If you wanted a completely illogical argument based on wishful thinking and in no way having any supported facts but uses that always proven to be such a high probability of truth called faith, sure, I guess it can be an argument that proves that.

I figured you had some kind of death wish today with 3 Yankees/Red Sox posts over at NBC and a discussion of God over here, but seems like things are fairly tame. Must be the Friday effect. I think the Papi conference will amount to him saying he did everything he could to find out as much about this test as was possible, that based on what he found out he thinks it might be x y z supplement he got in the DR that triggered it, or x y z trainer in the DR who gave him something that he swore was clean. Given the light treatment he’s gotten so far, if he delivers this right, with candor and not defensiveness, he might be able to pull it off, convince people it was unintentional, and move on. As for him not being treated the same as A-Rod, the fans at Yankee Stadium certainly treated Papi to the same hearty boos that Sox fans offered A-Rod.

I’m quite annoyed that NBC decided to make us register for entirely new commenter accounts when they switched CtB around. Seems kind of unnecessary if you ask me. I know it’s minor, but that’s the kind of thing it’s better not to do to your users. Especially since it was without warning.

Sorry Grant.  It was impossible to keep the same accounts because the Newsvine platform was totally its own thing and just doesn’t talk to the Moveable Type platform.  FWIW, you can still comment without registering as far as I know (unless the guy who ripped me this morning really is named “Usuck@writing.com”
