Too bad baseball fans don't get creative control over Bonds. That is a bunch of crap. Yeah the show was lame, but atleast ESPN would try to not make it a giant propaganda machine to make Bonds seem ok (Oh wait...)

I feel like Mr. T could have a big enough head, but I think bernie Mac might be the best at being an asshole

Magic and Bonds...maybe star athletes aren't cut out for tv shows...but what about putting him in on other movies...?

A new name for the show - "Bonds on Hiatus" Now that has a nice ring to it!

Forget hiatus, just the word "cancelled" is all I want to see next to it forever.
