And justice for all.
Now comes word that San Francisco Chronicle reporters Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada were ordered jailed for refusing to testify about who leaked them secret grand jury testimony from Barry Bonds and other elite athletes.
So now the score card reads something like this: Victor Conte, Bay Area Lab Co-Operative founder, busted; Greg Anderson, Bonds’ personal trainer, jailed for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating Bonds for perjury and other charges; and two Chronicle reporters ordered to jail for divulging secret grand jury testimony.
And Bonds? Well, he keeps on chugging away at stomping on the hallowed home run mark that Hank Aaron set during an illustrious Hall of Fame career. Bonds said he wants to play next year, which means he wants to be recognized as baseball’s all-time home run king.
Only in your mind, Barry, and a few other baseball groupies who are willing to look the other way at your flaunting the rules. If anyone should be grateful to baseball’s big cover-up for so many years, it should be Bonds. He owes Donald Fehr and Bud Selig huge debts for looking the other way while he developed muscles in his forehead. At least Mark McGwire had the good sense to disappear from view. Not Bonds with his arrogance and superiority complex.
In my mind, Hammerin’ Hank will always be the man.
And speaking of justice, how about Dave Cutaia being assigned to work the Southern Cal-Arizona football game today?
For those of you who don’t know the name, Cutaia was the referee of last week’s Oregon-Oklahoma fiasco. There were enough errors that Cutaia, a Pac-10 official since 1983, was suspended by the conference for one game for “officiating errors on the field.”
But the Tulsa World did some digging and found that Cutaia and Oregon coach Mike Bellotti attended the same high school in Concord. Cutaia was said to be a team trainer at the same time Bellotti was a defensive back at Ygnacio Valley high School.
It gets even better. Since the one-game suspensions for the seven-man-on-field crew were staggered, Cutaia was allowed to work this week. His assignment: USC at Arizona where Mike Stoops, the brother of Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, is head coach. The Stoops brothers are very close, keeping in touch by telephone weekly.
Amazing! Where’s the justice?
