I find this amusing

In the wake of a Packers loss, I'll take my humor where I can get it. The idea of Hitler as a Cowboys fan appeals to me anyway.



If you're wondering where that came from, it was from the 2004 movie Downfall. Here's the original clip with the real subtitles:

Butch, I finally got the data to answer your question that you left on my blog: http://itsaboutthemoney.blogspot.com/2008/01/following-up-place-of-birth-vs-testing.html

Jason looked at the countries of origins for players identified in the Mitchell Report as using steroids/PEDs, and found a high percentage came from Latin America.

I asked how the percentages correlated to the overall player populations - for example, 23.6 percent of the steroid users are Dominican, but if 23.6 percent of all players are Dominican, that percentage is what you'd expect.

Well, Jason's work shows the numbers are pretty extraordinarily high for Latin American players. Dominicans, for example, are just under 12 percent of the player population, but 23.6 percent of the players identified in the Mitchell Report.

Nice work, Jason!
