Sheffield on Dan Patrick

[ironman]

He won't do it outside the union, though.

Damn.

I wish someone would call him on these bluffs.

They only say these things cause no one will actually test them.

Nor can they.

They know it and so does the media.

Its a joke.

Lipservice...

[ironman]

To me he sounded sincere. Get the union's approval and I'll do it.

He said when we was confronted last year he agreed to do it, but the writer was just jerking his chain.

Rick Reilly tried it. A couple years ago, Sosa told a bunch of reporters he would take the test. Reilly was there so he said, okay Sammy, let's go...and Sammy threw a fit. Reilly knew of a place nearby where he could get tested and everything. I think it was pretty ballsy of Reilly to do that.

Sheff said the writer who tried it with him didn't have a place lined up, etc.

I know. I saw that. It was classic.

That is all you have to do as a writer. Call the bluff.

Two things can happen.

A) player takes test......(great you were the one to prove or disprove the test - you have ballls, etc)

B) Player throws fit and wants you to look like bad guy - (you dont cause he now goes back on his word, making him look guilty and a liar.)

And the Union would say "Not a Chance".
