Bob Gibson > MSM

I've mentioned my thoughts here on the lame moralistic postition most of the mainstream sports media has taken on the steroid issue, and now I've seen that Hall of Famer Bob Gibson has put my thoughts into words better than I ever could have myself (hat tip to Shysterball):

Guys have always been cheating. Period. It just takes a little different form today. I'm just glad they didn't have steroids when I was playing. I don't know what I would have done. It's very difficult to go out and perform when you know the guy next to you is taking steroids or some kind of drug to make you perform better and not do it yourself, to let this guy get an edge on you . . .

. . . I don't know that I really criticize the guys. Whoever the first guy is that started it, that's the guy I criticize. The rest of the guys just followed suit. I don't think its OK. I'm not sanctioning it, but I understand why it happens.

Bob Gibson just became one of my favorite Hall of Famers.
