Do juiced-up Steelers teams deserve asterisks?
-
Because ONE team doing it in 1963 does NOT prove that many other teams did it at all during 1963, let alone during the rest of the '60s or even '70s.
What would you expect out of a team using steroids at an alarming rate, way more than any other team? A defensive intensity that is simply impossible to overcome. Also known as, the six superbowls the Steelers have supposedly "won." More specifically, the Steel curtain of the 70s, and the number one defenses of both 05 and 08.
All you've got to to do is watch them play in one of their best seasons and it's blatently obvious that those players are differently built and differently intensified than the team they're playing against.
Case in point : James Harrison.
Besides, if all the other teams used them too, wouldn't they have tons and tons of players dying before the age of 50, and a book about false glory, and a doctor caught buying steroids on his personal credit card?
One other team has been caught -- the 63 Chargers. And they're out. So are the 70s Steelers. That's all there is.

I guess Shuan Roger does roids becuase he usually beats the center when going up against them 1-on-1.....

Like blindly accusing whatever Steeler you want of doing roids?.....
Like accusing Steeler fans of hoping Willis McGahee dies dispite all the fans yelling "good luck" and "get well"....
Like Browns fans cheering Bens head and neck injury while he lay motionless on the ground and becoming enraged when he gave a thumbs up to show he is okay?....
Like blaming cheating, refs, steriods or whatever they can think of EVERY time Steeler win a game?.....
Like say Ben was dumb for crashing his bike, while Winslow was still on the team?....
Like saying Steeler fans are redneck for an unexplained reason, and ignoring the question, "How can an urban city be redneck"?....
etc, etc, etc....
Yeah, there is a lot of " inconceivable levels of ignorance and stupidty below that which I previously thought possible" on this board.

Let's just say when I heard the Drama Queen was still going to be starting on opening day - I had some fun with the irony of it all. That said, it's not in me to go on your message boards to intervene with the process of people trying to enjoy their team. You wouldn't understand because here you are.

Let's see... all I've done is post a link to a video of guys from the team that started steroid use in the NFL, talking about how they started steroid use in the NFL. I let them do the talking, not my words. The actual players, for all to see and listen to.And I'm the one who's smoking the good stuff huh?
Yeah, just like I was high back when I told you guys were doing this stuff way before the '70s.
Now who's high?
Again, why weren't you guys all over the Van Pelt story? Instead of getting all giddy over Jeff Reed.
Just proves my point.
You know, I know, and they know you have proved a good point. They won't admitt it and throw personal attacks like Ben throws game winning tds after leading great hurry up offense down the field. They know they are hypocrites and admitt to being biased against the Steelers. (As if we couldn't have figured that out) They will take both sides to any situation just as an excuse to attack the Steelers. (Ex: Remember week 17 this year? Leading up to the game they said Tomlin was dumb and we were going to lose in the first round of the playoffs becuase Tomlin was going to rest the starters. When they found out we were playing are starters they said Tomlin was dumb becuase someone was going to get injured. Then they cheered like crazy as Ben lay motionless on the ground will a head/neck/back injury.) I hope you have figured out to not take them seriously. I just can't figure out why all the hate? It was the Ravens who took their team from Cleveland and it was the Steelers who voted to keep their team in Cleveland. A lot of what these Browns fan say/do is out of arrogance. They want to live success so if they dimish others success and act if they are the best, in their mind, they will be they best.

They didn't record sacks until 1982 - the year Lyle went to Oakland. If you look at the # of games and the number of starts, Cleveland was his worst place. Not that you needed to see this if you ever heard him say he played his worst football in Cleveland.

They needed to get proof people actually say completely rediculous and stupid things and you were the best example that could be found. If you hate the Steeler so much and feel most of what them and there fans do is wrong, then isn't it using circular reasoning to use their actions as an excuse for your actions? I don't stop you when you people are enjoying your team. I sometimes join your draft discussions and tried to join in threads concerning who would be your next head coach. Enjoying your team doesn't mean you say rediculous things about other players, teams, and fans. Trash-talking is one thing and supposed to be fun, making fun of injuries among other things are sick and rediculous.

This is right off ESPN:Yep, Browns sack leader Lyle Alzado. He was really hated, I can tell.
Keep on grasping those straws buddy.
And again -- how do you explain missing the Van Pelt story, but glomming all over the little Reed incident?
That says it all.
Again, your research is short sighted and selective. Then again, you're in denial that the steroids era was the 70s and the poster boys of it were the Pittsburgh Stee-roids. Sports Illustrated and former Steeler Steve Courson tell some compelling stories about it all. I think the guy that shared needles with teammates is a better source than you wishing none of it was true. Steroids + Trophies = Early Funerals. "We were horrible role models." "I threw away my rings." "Kids today emulate their heroes. It makes me sick knowing we're the reason a kid in high school or junior high school wants to use the same short cuts we required." It doesn't sound like much peace and serenity after the massive group cheat. It's got you miserable Joey!
In any event, here's the Alzado reality that anyone with more than 2 braincells on spreaking terms can make some conclusions about:
CAREER Tm G GS
8 yrs DEN 99 98
4 yrs OAK 51 51
3 yrs CLE 46 30
Looks like played 100% of his games in Oakland where they WON the Superbowl and he started 98 out of 99 games in Denver where he made MOST of his Pro Bowls. The math says he was reliable enough elsewhere for 149 out of 150 possible starts. In Cleveland he missed a THIRD of his games (equalling 1 whole season) but had 1 good year out of 3. Understanding this, if he was an ASSET instead of an ASSHOLE, he stays instead of sprays.
If he was as good as you WANTED him to be in Cleveland, he would have remained on the team with a raise. Steroids have never been the rule in this lockerroom. You're just pissed his quick release reinforces that reality as you should be. Have you ever won a single debate in here with anyone?
Have another beer! Don't ALL happy fans name themselves after a depressant with their screen names?

Thing is, it's the Bradshaw part that sealed the deal, took the cake --He SURE did. He also gave poor little Jo Jo Starbuck (the temporary wife) black eyes and broken noses. Greg Loyd had a WONDERFUL role model. I'm sure the wife playing deep throat and broken teeth to the pistol shaft while the son was also tied up with a gun to his head are very thankful for steroids. Sounds like they do wonders for the mind and disturbing behavioral patterns.
Would that be MORE of this roid rage yinz all want the "shhhh" policy continued for? I got your "shhh" right here! That's not the SAME kind of Family Building tactics we saw from the "We Are Family" crew. I actually LIKED those guys because they were far better role models.
Unfortunately, poor Mike Webster was competing with rats and raccons for meals out of trash cans but the lost mind had nothing to do with 15 years of steroid abuse right? Terry Long didn't wait that long - he purchased a gallon of Anti-freeze and chugged it. Don't shoot the mailman reporting your drug culture. You're so guilt ridden - you're naming your screen identity after your coping skills, which are also a depressant. Where's all the peace, serenity and jubilation for selling the souls Joey?
God bless ya! That type of imagination belongs in Disney where "once upon a time" never gets altered from the path of "they lived happily ever after." Unfortunately, your creativity never stopped 1 premature funeral from happening. Seems like I feel worse for your heroes than you're capable of.

You and Flugel are refusing to admitt players in the 60's started wide spread use of roids and we are the ones defelecting it? I don't see you offering video proof of players admitting to be the first people to start using roids. Your attempts to tarnish the Steelers remind me of your offense attempts to score just one td...
