If Saturday Night Live wants to bring back their Tommy “The Liar” Flanagan character, they should drive to the Bronx and look in the Yankees front office for potential candidates.
Their top choice might be Yankees President Randy "The Liar" Levine. You see, USA Today reported that he released a statement that said that the Yankees removed the specific steroid language because they felt they were protected by the broader, less specific and more-difficult-to-prove language they settled on. Yeah..that's the ticket.
Or maybe they would like to interview Yankee GM Brian "The Liar" Cashman for the role. In an attempt to distance the Yankees from the knowledge that Giambi was using steroids, Brian Cashman said on ESPN radio that "common sense" should be used to assume the Yankees would not sign a player they suspected was using steroids. "Why would the Yankees put themselves in that position?" he wonders. Yeah..that's the ticket. After all, what benefit could a guy on steroids have to the Yankees? —Especially a guy who hits .340 and hits 40 hr's a year.
If the SNL producers aren't satisfied with the talent in the front office, maybe they should look to the field, where superstar Derek Jeter said today in this USA Today story, that although Giambi made mistakes, he is ready to welcome him back. All the players keep talking about the huge "mistake" Giambi made. However, I can’t help but think by the way they all couch their words that by "mistake" they are not referring to him using steroids, but admitting to it.
