I haven't seen Sosa's yet, but it'll be on Sports Center in a bit.
As for Bonds, personally I was really impressed. I have never really seem him in an interview like that, and all I knew of him was from the media, that he was a dark, mean, grump. In the interview he came off as energetic and intelligent. He did some of the things that he always gets yelled at for, like bringing race into it, but the way he said it seemed completely legit to me. He simply said that being a black athlete is different then being a white athlete, but that he understands thats how it works and he lives with it. His comments about Conseco were just laughable, he told him off like an old WWF promo. He knows he is good and he doesn't try to hide it, but it didn't seem like he was arrogant. He came off as sincere and honest. I could be completely wrong, but my opinion on Bonds did change a little bit. I still don't know if he took steroids, most likely he did, but on a personal level I have gained some respect for him. Just his denial of Conseco, you have to like that.
