    Spahn spent almost all of his very-long adult life as an Oklahoma resident, so Oklahoma can claim him as much as Buffalo can. They're not necessarily exclusive of each other.

    Christ.... he's fully clothed, and there is no sexual act occurring.

    What is the problem with publishing those photos?

    Also, how is that related to his heroin problems?

    Because he is admitting that he was drunk, for one thing, which is very dangerous for a recovering substance abuser.

    Also, even with his clothes on, that behavior is out of line for a married man, particularly one who has been so outspoken regarding the importance of religion in his life and in his recovery.

    The photos admit he was drunk?

    No, but all the links above you with him admitting he was drunk do.

    Well, he was shirtless in some of those photos, so he wasn't fully clothed.

    Too bad. The day one of these idiot sites overdoes and gets its ass sued and shut down will be a glorious one.

    I'm sure A-Rod would have loved to have known that info before coming clean. Speaking of which, anyone find it odd that A-Rod handled his steroids story far, far better than Papi -- who stayed silent for nine days and seems to be waiting to see what MLB has on him before adjusting his spin story -- has handled his?

    A-Rod handled his steroids story well?

    Agree that going nine days to "investigate" didn't make him look good, but he could have injected himself on the podium and still come off better than A-Rod.

    Thanks for the link, SP.

    I believe Pujols is very active in charity work regarding Down Syndrome (the man who fell on the field was trying to snag a foul ball for his son, who has Down Syndrome).

    For all the guy does between the lines, he really does a lot with what he's been blessed with, too. Pujols is very generous with his time, talent and treasure, as they say.

    How was it better than A-Rod?

    It's definitely cool to see a classy move like that from Pujols.
