WOW! What an insult to Bill Russell. To paraphrase Phil Hartman as Sinatra, Russell has chunks of guys like Barry Bonds in his stool.
Bonds has always been a miserable SOB. If any members of the media hate him, it's because he's earned it. He treats them like complete and utter crap, and it's not this ridiculous "he doesn't kiss the press's ass" nonsense. It's because for years he's looked them in the face and lied.
In fact, he'd be a great fit for the Bush White House - a lying cheater who abdicates responsibility for anything he does and blames the press and anyone else he can for his self-inflicted problems and controversies.
It's too bad that he's going to pass Aaron, but at least his record won't stand very long. And, of course, it's fitting that Barry will have to quit the game having never won a World Series.
