I hope he's got some really good lawyers. It sounds like he's going to need them.

I don't even want to hear it.

"It is also widely speculated that Braun's contrite apology will include massive doses of crocodile tears."

Smart of him. When he comes back, any reporter filing a story about him will also include lots of a fraud references. Apologizing puts him opposite of a fraud, and will help him with the court of public opinion when he comes back.

Now there is a report out there that in 2012, Braun called other major league players for support by telling them the test collector Laurenzi was antisemitic. I suggest his apologies start with Laurenzi.

Fuck this piece of shit scumbag!

As much as I hate lawyers and lawsuits, Laurenzi should sue Braun for every damn dime he ever made playing baseball.

I'm sure there will be one for defamation. Probably why Braun, if he does come clean, won't say a word about Laurenzi. He won't be able to until that is settled.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun issued a public apology for his PED use Thursday, a month after receiving a 65-game suspension from Major League Baseball for his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal.

Braun
"I want to apologize for my actions and provide a more specific account of what I did and why I deserved to be suspended. I have no one to blame but myself,'' Braun said in a statement released by the Brewers.
"My family, my teammates, the Brewers organization, my friends, agents, and advisors had no knowledge of these facts, and no one should be blamed but me. Those who put their necks out for me have been embarrassed by my behavior. I don't have the words to express how sorry I am for that.''
Braun said he took an unspecified cream and lozenge in 2011 in his attempts to return from an injury. He called it a "huge mistake'' for which he is "deeply ashamed.''
Braun also apologized personally to Dino Laurenzi Jr., the sample collector who was in charge of the test that Braun successfully appealed in a grievance prior to spring training in 2012.
"At that time, I still didn't want to believe that I had used a banned substance,'' Braun said in his statement. "I think a combination of feeling self righteous and having a lot of unjustified anger led me to react the way I did. I felt wronged and attacked, but looking back now, I was the one who was wrong. I am beyond embarrassed that I said what I thought I needed to say to defend my clouded vision of reality. I am just starting the process of trying to understand why I responded the way I did, which I continue to regret. There is no excuse for any of this."

I love the people who go well out of their way to demonize people who do their job to try to catch them, them issue a contrite apology after the tenth time they get caught and can't get away with it anymore.

You definitely really feel bad about it.

 

[Malibu]

What a joke of an apology.
