Little OT but I've asked this question on other websites - why does baseball get crucified when a player tests positive, but NFL players are given a 5 game suspension and maybe mentioned in the bottom of an ESPN scroll? Yesterday you couldn't turn the channel without seeing a discussion on A-Rod, but Shawn Merrimen gets busted, sits out a few games and comes back like nothing ever happened. I turned from the MLB network where everyone was killing A-rod to the NFL network where some offensive lineman is benching 225 pounds (i'm guessing never saw the actual weight displayed) 40 times to win a strength contest.
