I was just interviewed by KVBC TV - NBC's Las Vegas Affiliate, about the Craig Titus Case.
It was very interesting- they didn't ask about details of the case. I told them ahead of time I'm in another state and anything I could offer in that area would be purely speculative. They understood and agreed not to ask any specifics.
Instead they took on the human side of things.
They asked me what I'd tell CT if I could say one thing. I responded along the lines of "I'd say what most of the bodybuilding community is saying right now. You are a man who was forced to make a tough decision. Craig, keep your head up and your spirits strong, and do the right thing."
They also asked about the purpose of my website, and I let them know that the case isn't about BBing, supplements, or steroids, but rather a man, his wife, and another person. It's a human story and doesn't go beyond that.
Catch it at 5 and 11 in Vegas, and if someone can tape /post it, that'd be great. Thanks!

Good stuff, man. Keep doing what you're doing.

im curious what your take will be if craigs defense is he was on massive amounts of andogens at the time of the murder and claims the bodybuilding lifestyle led him and kelly down this path of destruction?

I fear this.
I believe Craig would be in this same position had he never touched a weight.
The point of this entire website is to keep the case about the facts- and the people involved- and not about the BBing industry.
-
well he should have several medical witnesses that could cost him a big sum

just my .02 but I would be concerned that any comments, or the fact that you want to increase awareness that this shouldn't be a "steroid case" could have the opposite effect, because of the media or otherwise. They love stuff to snowball out of control, and even good comments or well-placed local ads that you want to place can help the spin machine do its work that much easier.
No news is good news I say. The less steroids are even mentioned, even comments both good and bad, the better things will be...
-

money isn't an issue in this case. They have money.
Many defense lawyers would consider steroids a HOT topic, and if they can convince 1 out of 12 people that it's wasn't their fault, it was because of steroids, then the BBing industry could be in some serious trouble.
-
steroids use will be part of the DEFENSE
i hope you understand this 240
that they were not of sound mind due to the influence of steroids
-
... then the BBing industry could be in some serious trouble.
But Craig & Kelly could be free.
-

this is the mindset I'm hoping to eliminate with the website.
I've said from minute one- the website is NOT about blindly freeing anyone.
It's about keeping a wealth of information out there - and keeping the case about Craig, Kelly, and MJ...
Craig looks to be about 195-210 in those pics. Not a lot to blame on steroids.
-
Steroids aren't to blame here, but "drugs" (in general) will probably be a large part of whatever defense they mount.
But let's keep it real for a moment - it's not like steroids or the steroid industry (*ahemIFBBahem*) and its pushers have clean hands here. It's not like you're protecting a monastery.

agreed.
but margins are so slim in the industry already...
i fear any verdict with the headline "Steroids caused me to do this" will have a negative effect on mag sales, supp sales, tickets/shows, prize money, etc
-
240 you better drop the price on the freecraigtitus.com now before he flips and they attack drugs like i know the defense will
-

Well, if the defense does choose to take that path, HOPEFULLY there will be so much info about the case, that people see past the steroid rhetoric.

QUESTION: :D If the website is "NOT" about blindly freeing anyone, why is it called freecraigtitus.com?

awesome question----
I wanted the visitor to arrive at the site EXPECTING to see this-
Supporters of Craig, as well as those who despise him.
Instead of seeing a biased, one-sided point, they get ALL sides.

Steroids are starting to be a part of this story, sadly. Take a look at the blog site: http://www.titusandryan.com on what came out a MSNBC interview. What a joke.

I saw that. Agree 100% I love msnbc but that statement was unfair.
You can voice your displeasure by sending a polite email to
abramsreport@msnbc.com
and inform them that their irresponsible and unbased questions helped you change the channel to FOX NEWS or CNN.
Thanks lift. i'm only 2 weeks out of college, still learning the ropes.

My bad if it was but I just ran across it and according to the web site the date was today at 2pm - Updated: 2:25 p.m. ET Dec. 28, 2005.
240 - God Bless ya bro, not cracking on you personally. I admire your drive.

unlike 240 the blogger there has a REAL JOB

To have real power over newscrews you want to have several billion dollars in the bank. Not 30,000 hits over a month ;D
Its a gallant try but if you are really looking to assault this issue you might want to contact big supplement companies for support however truth is they are just going to bury their heads in the sand..
-
yes and pray they are not mentioned

I guess when you're mostly selling snakeoil you can always just "invent" another amazing synergistic compound anyway.

