    No I have outted you for what you are a garden variety white bigot who hates the every idea that Black males trump everything you have adored and worshipped with ease ..

    BTW tell you Black wife she could have done so much better even with a run of the mill colored guy..lol,lol,lol

    The only thing you've "outted" is yourself - as a contemptible BLACK racist and bigot. Yes, they do exist. So absorbed in their insecurities about "the Man" and worry over kowtowing to him, that they descend to the level of moral termites and extol the "virtues" of criminals like Vick and Bonds, and that lot of recent Cincinnnati Bengals charged with various crimes. It is the worship of such criminals, as Bill Cosby noted, that keeps the whole black male community back - because too many impressionable young black males follow in the wrong footsteps.

    They regard those like MLK and Henry Aaron as too 'weak' and not real men, for their liking. They'd rather run to Notorious Big, or the latest black sports criminal to make the news. A sad and sorry state.

    As for my wife, you are right in one sense - she passed on numerous classless black pseudo-macho losers who revere violence and use of the word "bitch" without giving it a thought.

    In other words, she passed on classless, posturing gangstas, thuggies and prejudiced fools like yourself. "Penis envy" - ha! That's a good one. Just typical of the swill so many loser black males draw on when they KNOW they have lost the debate.

    Case closed, maestro. Now, go back to kissing the butt and sucking the dick of your little Bonds figurine. What an asshole!

    "Wesley_Powell" (aka "Trasher", "Kstone", etc. barfed

    We Have a moron in our midst............75 percent of Bonds homers questionable? He had over half his homers before the steroid allegations, which began in 1999

    HELLOOOOO! As the recent article by David Ramsey et al noted, the "allegations" may have commenced in 1999 but he was USING before that. (It almost always takes much longer for the allegations to surface, from the initial time of the drug use. The same thing was true for Rickey Williams and his marijuana use. Rickey was using 5-15 YEARS BEFORE THE ALLEGATIONS SURFACED).

    So who's the "moron"? Looks like you, Mr. "Powell" or "Trasher" or whatever you plan to call yourself when you next sign in with a new screen name and password.

    Ramsey et al's statistical study is unimpeachable and discloses that Bonds begins taking his 'roids hit, and increasing his performance across the spectrum, from at least 1994. The coefficient of determination doesn't like about that, and the standard deviation (even without calculating the CD) shows it even indirectly. You going to sit there on your ass and tell me with a straight face that up to one-third of Bonds' HRs in any given year are statistically deviant? And there is NO PROBLEM, 'Man.

    Riiiigghhht. And Michael Vick doesn't do dog fights - rather he lets his "homies" put them on. And Rickey Williams never ever ever took MaryJane before the allegations surfaced. And Ray Lewis was just minding his own beeswax in Atlanta in 2002, at SB 36.

    Yeah, and I have an ocean-front 30,000 sq. ft. home on the east shore of Barbados for you (or any other moron) that buys that hog swill.

    Sheesh. It's fascinating to behold the level of brain deformity and mutton-mouthed crappola some will resort to in order to defend that loser Bonds. Here's hoping the fool get his next homer (754) but can't get any more after that. Consigned to remain forever one behind the all-time great Henry Aaron.

  • More egregious Bonds codswallop

    "Kstone" harrumphed:

    Notice that he can't even attempt to rebut your "pre-steroid allegation" comparison between Bonds and Aaron.

    El wrongo, chief. I demolished that canard about twelve posts ago - maybe you missed it. Can you say "coefficient of determination". How about standard deviation - of errr....15.36 Homers PER YEAR!

    Wifey just had a look at the last few pages of posts from the "three stooges" and nearly rolled over in fits, laughing. SHe admonished me to find something else to occupy as this was getting to resemble a Rottweiler mauling three annoying Dachsund pups.

    She also concurs that the "three stooges" are one and the same persona. As she put it: "The odds of three different people continuing to praise Bonds when most everyone else has left the thread are slim and none."

    Ahhhh....but her words don't count since she doesn't know any better than to marry a "honkie" - right?
