Steroids and Baseball

I have blogged about this before, and it is an issue I care about for some reason. Beyond my love of baseball, I am fascinated by what happens when a lie spins out of control. The Roger Clemens vs. Brian McNamee Saga has been riveting. As much as the actual accounts of what happened, I have been unable to ignore the coverage of this story. I listened to almost every minute of the congressional hearings and have come to two conclusions- 1. Congress is a joke and 2. American media outlets are equally ridiculous. The two sources of decent commentary on this saga are Dan Patrick, who has been great on this from the beginning, and very surprisingly the Daily Show. I love the Daily Show, but it always saddens me a bit when they make the most sense. Here is there coverage which is far and away better than anything I have seen on ESPN or the news networks:
