I wrote this article about 13 years ago. It was shortly after my second attempt to kick the Nubain habit. It took one more fall off the wagon for me to finally stop it once and for all; and I haven't touched it since. Last night, on the "Off Topic" radio show, I was asked about my prior Nubain habit and it brought back some horrible memories. Since then, I started a thread on the MUSCLE CENTRAL forum that reached out to fellow addicts. It was so positively received that I thought you might find this oldie but goodie interesting.....
Okay, I know you guys are getting bored with me constantly shooting back at the MD crew so I figured, today, I would give you all a glimpse of what lies ahead on RxMuscle.com.
".....Yeah, hello?!.... Ron?!..... Ron?!! Can you hear me?!!"
"Loud and clear, Steve. Why are you yelling?"
"I can't hear on this damn phone..... Can you hear me?!"
"Yes, you're screaming..... Why don't you turn up the volume?"
"Yeah..... the volume..... ehhhhhh..... How do you.... Robbie!.....Robbie!!!!...... how do you turn up the damn volume on this thing?"...... (some fumbling and garbled words follow, then.....) Yeah.... Ron can you hear me? ...... Oh, that's better..... Look, Ron, Lee Priest is going to do the Last Word.... But that was Romano's column. For Lee, how do you like the name ‘Last Rights?"
With nine seasons left on his 10 year $275 million deal with the Yankees, Alex Rodriguez is inches away from stepping into the new $1.5 billion dollar Yankees Stadium where he is expected to break Barry Bonds' home run record. That would surely be an awe-inspiring feeling, except for the fact that Rodriguez is under intense scrutiny right now.
As I look around this teeny-tiny microcosm of pop culture we occupy, I marvel at the battle lines that have been drawn in the 10 days since Dave and were fired from MD. It's inconceivable to me that Blechman thought he was just going to shit-can us and go on like nothing happened. Yet, knowing him as I do these last 18 years, I know he never expected the shit storm he's got on his hands now, and the lows to which he would have to stoop to try to "get us".
