FAN: Juice Box

Well, the second bash brother came forward today to say that he did indeed do steroids. I'm sure he just wants to be left alone as the new hitting coach and just wanted to admit and move on. He should have done it years ago. I once went up to Boston with a group of friends to go to a game at Fenway against the A's. We were amazed at batting practice as McGwire and Canseco hit ball after ball completely out of the park. I wonder if they were juicing then? They didn't seem as big but it was probably right in the middle of the steroid era. It was before I was married so I'm guessing it was around 1993 or 1994. Whatever. The steroids story is so old news in baseball. Even A-Rod couldn't bring it back full force. Mac prolly knew it was safe and time to just admit it. Those were good times. Six dudes, two cars and one hotel room for two nights. If I remember correctly, it was me, Vailler, Kooz, Belly, Gratz and I want your soul, Miller.

Steelers Team Doctor Questioned About Growth Hormones

Richard A. Rydze, the Steeler's team doctor, was interviewed about why he put $115,000 worth of growth hormones on his personal credit card. The drugs have a street value of over $450,000. He has broken no law (so far) and has been told he's not under investigation. No matter what happens - it doesn't look good for the organization to have to answer all of these questions. It wasn't that long ago that Jim Haslett said in an interview that the 70's Steelers started the steroid craze in the NFL. Of course other players and the Rooneys condemned the remark and he kind of took it back, but the deceased Steve Courson was open about using during his tenure. If he was using it for his other patients, why not buy it through different channels? If it wasn't Steelers who were using it, could it have been other NFL people who had a line of contact to him through a player? From what I've read, this guy isn't with the team like a trainer is - he is usually only with them on game day. If he's using them himself, they don't work, I've seen pictures.
