Sports Pickle Poll
How does Mark McGwire's steroids admission affect your opinion of him?
- LOWERS -- I hate people who say obvious things. "It's cold out today." "Oh, you don't say? I was wearing this coat to protect myself from the sun, dumbass."
- DOESN'T AFFECT -- I don't like to focus on the past, so I don't know Mark McGwire admitted to using steroids. Hey, don't you wish Mark McGwire would admit to using steroids?
- RAISES -- Anyone who played baseball in the 1990s and didn't use steroids would have to be a total moron, barring some sort of severe allergy to fame and/or piles of money.
