Untold: Hall of Shame (2023)

9/26: This is absolutely nothing new.

I wonder how many times the BALCO story has been related in the past twenty years. Everybody knows all about it. Now, Netflix wants to get into the action by producing Untold: Hall of Shame. At least, I didn't waste my time following these sporting events before everybody got caught.

Barry Bonds, Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery, Jason Giambi, and Bill Romanowski...yep, they're all cheaters. If there's anything different today, professional athletes have learned how to not get caught as they continue to cheat. That's why I don't watch sports anymore with the exception of NFL at a much waned interest.

By the way, don't believe a word of what George Bush said. He was the owner of the Texas Rangers from 1989 to 1994, and many ballplayers on his team were taking steroids including Jose Canseco, Alex Rodriguez, Iván Rodríguez, Rafael Palmeiro, and Juan González. A good place to start is by reading Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big.

All in all, Netflix needs to change the first word of Untold: Hall of Shame to Retold.
