Smith’s story begins with

Moore, as has been the
case for most of their rac

“He came over to the

The Braves,
it just might
be a crime
Sometimes, I wish
I could lay some
info on you that
would inspire or agitate
or elucidate, but, frankly,
I’m tapped out.
That Michael Jackson
trial wore me out. Why
can’t we have things like
that in sports?
The media tried to
make steroid use a big
deal. Even Congress took
time off from rooting
around for lobby money
like pigs at a trough.
It’s always interesting
to see politicians take the
high road. Ted Kennedy
gets drunk and kills a girl
then yells at John Denver
because of his song lyrics.
You have to love it.
Alas, the steroid abuse
case couldn’t push people
to press the buttons on
their remotes until they
reached a sports channel.
I think you can take
‘roids until you’re cross
eyed and no matter how
much you bulk up, you
still have to hit an object
moving in excess of 90
miles an hour and break
ing every which way as it
comes at you.

Favorite sport: Baseball. “I

What’s wrong with sports
today?
“The pros make too much
money. They don't have to
hustle like they did in the 60's
and 70's. Everything's geared
towards hitting home runs. ”
What’s right with sports today?
“You still have some quality
people in (sports) that shine
through. ”
If you were King of sports,
what would you change?
“I would put a ceiling on
the amount of money they
can make. I'd use incentive
clauses based on their per
formance. "
