having seen some of the shannigans and having met Bonds (have a buddy who is closely tied with them), I have to disagree. How would you like it if you go to the clubhouse 5 mins from walking in, you are completely surrounded by journalists instigating? Once I was in the club house the year he broke the home run record. He just got in and started changing and a reporter gets in his face and ask him if he thinks he is better than everybody else and if he thinks black guys can hit more home runs than white guys. I was shocked and appalled that that idiot from Vibe magazine even had the nerve to ask such a question. If you guys don't know or see half of this, don't assume. I'm not saying the Barry is an angel or role model but such type of harassment on a day in day out basis gets old. I can completely understand why he hates/belittles the media.
