It might be true that Cobb was a product of his time, but during his time, the press didn't pry into player's personal lives the way they do today, yet we know of all these horrific things about Cobb. How much more would be known about Cobb if he had been under the same scrutiny that Bonds is? Also, how do you know if Bonds doesn't from some mental illness? If it is later proven that Bonds does have a mental illness, do you suddenly forgive him for all his actions? I get the feeling that most people would be think that's it just a story to try and cover up Bonds poor behaviour.

Cobb was a horrible and despicable person, even for his time. More so than Bonds is today.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.
