Man, I really hate Barry Bonds. Hate him, hate him, HATE him with every fiber of my sports-fan being. It's not
hard to figure out why: he's a jerk who has no regard for his teammates or fans, much less the press (and I mean,
really, who cares how much of an a-hole a guy is to the press?). He "allegedly" has been juicing up for the
last five years and is now on the brink of breaking a hallowed record that no one outside of San Francisco and the
Bonds family wants to see him break: Hank Aaron's all-time home run record.So what better subject is there for a reality show? Well, at least ESPN thinks so. They'll be following Bonds around as the 42-year-old Giants slugger goes after Aaron's record, which he is 48 dingers away from breaking. According to this article, the show will premiere on ESPN2 on April 4 with an hour-long show, then air half-hour long shows every Tuesday throughout the season.
I myself am looking forward to the episode when Bonds decides to retire early because his knee can't take the pounding from his bloated body, but that's just me.

On behalf of all the Giants fans you hate so much, I'd just like to say, bite me.

Steven, what's the passage that says that I hate Giants fans?
I said I hate Barry Bonds, but I never said I hate Giants fans.

I think you accidentally put "reality sports" in the headline. Should read:
"Barry Bonds to be subject of worst show ever"

I'm sorry, but did you say you hate Barry Bonds? I wasn't too clear on that.

Could not have said it better myself. This sums up perfectly how I feel about Bonds. I am even unhappy that he will get to break Ruth's record. He's a jerk, a cheater and a crybaby. I hope he blows out a knee and never gets into the hall of fame.
I can tolerate jerks and crybabys, but cheaters, I can't stand. But Bonds will get into the hall of fame on the strength of steroid inflated stats, but Pete Rose has to watch on TV, for gambling. Doesn't seem fair, does it?

I agree 100%. I can't think of a single person that actually likes Barry Bonds. Does Barry Bonds even like Barry Bonds?
Oh, and the dressing up like Paula Abdul thing? No one's laughing. We all know it's a publicity stunt.

I may have been projecting ... Giants fans are getting tired of being vilified for the crime of rooting for our best player. On the other hand, when you spew such hatred towards Bonds, who you claim is a jerk with no regard for fans, and then suggest that only his family and people from San Francisco want to see him succeed ... well, yes, I take that to mean you think we are masochistic idiots.

Lets see Babe Ruth a drunk Micky Mantle a drunk Ty Cobb a drunk and beats up fans and umpires. My favorite all time old player Rodger Hornsby one of the dirtest players in the game Oh don't forget Gaylord Perry the pitcher who cheated all the time.Nobody is crying to take them out of the hall.Baseball is full of cheaters one way or the other so leave the greatest modern baseball player alone untill he is proven guilty (this is America not guilty untill proven guilty)I hope Bonds surpasses Ruth by another 50 Home Runs.Clemens can retire and then come back and does not even have to travel with the team only to show up on the day he had to pitch.If Bonds did that the media would kill him.I'm not a Giants fan just a BARRY BONDS FAN Go Bonds

He is a liar and a charlatin. He lied to everyone including a Congressional Committee under oath -- not to mention his fans.
Why should anyone care about this juiced-over, washed-up, never-has-been?

Haters Haters Haters, when are you real losers going to realize that you are seeing the best player ever in MLB history. But oh hes bigger than when he first started, what about you i know that 5 years ago i was 30lbs lighter and i workout all the time, with that kind of money a personal trainer and chef of course hes bigger morons. Get a clue look at his stats the same throughout his career. I can name anyone off of your favorite team that supposedly did steroids as well. Makes me sick to hear you idiots, but guess what everytime he plays the game sells out to see him play. Get a clue. p.s. Dodger fans are the biggest idiots ever!

The thing that makes the old time dirty players different is that their drugs and alcohol might have made them worse players. The cheaters, sure they're pricks. As for bonds, I can't blame him for being a jerk, after all the racist hateful mail he gets who could blame him. But IF he does roids, and it's proven, I say get rid of his records (and anyone else who's proven guilty). Until then all you can do is let him play and don't assume. Go Giants.
