Fresh SBL: The Draft, 'The Juice' and the Playoffs


That's right, it's a fr-fr-fresh Sports Bloggers Live, recorded just last night and covering the NFL Draft, steroids in baseball and the NBA Playoffs w/ SI's Peter King, various Pigskin Bloggers, author/blogger/host Will Carroll, a bunch of top bloggers from around AOL and the web, plus we even had a goshdarn podcaster.  Oh, and how could I forget our newly minted Rookie Blogger o' the Week.

Check out the timestamped rundown + highlights on down below (courtesy of Chris the Intern):

Aaron Rodgers, Mike Williams and Maurice Clarett The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

Peter King @ :11

            -:16: Arizona should’ve taken Rodgers at 8.

            -:17: I love JJ Arrington; that was a terrific pick
            -:19: Skins trade for No. 25 was “an insane trade”

            -:20: Clarett should be “utterly thrilled” to go to Denver

            -:22: Clarett is “well worth being picked”

 

Ty from Quick Slants @ :25

 

John from Black & Gold @ :29

            -Steelers got extremely lucky to get “the best TE in the draft”

 

George from Jets Blog @ :32

            -Taking a kicker with their first pick “was a good pick”

 

Sportz Assassin @ :35

 

Will Carroll @ :40

-:44: “At some level the steroid test becomes an IQ test.  If you can’t beat these things, you don’t deserve to.”

-:46: The players who are going to test positive are they players struggling to make it and struggling to hang on.

-:46: Steroids have “more myth in them than fact.”

-:46: “We have no scientific evidence whatsoever that they improve one single skill that is directly translatable to the baseball field.”

-:47: Balco was going about things “the right way.”  I.e. Monitoring patients.

-:48: Bonds didn’t even use The Cream properly; he rubbed it on his joints not his muscles.

-:49: Steroids are “not an epidemic.”  Only 1-4% of pro athletes use them.

-:50: “The myth that these are magical pills that do amazing things has to get broken down before it trickles down to our youth.”

-:50: Bob Ryan’s piece about Nomar is “one of the most irresponsible things I’ve ever heard.”

Jersey Joe’s Corner @ :60

            -:60: Steinbrenner is to thank for parity in baseball

            -1:07: Det. Vs. Philly: “no way that’s watchable”

            -1:07: Chi. Vs. Wash.: “The most exciting series.”

 

Matt from the Spurs Blog @ 1:09

 

Dave from Crazy for the Heat @ 1:11

            -Laettner is a big factor; Heat are 23-1 when he plays at least 14 Mins.

 

Matt from the Bulls Blog @ 1:13

-Claims that Nocioni isn’t a dirty player, but a hustle player who sometimes

    "-Laettner is a big factor; Heat are 23-1 when he plays at least 14 Mins."

    Well.....DUHHHHHH!!!!  If Laettner is playing 14 minutes, the Heat are up by 25 points.

    The Bulls, Lakers and Spurs were 156-0 when Jack Haley played ONE minute.

    2.  Would Will Carroll care to visit Lyle Alzado's grave sometime?
