Steroids, basketball, and NC State

In continuing with recent tradition (as in the last two to three weeks), here are my random thoughts from the weekend.

Alex Rodriguez used steroids. At this point, I am beyond caring. I do consider myself an avid baseball fan and am for purity of the game. But so many stars and regular players have been busted by now, I’m surprised it’s even a headline. Of course, that doesn’t excuse the behavior, it is just starting to look more like the company line, instead of the guilty few.

The defending world champs (NBA) Boston Celtics lost this week to the Spurs and Lakers. They are not defending very well.

As for NC State basketball, it is no longer a question of how many years are left on Lowe’s contract. Now, the question is how much does he want to quit. This team has absolutely no heart. They blew an 18 point lead to one-win Va. Tech. When does football season start?
