Terry Bradshaw steroid admission?

[wheateater]

This was just teased at the end of NFL Live just about 10 minutes ago, but now they've cut to NBA Access.. I can't find anything about it online yet, has anyone heard of this?

It's on the scroll on ESPN2.

Seems he admitted to using them during rehab. He made the admission on Dan Patrick's radio show ... last week. That either shows how irrelevant his show is or that today is a slow news day for ESPN so they decided to finally use it.

Oh and also, if this turns out to be untrue, I would like the fact that I was watching NFL Live to be stricken from the record.

Extensive steroid use = shortened lifespan.

It's FUN-damental.

Too late. It's already out there, and can't be taken back.

You'd figure the quarterback was probably just about the last guy on the whole roster who would take (for that matter, who you would WANT to take) steroids, so if this is actually true (no reason to think it isn't; why would Bradshaw lie about it 30 years later?), you can pretty much assume every single player on the Steelers' rosters in the 1970s was juiced.

Yes, let's assume all the Steelers juiced. And because you'd figure weak-hitting middle infielders and middle relievers are probably just about the last guy on the roster who would take steroids, let's pretty much assume every single players on those teams with juiced middle infielders and middle relievers are juiced, too. So guilty.

Well, I believe the crawl said he only took during rehab. Not throughout his career.

I didn't realize Terry Bradshaw played for Tony LaRussa.

I didn't realize that Sammy Sosa did, either.

I'm guessing most of the NFL has been juiced for 30 years.

Luckily for them, they all wear helmets and their statistics are held in zero regard.

The stats are the only reason steroids are an issue in baseball.

Yes, but does it not force you to at least consider the possibility? It is becoming apparent that steroid use has been a factor for a longer time period than I think we originally assumed.

But, but the NFL has the best drug testing policy in sports!

Inarguable among the sane.

Courson admitted it 30 years ago. It's been a factor for a long time. And we have known this.

Rumors about the Steelers of the 1970s using steroids have been around since the '70s. Hell, Steve Courson admitted it a long time ago. That doesn't mean it is appropriate to assume the entire team did it. Too many people make way too many unfounded assumptions about steroid use as it is.

Edit: Simon beat me to it.

Even if Terry did use steroids, it doesn't matter. Only the Patriots have their past accomplishments challenged when controversy arrives.

Since Angola and LJB keep rejecting the offer, I shall now extend it to you.

Would you like me to mail you a Terrible Towel to cry into?

The worst call in postseason history made their 'dynasty.'