A web site is drawing more attention to the case of two local bodybuilders accused of murder.
The web site is www.freecraigtitus.com and Rob Ziruolu, the web site's creator, lives in California.
He's been glued to the coverage of the Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan case. While he admits he is a body building fan he says his real goal is exposing the truth. Even though the web site is called "Free Craig Titus", its creator says the site does not take the position that the bodybuilder is necessarily innocent of the crime. Rob Ziruolo says he's simply an avid follower of Titus' career.
Ziruolo says his goal is to compile all the information he can about the case and clear up the dis-information and rumors that have been swirling around. On Tuesday, Craig Titus and his wife Kelly Ryan appeared in a Massachusetts courtroom, pleading not guilty to charges of attempting to avoid prosecution. A decision on when the couple will be returned to Nevada won't be made at least until a hearing takes place two weeks from Thursday.
Ziruolo says while he's not looking to make a profit, he wouldn't mind selling the web site to another bodybuilding fan who wants to keep the Craig Titus story alive.

Wow, who called who?

I told them I was from Florida. I also told them my ISP was out of California. They should be correcting that for the 11 pm broadcast, whichc will take a more human look at the case, according to the producers.
-
YOU HAVE TO ADMIT....FREECRAIGTITUS WAS A PRETTY STUPID NAME FOR THE SITE.
-
Wow, who called who?
KVBC ch 3 NBC called me and proposed the story.
I wouldn't do the story unless they agreed we could keep it about craig, and have no mention of steroids, and they agreed. They were a pleasure to work with, and I think they did a very fair job reporting.
FYI, Craiggers has been chain smoking for 6 months now.

Not really, it get people's attention. IF that was the intention then it's brilliant.

240, Honestly dude, you're the biggest attention whore I think I've ever seen on getbig.. it's funny how you have absolutely nothing to do with bodybuilding OR Craig Titus yet you're on this case like flies on sh*t. In all honesty, don't you think you should let the real professional journalists or people that have some ties to Titus/this case handle things? From the looks of it you're just trying to get the site as much attention as possible so you can sell it for a higher price, all in all it's just a facade.

www.freecraigtitus.com got the west coast's attention for 3 minutes. It was a positive piece that reflected on the sport well.
The "real professional journalists" you desire would use steroid buzzwords and make BBing look foolish.
Anyway, if you have a better solution, let's hear it. I'm just trying to keep the attention on Craig/Kelly, and not supps/gear/the industry.
-

thanks.
YES!
I knew that name would elicit emotion- either love (support) or hate (disapproval).
Once the visitor arrives, he/she learns FACTS about the case from a website which takes no side in the issue.
The news piece clearly let the world know the site was NOT about freeing Craig TItus.
-
SERIOUSLY THOUGH, HOW MUCH DO YOU EXPECT TO MAKE FROM THE SITE, WITH THE ADS, THE PICS OF CRAIG AND KELLY THAT YOU CLICK AND IT TAKES YOU TOI A HIDDEN LINK TO BUY CRAIG TITUS' DVD WITH YOU AS THE REFERER. JUST WONDERING IF THERES ANY REAL MONEY IN IT OR JUST CHUMP CHANGE.

real money LOL

Good work 240...u are a smart guy.

HAHA! I BET IN THE END THE KID WILL MAKE LIKE A GRAND OR 2 TOPS, WHAT A WASTE OF TIME.

Rob put my picks up on your site! I want to whore myself out to the highest bidder too!! :D
Seriously, I had my doubts about how much good the site would do in terms of keeping the case in the right light, and I still do to an extent. But on the flip side, whatever this is turning into it looks like you might be able to position yourself $$$$ very well in the near future, just don't ride the wave all the way in until it crashes. ;)

My exact thoughts! Since this case broke out, 240 (is Back) has been in his element, he's hyperactive, has opened 10 new threads/day and plays the role of the most informed insider. And now this interview.... Annoying.
-
240!
Did you tell the TV people how you're "saving bodybuilding, one post at a time"? I mean, after all, your 10,000 posts the past year have "done a lot to improve bodybuilding", right?
Also, did you tell them you're a fat guy with a gay tattoo?
Did you tell them about www.240orbust.com? They really need to see the Kamali video. ;D

Very nice....

Rob, be sure to photoshop your head onto someone else's body if the news people ask you for some pics. You don't want people around the country to gt the wrong idea.
