Jeff, what caused Bonds to be the way he is? It had to be something in his childhood and upbringing. He didn't magically develop this personality on his own. Granted, seeing one parent shoot the other is pretty traumatic and extreme, but there were obviously things that happened in Bonds life that caused him to become the person that he is.

Do you honestly think that media scrutiny in Cobb's day is anything close to what goes on today? If you do, you've lost all credibility with me.

And to others that are joining in on the chorus of Cobb was a product of his generation, that's a completely bogus excuse. If that were the case, if every White attacked and tried to kill Blacks at the same rate that Cobb did, I'd venture guess that there wouldn't be too many Blacks left alive today in the US. Most people were racist back then, but most people didn't find it neccessary to attack Blacks on a regular basis either.

All these posts just prove my point that people will let personal prejudices get in the way of facts to justify their opinions and find any excuse to protect those they admore, no matter how big a scumbag they are.

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