Baseball Hall of Fame blocks Bonds and other Juicers

From Fox sports:

 

Steroid-tainted stars Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa have been denied entry to the Baseball Hall of Fame with voters failing to elect any candidates for only the second time in four decades.

 

I understand that you don't want to give Bonds and Sosa a nod, but how about Jack Morris? The guy was the ace on several World Series teams! Two teams after Detroit traded him away, believing his best years were behind him? 

Morris might have been mean to writers (that's the rumor) but you gotta give it to the guy. And he had the one the best mustaches in the game.

Lions breakdown by SABR style football people.

Total breakdown on the Lions on Football Outsiders. (they are kind of a SABR for football)

Excerpt: 

Still, if you’re a Lions fan reading this, you can’t help smiling. You’ve spent years thinking about coaching changes, quarterbacking issues, front office drama, porous –- oh ever so porous -– defense, and an underlying lack of talent throughout the roster. It must be nice to read that your team’s biggest problem is "discipline."

Pretty comprehensive breakdown that amounts to a middling result. The Lions, according to Andy Benoit, are a great mystery that will come down to individual performance
