Here's why you shouldn't put too much stock into Mark McGwire's "tearful" appearance in front of Bob Costas. This is a great, long, blow-by-blow blog; it's a sarcastic must read!
Jayson Stark says he looked remorseful on Costas' show, but doubts Mac yet gets it, on all the damage he did.
Maybe, per the first link, it took 15 minutes before Mac could force any tears.
Of course, Yahoo's Tim Brown saw through McGwire for offering what he saw as a self-serving, not real, apology even before Big Mac went on Costas.
Oh, and to people like a friend of mine who say they're already tired of the cynics, well, not being cynical enough, in this case, could be seen as "enabling."
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
