He's a pawn in Selig's final PR blitz.
Comforting to see that not everyone is buying it:
"At the end of the 60 Minutes report, all is ugliness. A-Rod is guilty
and lying, surely, Anthony Bosch seems a first-class lowlife, Rob
Manfred comes across as Old Man Potter from 'It’s a Wonderful Life,' and
the only winner in the whole mess — THE ONLY WINNER — seems to be the
drugs themselves, which apparently work miracles and, if used right, are
undetectable.
So what point of all this again?
Scott Pelley ends the report like so: 'And Bud Selig has announced
his retirement from the game. Part of his legacy is the establishment of
the toughest anti-doping rules in all of American pro sports.'
There it is. Bud Selig, who has been commissioner over the worst drug
scandal to ever hit American sports, who presided over a game that ten
years ago DID NOT TEST for drugs, got 60 Minutes to put that line at the
end. Part of his legacy is this glorious chapter of buying papers from
Bobby, threatening and paying off Boesch and nailing Alex Rodriguez.
The report ended and only then, if you watch the Internet videos, do
you get the biggest lesson of all. You get to see who sponsored the
report.
Viagra."
