    Quite possible, perhaps likely?

    God I hope you're a make-believe character now. NO ONE could be that delusional.

    Thanks Indian!

    I probably needed the pep talk as well to get back on track - you are 100% correct.

    I will ignore further attacks and isults (or at least try my very best)

    Umm ... JDV? Did you read Stark's column?

    It has nothing in there about you. It has nothing in there about training. It has nothing in there about "scoops" or "proof" or evidence.

    Stark was being honest with himself that he wasn't going to indict a whole era of players when he couldn't make it clear who did or did not use performance enhancers.

    Quit sullying Stark's good name. Quit sullying Tim Brown's good name.

    You're doing a disservice to these two fine journalists by latching on to their work ... when it has nothing to do with you.

    Damn I resembled this remark yesterday, when I was being a jerk about things like laws of gravity. :)

    Oh yeah, now Flash knows his stuff on training. Yes! :)

    Question:
    You say, "many certs (as you understand it)," well what about all the other "certs" that take more time? I just think it is funny you dismiss all certs because some of them can be gotten in a weekend course.
    Even if they are "easy" to get, I still think you should get them, don't you?

    You've been venting for 27 pages and yet still have nothing real to offer anyone in the line of a scoop. You may know more about training, you may be smarter, you may have a couple of pieces of paper from a few cute schools, you probably are a better athlete than me (I haven't been considered 'elite' since my teen days and I quit at that time because an education was more important) ... oh and by the way, my team finished last at the B slo-pitch nationals but I don't consider that a glowing accomplishment any more than I give a rat's ass which trumped up powerlifting association granted you a nationals title.
    Funny thing is, I never claimed I was smarter, went to better schools or was in better shape than you.
    I'm just trying to figure out what exactly it is you're trying to offer my cronies here on this message board. Because what it boils down to is 'I know Mark McGwire and that's enough for you to believe me.'
    You've done nothing but waste everyone's time, although you have provided some very solid entertainment.

    You think your media credentials are better than mine? Congratulations. I don't think you have any credentials or credibility. You are a self-aggrandizing, delusional fool, likely suffering from mid-life crisis.

    This site, however, will not enlarge your penis.

    Hey Flash! Just had a scoop for you, straight from Rok...

    Apparently, you're a guy!

    Knows her stuff, thank you. And you still haven't hit the part where I rip your brother.

    JDV - Gotta agree here. You're being a bit too defensive. Chill a bit, even if you feel like you've already answered a question, or you have a right to be defensive (which I think you do). That's in your best interest. :)

    Should I post a pic of the rack?

    Yes. Some of us didn't get to see it the first time. Of course, JDV may just disparage your rack and say his is better.
