Rise and Shine ---- On PEDs and superheroes

Good Morning and welcome to the PED-free zone!

On the heels of the Internet storm that forced Phillies outfielder Raul Ibanez to emphatically announce he wasn't taking performance enhancing drugs, I give you THIS.
Now, I'll be the first to admit it was fun to see all those home runs hit during the 1990s. The Mark McGwire/Sammy Sosa battle made another "interesting" Phillies season bearable. Then again, what did we expect when the pitching staff not only featured Toby Borland, but also Wayne Gomes and Yorkis Perez?
Now that those 'performance enhancing drugs' are banned from baseball, it's time we took a step further and started testing superheroes. What are we teaching our children? It's OK for some, but not for others?
Sure, Captain America may look like an 'average' guy, but if he can come back from the dead, there's got to be some illegal stuff going on there.
And, what about Superman? After all those battles with Lex Luthor are we supposed to believe he's not getting a little help.
Just replace 'Randy 'The Ram' Robinson' with Superman in the movie 'The Wrestler' and it's the same movie.
Now, don't even get me started on Batman...

Total B.S. You can't just replace Randy the Ram with any old Joe in The Wrestler. Mickey Rourke rocked that role to the gods in that thing. No goody two shoes Clark Kent ala Nicholas Cage could have ever ripped that role into making a washed up but souful character real. Randy knew what he was and was faithful to the path he had chosen to the end. Have you no soul?

And, don't try comparing Randy to the alcoholic in Leaving Las Vegas. That dude didn't even give it one last shot. He just gave up instead of fully embracing the life he chose. He did not face the mess he made; he ran away from it and drowned himself in his self-engrossed ego. Rock you like a hurricane!!!!
