Jerry Sandusky Scandal

I have a bitter taste in my mouth when reading anything involving Jerry Sandusky. I don't really know how a sick human like him could even exist. I believe there are thousands of lies in the trial, but it obviously is evident in scandals like this. I believe that Dottie Sandusky truly was unaware of the actions taken place in her home. That is just what I believe, but realistically only Jerry and the 26 men know what really happened. The trial is such a touchy subject because no one really knows what entirely happened, and how can you prove anything without noticeable evidence. No one is above the law, however, and obviously this cannot be taken lightly in any regard. I think that cases like these involve very important, influential people. This can result in proceedings taking years, but it is all in good time. People have to realize the money involved with lawyers defending the individual. They get paid so much money, and can provoke officials to postpone the trial for longer than it needs to be. We just live in a country with an imperfect court system, but honestly how can it be perfect? There will always be flaws, and loopholes.

Interviews

Steroids in sports have been an ongoing issue that is very controversial in our world. Illegal enhancement in any form is seen as morally unjust, and basically cheating. The breakout of steroids began in the late 70's, when multiple scientists perfected the "drug". It was primarily in football, until the late 90's. Baseball was struck by many allegations and scandals following the 96 season. This issue is very relevant in my life considering I play baseball, and other sports as well. I also am an avid fan of the MLB, and it breaks my heart to see players cheat. I asked a series of questions pertaining to steroids in sports as a whole. The questions were as follows; what are your thoughts on steroid use? Do you believe people inducted into a profession Hall of Fame should be removed solely on past steroid use? Do you think the majority of steroid use is in Major League Baseball? When do you think steroids were first made public? Would you consider steroids if you were on a Major League Baseball team in danger of getting benched, or cut?
I interviewed Matthew Bukouski and Andrew Steele, both having decent intellect regarding the subject. I interviewed Matt first, and he had a strong opinion. He said that steroids are very bad, and are considering cheating. He believed that if steroids impacted their performance in a way that should not allow them to be in the Hall, then they should not be. He stated that baseball is the focal point of all steroid use. The late 1990's is when he believe steroids originated. Personally, Matthew said he would not use steroids in any instance considering the danger in taking them. He believed that they are bad for his body, if he were to take them, that is.

Andrew Steele also believed steroids are cheating. He said that people already indicted, should stay inducted. He stated that steroid use is mostly in the MLB. He believed steroids started in the 1970's. He said he would not take steroids no matter what.

Lebron James played a record breaking game against the Charlotte Bobcats. He had the best game of his career with 61 points. This solidified his spot for MVP many say, but others say its just too expected of him to over-preform. He helped the Miami Heat prevail 127-104 in a game where he had 8 three point shots. He was 22-33 from the field, and broke his previous record of 56 points in a game with the Cavaliers. At the half, Lebron had an outstanding 24 points, which was surpassed by 39 in the last half. His coach Erik Spoelstra stated, "he was in a great grove tonight." Sports Center gave Lebron multiple segments on 3/3/14, and 3/4/14 showing how great of a night he had. Not many people believed a troubled child from Akron could be doing so many great things like James. This accolade just adds to his prowess as a renown basketball player. On the international level, Lebron definitely has made his mark for being one of the best players in the world. This milestone was a small one compared to the large quantity of future milestones he will undoubtedly achieve to solidify his attempt at being the best basketball player to ever live.
