I don’t want this to take away from Jeff Kent, because he’s one of the greatest hitting second basemen of all time. But wtf is going on here?!

Take: it’s time to let the steroid era players in the hall. They’ve done their time. Get them in and let’s celebrate what they did for the game.
Roger Clemens has a reasonable claim as the greatest pitcher of all time. Alas, his legacy is clouded by suspicions that he used PEDs.

2026 Contemporary Baseball Era Committee Candidate: Roger Clemens
As with Barry Bonds, the Rocket’s stratospheric statistics and achievements have been overshadowed by his links to PEDs.

Justin Jefferson declined to speak with reporters after the #Vikings’ 26-0 loss in Seattle. He caught two passes, and his four yards were a career low.

Low key drives me nuts that the guy we brought in this offseason, Jordan Mason, just for these short yardage situations and KOC frequently continues to call a pass.

Ironically, that was the best pass a Vikings qb has made all season. Hit the defender right in the numbers.
