He said he is much bigger.... without knowing.spinning27 said:Gold said:Should Conlin have responded? My first thought was yes, because it is kind of outrageous that Doyel would say something like if he didn't have any first-hand knowledge. It's not a question of being a Phillies homer - if somebody is being unfair, a journalist would have more obligation than anyone to point this out.
Unless I'm missing something, Doyel didn't claim that Howard is a cheater. He said that anybody who gets to 60 ever again is going to face questions about whether he's a cheater, and now we have a real-live test case in this guy who indeed had gotten bigger and better and a relatively short amount of time and is now chasing the magical 61.
I don't think that's irresponsible or outrageous.

And I think Conlin was an assclown for writing to Doyel.
And I think Doyel was an assclown for acting like a 7-year-old in defense.
Doyel as Assclown 2, Conlin as Assclown 1.

Not as entertaining as Brett Favre's Personal Cabana Boy vs. Profootballtalk.com, but funny nonetheless.
