Athletes Stripped

October 5, 2007

Friday editorial meetings always have a different feel. For most of us, it’s the end of our week… and just like this morning, all it takes is some free breakfast to get us distracted. Once we all had our plates of food… it was time for work.

The talker story this morning isn’t a local one, but one that had everyone in the room expressing disappointment. Gold Medalist Marion Jones admits to steroid use… and even though it’s a story we’ve heard before (athletes using performance-enhancing drugs)… it’s one we never want to believe. So she came forward… now what? Do you think she should lose her medals? Vote in our online poll, or e-mail us at interactive@nbc6.net

Friday means high school football… even if almost your entire team is suspended for fighting on the field. Miramar and Flanagan High Schools are both playing tonight for the first time since last week’s brawl… but who is going to take the field?

And he may not be an athlete… but we’re hearing rumors that an anti-war protester is going to be running in an american flag thong through the streets of South Florida today (just think Borat)… who knows if it’ll happen… but stay tuned to this blog.
