Seek shelter. Cover head. Report the incident to your nearest FJM representative immediately. You are in great danger, because the person you are talking to is an idiot. BRILLIANT!!!! I was wondering if there was some sort of protacall for that situation!

To me we are getting the same standard here. Even if the NFL already has a policy it definatly is not working. Why are they not getting frog marched to congress? The politicans can grandstand all they want with MLB but until they show the same concern with the NFL . It is definatly maore of a problem in the NFL than MLB. And there is a problem with congress doing anything with this right now. They can start by getting rid of all the pork in this so called stimulis bill. That would be a start. And if it is such a problem for them I did not see them put any money towards preventing steroid use in this crap bill. Congress needs to get there own house in order before they start grandstanding. How about starting with paying there taxes. I find it hard to be lectured by people that have one standard for themselves and another for us common folks.

It had nothing to do with George Bush’s 2004 State of the Union address calling on his Republican-controlled Congress to investigate the steroid problem or the BALCO investigation launched by the Bush White House’s Republican Justice Department. Historical accuracy FAIL. Yeah, because the steroid hearings were totally started by Democrats in a Democratic Congress.

They obviously do if doctors are prescribing them to ill patients. Why can't normal people take them to look and feel better? Why arent they being tested by the FDA?
