Skip Oliva notes more drug-war hysteria from the Massachusetts congressman in this week’s latest round of congressional bloviating that is the Very Imporant steroids-in-sports hearings. Skip also has this sound advice for major professional sports leagues:

If I were the commissioner of the NBA, my response to the congressmen at today’s hearing would have been simple and direct: Turn us into an agent of the state, and I’ll shut the league down immediately. See how the American people react when 30 NBA arenas go dark and thousands of people who make their living on the NBA find themselves out of work.

It’ll never happen. But God bless ‘em if it did.
