Denny actually praised KM lavishly, the problem he had was with what KM said about running into each other being standard operating procedure for NASCAR drivers, said he thought that was wrongly stereotyping NASCAR drivers.

Yeah people talk s**t about Bonds because he had the audacity to break the record of a beloved sports icon and because he was such a turd to everyone … which he supposedly regrets now but that bed’s irrevocably made … but they ignore people like Tiger and one of the worst PED offenders who ever lived, Evander Holyfield.

Look at photos of Honus Wagner. He probably looks heavy to some eyes but that’s misleading. Dude was literally all chest, like a 60-inch plus chest. Almost like he was misshapen.

He’s someone else from the old days who’d excel today. He actually trained during the off-season with primitive weights he made. He’d be an absolute gym rat today.

George Ruth in 1920 was a world class athlete without an ounce of fat on him. Fast forward him to 2026 with modern training and nutrition and priorities and preparation and even figuring in a little extracurricular activities … players today aren’t exactly celibate or temperance workers … and he probably isn’t matching his exact stats from back then but he’s absolutely going to be among the elite of the elite.

Just like if you transported Shoehi Ohtani back to 1905, pre-Ruth, into the dead ball era. He’s probably going to hit 5 home runs if he’s lucky because not only were the baseballs dead back then, they would try to use one baseball for an entire game, the expectation is that people would throw them back if they went into the stands. And by the end of the game you are talking about a black, soft, misshapen blob dripping with tobacco juice. Plus the fences were sometimes 500 feet away.

But Ohtani would hit .400 and be among the elite of the elite.

Plus if you looked in Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, the huge thick one, under “pandering” you’d see this bill.

Of course when this hit the news people ran here praising the Lord that a white knight was finally riding to the rescue to put these uppity players in their place and restore all that is pure and righteous and holy and traditional about college football, the way God intended it to be.

Here are the gory details and IMO it’s poison as are some of the people whose fingers are on it and just want to feed at the trough in a different way.

But few people on any of the forums here do nuance. It’ll never see the light of day anyway.

Komminsk tore up the minors. Are you aware that the Red Sox offered the Braves Jim freaking Rice and the Braves turned them down because the Red Sox wanted Komminsk in the deal?

Tom Glavine was Komminsk’s roommate and said years later that he thought Komminsk just couldn’t handle the pressure of the majors. Wouldn’t be the first or last example of that, you got to have a special “It” to make it in The Show.

Plus I saw in one reference that half the Braves’ organization at the time including Henry Aaron were on him constantly coaching him and trying to get him sorted out but telling him 100 different things and pulling and turning him 100 different ways until his head was probably spinning like Reagan in The Exorcist.

Private entities are not exempt from antitrust or restraint of trade laws

When people start thinking about college football as a zillion-dollar business no different than, for example, General Motors and not something special because of its tradition and the loyalty of its fans, we’ll get somewhere toward coming up with a way forward here.

We are where we are because of all the money that flooded into this mess, but that ship has long sailed over the horizon.

He was on the top of the world this day.
