Talk:Mike Golic

message: sseriously? did someone REALLY refer to an interception as a "pick" in an encyclopedia-like article? that's a little like saying that someone was "salty that they got dissed" in a professional setting. i won't change it because when i change things here, some fool with no grasp of the english language changes it back.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.143.189 (talk) 14:39, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Kornheiser Feud/Controversy

message: Unless a reliable source reports on it, we should not assume that it was a newsworthy event. This section should not be in the article.  --Onorem♠Dil 21:24, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I no longer strongly disagree with its inclusion now that there's a secondary source. I still think it's a story that will go away quickly, and shouldn't remain here indefinitely...but I can live with keeping it in until it's no longer recent news. --Onorem♠Dil 22:05, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Steroid use

message: I'm not sure who Onorem is, but he acts like he's Mike Golic's agent or son. The bottom line is Golic DID make the statement on the Mike and Mike Show that he would not cooperate with a steroid investigation and that he believed it was no worse than speeding or jaywalking. A few days later he admitted to using steroids, though he claimed it was for an injury. There is no medical evidence that steroids would EVER be used for the type of injury he had. That's the bottom line. Oddibe (talk) 15:32, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless someone else reports about it, it's not worth being said here. We don't update the article every time he makes a statement on his show. Who cares if his opinion is that steroids are no worse than speeding or jaywalking? If someone else didn't write a story or report on it, we shouldn't mention it. Where is your reference stating that steroids would never be used to treat the type of injury he had? Without one, it would appear to be your own original research. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately and without discussion from Wikipedia articles...so that's what I'm going to do, again. --Onorem♠Dil 15:42, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Here's one story  from when Ankiel was caught. There is never a reason to take steroids for a sports injury. Unlike Lyle Alzado and Bill Romanowski, Golic is not being honest about why he used them. His comments about steroid use in sports being no worse than speeding or jaywalking relate completely to this episode. In fact, he made his "steroids/speeding" statement while saying he would have never cooperated with a steroid investigation. It all ties together. Oddibe (talk) 20:11, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a story about Rick Ankiel, not Mike Golic. Please see WP:SYNTH and revert yourself. I'd really rather not edit war over this, but it is not an acceptable statement IMO. --Onorem♠Dil 20:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Your links don't even back the statement your trying to make... --Onorem♠Dil 20:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, they aren't perfect links, but they do establish that there is NO MEDICAL reason to take steroids or HGH for a sports injury. I'll have to find a better, more scholarly, link for that. Steroids are used medically for people with growth issues or for AIDS patients that are battling "wasting." There has never been proof that steroids are used for sports injuries. That is simply the latest excuse people like Golic are using to make their cheating seem like a somehow noble or excusable thing. Oddibe (talk) 21:08, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They aren't perfect? They look completely useless to me. Please quote the part of either article that states that steroids have never been taken in an attempt to speed recovery from a sports injury. --Onorem♠Dil 21:16, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

text: In fact, the USA Today article specifically disagrees with your statement. It says, "Promotes muscle growth by improving ability of muscle to respond to training and improving recovery". --Onorem♠Dil 21:20, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

text: I didn't remove the part where he admitted using steroids. That has been covered by reliable sources. The other comments have apparently not been discussed by reliable sources, and are therefore not notable enough to be included. --Onorem♠Dil 14:19, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
