standard stuff, Bonds has class and shows respect, while at the same time is a bit antisocial and hates stupid questions.

Then the next day writers tear him apart.

No kidding.

By chance, did you catch her on ESPN Radio this afternoon?

She had some interesting anecdotes on her time the past week with the Giants.

[/ QUOTE ]
I missed that.

No doubt I'm giving her a couple of extra points on the hotness scale because she's talking about sports, much like guys overrate chicks in poker because they play. But whatever, if I was an athlete I'd take a stab at her, and not the lame Joe Theismann drunken variety.
