Government Informs Bonds of His Retirement
Written by Chris C on November 16th, 2007
Finally!
If you have been living under a rock Barry Bonds was indicted Thursday for lying to a Federal Grand Jury about his alleged steroid use. Whoops!
Unfortunately Johnnie Cochrane is not available. If he was alive, I am sure he would have his hands full with OJ’s third trial. I guess if you are OJ Simpson and you beat a murder rap, allegedly robbing a sports memorabilia dealer of your own stuff seems doable.
It gets worse for Mr. Bonds. His former trainer Greg Anderson was released from jail and while the experts think it was because he was not needed, I think he might still testify. Anderson’s lawyer denies his client is cooperating with federal authorities but he could be saying that to protect him.
People are also saying that this doesn’t mean a slam-dunk for Bonds losing the case. Federal charges are very serious. I don’t buy the argument that Barry will have an easy time with this.
My guess is Bonds does not testify but Anderson does. That is if it gets that far. I think they probably will settle it before it goes to trial.
Best of all this surely means no Hall of Fame for Barry Bonds. Awwwww

Not a sports fan, so I guess I don’t really care that much.
Hey, I’ve been crazy busy lately, but one of these days I’m going to finish redesigning the humor-blogs site and I’ll make sure I link to your interviews from the bloggers’ profiles.
