Anyone heard who the guest instructors are going to be in Spring this year? Only one i heard for sure was Guidry. Heading down and would love to know who to look for.

I’m no expert in this area, so I’m just speculating here. If there are state or local stalking laws that apply where ARod lives, they probably apply only to people who intend to menace or harass the victim. Roberts doesn’t have a license to break those laws, but she does have a legitimate reason for following ARod around: she is reporting on a celebrity. So she doesn’t run afoul of the law.

Of course, if she really breaks into ARod’s house, she goes to jail just as if you or I did it.

Since she is a celebrity of sorts now (TV appearances and a book), can other reporters try to dig up dirt on her? I see no reason why not.

thanks for clearing that up. makes sense to me.

You can’t. But those who didn’t use and knew about the issue but did nothing to bring the issue to light are as much part of the problem as the users themselves. Somebody or several somebodies neeeded to have the grapes to stand up to the union. Schilling may have come closest with his revelations to SI, but when the chips were really down before Congress he turtled. It was pretty obvious the Union got to him in advance of those hearings.

jeremy-

that can’t be true because there are stalking laws. i just wonder where the line is that separates stalking laws from freedom of the press laws.

while i don’t know what the laws are, i have a hunch that if one is a stalker by nature, becoming a reporter is a good cover

You are right. There is no reason to assume Jeter juiced.

What I meant to write is that we should assume all players juiced for the purposes of HOF voting. We should not keep clearly deserving players out of the HOF because they juiced or because we suspect they juiced.

Players with spotless reputations, like Jeter, should get extra credit for being above suspicion.

Those are reasonable assumptions but they are just that, assumptions. We are not doctors and we don’t know what ARod took. We just aren’t qualified to say what benefits he received from PEDs.

My point is that HOF voters aren’t qualified to do that either.

jeremy-

i don’t agree with that at all. we should assume jeter has juiced ?

i don’t think so. if 50% used steroids. it means 50% didn’t. why should we assume everyone uses?

As far as I know, you and I have the same right to investigate ARod as Roberts does. We can all snoop into ARod’s life as much as we want as long as we don’t break the law.

Correction
Great point you made to Doreen.

As far as Clemons, Bonds and McGwire, I don’t think they will be voted into the HOF.
