    That's a very sad story Jax. Sometimes you have to wonder how much being on steroids almost the entire time he played in the NFL (17 seasons) also led/contributed to his condition or at least enabled him to remain strong/heavy enough play 2-3 times as many seasons as the average OL starter in the NFL. I attached a few more cut and pastes. When I watched the game as a fan, I never had any idea that a very dedicated "Pro" making numerous Pro Bowls for an NFL Dynasty had such a depessing story brewing behind the scenes. Unlike other Steelers at the time - he wasn't a dirty player nor did he seem to be a loud mouth. it just doesn't seem fitting to know the NFL version of Superman died of a heart attack at 50 years of age.
