Radio host linking the deaths of former NFL players to gear

[cranny]

Colin Cowherd on ESPN was talking about how 7 former Steelers have died since the year 2000 b/c of steroid use in their past. I believe they were all linemen which were in their 40's and 50's. I do know alot of linemen tend to get rather large after retirement. To me, this contributes alot to it. He went on about how gear was used alot w/ the Steeler teams back in the 70's and 80's. What's your take on it, more media propaganda or any merit?

 

[Mr.X]

Liberal media lies and propaganda, I wouldn't put any faith in what you see on TV or read in the paper.

Lyle Alzado was a coke head for 99% of his pro career. His death was not steroid related, no matter how much the media wants to demonize anabolics.

There's " use " and there is " abuse " ....

There's those who take measures to suppress side effects and those who don't ...

Too think anabolics have never harmed anyone is foolish at best ( unless your a source trying to reel in new fish ) your best ammunition is knowledge and research inorder to maintain your health once you've made the choice to juice .

Thoose that pump this crap into there bodies without having a complete understanding of the pro's and con's deserve there fate , olny fools rush in .....

I've been using anabolics on and off again for the past 20 years , my best friend is a doctor who tells me time and time again that i'm in excellent health ... imagine , i'm 42 and yet to do tren yet guys here in there early 20's are debating the pro's and con's of better then a gram a week ... wonder how many of them will make 40 and what state there health will be then , most don't give a shit .

u guys got to understand being a lineman in nfl is almost unhealthy itself. they want u to be 300+ and yes when ur carrer is over if you dont loose that wieght than u
put urself at risk like anyother overwieght person. anabolics have a purpose in todays atheletes in almost every sport. yes they r dangerous but do i think the lead to an earlier death. no...

thank you mikefear

it is quite obvious how uninformed 99% of people are... even on this board, to even consider believing the rhetoric...

How many other things does the media mislead us about on a daily basis... ???

Two words...Reggie White. Oh yeah...two more...Walter Payton. Walter popped dbols like they were candy. Of course, when he played, they weren't all that illegal.

bradshaw admitted they all did it on the steelers. he said it was dumb not to because you would be passed up. they had no clue what they were doing at all.
