Do any of you guys give a rats a$$ if The NFL is full of steroids? I know the majority of posters hate the steroid's in baseball but what about football? I never hear many arguments about todays players being accused of being on the juice? Remember when the mark of a good season by a running back was 1000 yards? Now ...

The NFL is the teflon league, pure and simple. NBA all star weekend, it's NFL players getting in trouble, but yet the NBA is the one vilified. Nobody cares about steroids in the NFL because the media *never* brings it up. But how often is it mentioned in regards to MLB?...

Perkdog, Don't forget about the NBA too! Both the NFL and NBA are loaded with users of performance enhancers. The NFL players have been doing it since those drugs came out.

Merriman was a pro bowler, and one of the league's best players...yet his 4 game suspension was hardly even mentioned in the media. How about those Panthers that were busted by authorities? The same panthers who had just been in the super bowl? Where's the media outcry over them? Yet because there's speculation about ...

Furthermore, I'd like to add that the NFL has been testing for decades now, and though it's not full proof, the policy has been in...

> Yes, Merriman is one of the leagues best players... but not one of its most popular outside of SD. He's certainly not mentioned in the same breath (concerning popularity) with Manning, Favre, Tomlinson, etc... Those guys are the equivalent in stature that Bonds, McGwire & Sosa are/were in baseball. I'm just ...

Steroids don't really bother me all that much in baseball, but it is interesting how performance-enhancing substances elicit almost universal indignation in baseball - not to mention congressional inquiries - but relatively little discussion in football. The records issue is a good point, but I'd say it has less to do with...

You all gonna need drugs to beat the Bucs this year. you all better have that chinstrap on too! Sincerely, The Bucs D. JS

IMO i think most fans expect it in football. its a much more physical sport. and football isnt so much about numbers at all. its about winning the superbowl. i mean if tony romo throws 40 tds next year. and cowboys lose first round playoffs.. it wouldnt be a big deal to fans. it will be lets regroup for next year etc...
