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.

Are you suggesting Larry Allen is on steroids?
Baseball gets crucified because steroids resulted in the complete destruction of the record book, which baseball purists hold sacred. It's the most stats driven, obsessive sport and fans debate statistics and what they mean more than any other sport.
Plus, baseball sucks.
