We discussed Ryan Braun on Yahoo! Sports Talk Live yesterday. Such a phony and fraud. Last year after he failed a drug test, he got off on a technicality, nailing some poor urine specimen collector on a chain of delivery screwup or something like that. Then Brawn went all angelic and said he was innocent. Except he wasn’t. Now Braun is banned the rest of the season and he deserves it. After the TV show, I was driving home on the Bay Bridge listening to the A’s. Announcer Vince Cotroneo — great guy — delivered a mini-lecture saying Braun owes the collector an apology, the collector Braun threw under the bus. I apologize to you, Vinnie, for not remembering the collector’s name. You said it on the air. I praise you on your courage and right-thinking.
