DON HOOTEN on jim rome....

[db006]

this dude should be punched in the face for not standing up like a man, and blaming himself for his sons not wanting to be on this earth anymore, instead joining this witch hunt and blaming this for his sons death. what a fuck stick the dude is sitting here saying we didnt know he was on steroids until we took him to a phsycaitrist***.WTF!!!! im so furious at this dude i cant even spell.

I saw it too man. Sure I feel for the guy for losing his son, but all he is doing is like you said, just making the witch hunt worse. It seems like the more research that is done, and the longer AAS has been around, people seem to think it is worse and worse, while the research proves when used safely, is not worse and worse. The media and gov't wants these anecdotal stories to use to help them rid the streets of the "steroid using criminals". I cant say it more, i know kids who use juice, and almost all are great, smart, driven, and good people. Sure maybe they use AAS too young, but at least the rest of their life is in order from being influenced by the bbing lifestyle. Then I know plenty of the average kids/young men today who booze hard 3 times a week, do rec drugs, etc. and they throw their lives away by the minute. Like i said before, i feel bad for the guy, no one deserves to lose their kid like that, but hes just making the mentality of the nation geared even more against AAS. I see where his anger comes from but I think its gonna make this country's drug situation worse. It seems like now, and in the future, getting these AAS producers off the streets will become higher priority over taking down the meth labs that make drugs that screw peoples lives over. unbelievable. btw, db i need to email you, expect one here soon.

It's much easier to point the finger somewhere else, rather than looking in the mirror every day at the person that is partially to blame. KNOW YOUR KIDS!!!! I have three...I KNOW MY KIDS, and always will. Know what they like, don't like, who they hang around with, what they do, what they are good at, what their limitations and always give them discipline, direction, and love...and yes, in THAT order.

Assholes! Let's blame the world because we needed a psychiatrist to tell us our son was doing steroids. Psychiatrist's kids are teh worst!

I could talk and write about this for the rest of my life and many others' lives. There are people in this world (the majority these days) that will NEVER get it!

Jim Rome is a **ckin LOSER! I can't stand the flip floping moron. Of course his show is full of media garbage. I swear if he didn't have steroids to talk about he wouldn't have a show. You would think he would research these drugs a little before he spouted off about them. Guy doesn't know HGH from DECA.

 

[bulga]

They always focus on the negative on steroids...if they had Kevin Everett on the show im sure he would have a different point of view

does anyone really take jim rome serious anymore..? i thought he was off teh air years ago.. surely his career clock has to be ticking..

i will add that the only reason why hooten is still on the shows making the rounds is because no one wants to ask him the hard questions.. many are worried i am sure of how it would look debating a father who has lost his son.. if they only knew that taylor was only using nandrolone.. and they do not even know for how long or how much.. or that he was having serious mental issues long before his death.. or that he was on anti depressants which are known for suicidal tendencies in young adults.. ect ect.. one day he should be made to answer these questions... instead of pointing the finger at a bottle of nandrolone...

that exactly what i was getting at. well said. how doesnt intelligent people from our side get these public forums to speak the truth, like the sports reporters, or jim rome, or oprah, like this moron hooten??? or like you said, to at least ask this idiot, or these people the tough questions?? cause anyone with half a brain knows a few shots of deca wasnt responsible for his sons death. no way no how!!!

I have been reading this board for a long time and finally deciced to make a post. F you Jim Rome. I can't stand that idiot. He needs to shut his F'n manpleaser and go away. Roids this and that, he makes more trouble than he has ever been worth. Die assplug.

I heard on the radio the other day that MLB has given 2 million dollars to the Hootens for their anti - steroid education charity and no one knows what Hooten has done with the money. There have been several requests by the media for them to explain what they did with the $ but so far, those requests have gone unanswered.

I agree with alot of the points made in the posts above. I too am getting very sick of everytime we see something negative on the Tv about AAS and especially if congress has anything to do with it, Don Hooten is sitting right there with all of his self righteous indignation. I fell very sorry that Hooten lost his son to suicide but as lats said in another post mixing nandrolone with a depressed young man on anti depressants is a cocktail of disaster. To make matter worse from what i have read on this situation is that when Hooten found out his son was on AAS he took him off cold turkey. Now granted for anybody who wasnt depressed or using anti depressant medications coming off cold turkey would have such adverse effects but to a young teenager I have to say otherwise.

The problem is Hooten is refusing to point the blame in the direction it really deserves to go and that is at his reflection in the mirror. If Hooten would have done a better job at parenting this might not have happened. Now I cannot speculate on the home life of the hootens nor what type of father Hooten was. he may have been a good father or one who was never home or one who pushed his son further anf further every day prodding him to be the best at baseball he could be because he was living vicariously through his son.

Whatever the case may be the point still remains that Hooten is the one at fault here for not adhering to the warning signs while they were blantly obvious. Like lats said Mr hooten needs to look in the mirror before pointing the blame at a bottle of QV deca.

Exactly, how do you not notice your teenage son just gained 30 lbs over the course of four months. This has to raise a red flag. Unless your not involved in your son's life to notice.

Making him quit cold turkey wasn't best for his health either. They should have taken him to an endocrinologist to get his hormone levels checked and attempt to get things back to normal.

I'm sure the percentages will say more teenagers smoke and drink alcohol than use performance enhancing drugs. Unfortunately the government makes money off those, so there will be no war to "save the children"

Hooton also makes it a point to say that the kids are emulating their superstar idols by taking steroids. "The kids take it because that's what the pros are doing" I don't buy this at all. Kids take it because they want to be bigger and stronger and better than the kid across from them. The same reason the pros take it.

He also talked about how athletes should be looking at jail time for taking these illegal drugs, instead of looking at penalties, suspensions and fines. I wonder if he feels his son and his friends/teammates that also participated in this activity should be sent to prison? I'm sure if his son was still alive he wouldn't want to send him to prison.
