Sports Editor Don McCormack's Mailbag: The Mailbag makes its return

Hey, Don,
I believe I wrote awhile back that the steroids nonsense would become a “he said, she said” situation.
Well, Brian McNamee says he injected Roger Clemens with steroids, and Clemens says that is not true. And to add to the drama, they are suing one another. How muddied are those waters? Let it go.
I do have a few other thoughts/questions on the situation, though.
McNamee is singing because he is already in trouble. Why is the media so willing to accept the word of someone obviously trying to save his own skin?
I asked this before. In America, are you not innocent until proven guilty?
Also, it was with great pleasure that I heard Clemens explode on the media when they mentioned the Hall of Fame. The media takes great pleasure in threatening baseball greats with a possible exclusion from the Hall. I’m sure there are a number of superstars who really don’t care; they are secure in their greatness (and arrogance). Anyway, if the media somehow keeps enough superstars out of the Hall, I’m thinking of opening my own.
I have a few other thoughts, if you have the time.
Many Ohio State fans (and again, the media) wondered about Todd Boeckman’s slump near the end of the year. In fact, I think the coach said something about footwork. Was it footwork, or was it that OSU was done with Youngstown State, Kent and Akron?
Do you suppose the announcers on TV know the difference between “exercising demons” and “exorcising demons”? I have old ears, but it sure didn’t sound like it.
I was for awhile a fan of instant replay in football. I like the idea of getting the call correct. However, I have changed my mind. Too many coaches have started to abuse they system. They are too often just throwing out the red flag and hoping.
