In the course of ESPN.com's efforts to trace the Steelers' history with performance-enhancing drugs, it became apparent that many ex-players are still unwilling to talk about allegations of chemical augmentation and the locker room culture of their days in the league. Even the ex-Steeler to whom Courson wrote the letter discovered on his computer -- Courson's girlfriend, Denise Masciola, said she hand-delivered it to the ex-teammate shortly after Courson's death -- denied its existence in a recent face-to-face interview. Several of Courson's friends asked ESPN.com to withhold the ex-teammate's name, saying Courson wouldn't have wanted to embarrass him.
And many players are especially reluctant to address speculation that the use of muscle-building drugs might be connected to the high rate of deaths among former Steelers, particularly those suffering heart ailments. Those numbers are hard to dismiss, even if there is no pattern or clue linking the deaths to steroids. Since 2000, 17 former Steelers have died before they reached the age of 59.
Been here since August, Spoon hump. Try to keep up so you don't look so low watt.

Just educate yourselves, please. If not, you open yourself up to embarrassment.
Rick Moser, special-teams captain on the Steelers' 1978 and 1979 Super Bowl teams, told ESPN.com that steroid and amphetamine use was "no big deal" back in the day because neither substance was banned.
What's to educate? Everybody knows this. Roids had been in the league since the 60s with the Chargers, there is nothing new here. Quoted from that very article:
For the billionth time, show us where the league investigated the Steelers for breaking existing rules and then punished them as in the case(s) of the Pats*.
Show me where W Bush and Cheney were charged for their war crimes. And yet, those crimes happened. What's your point?
let me put this simply.
you are a goddamn moron.

The Patriots?Yea, in other words, they had to cover their tracks. The guy bought $1 million in HGH. Who do you think he was selling it to? The cub scouts. Your level of denial is that of a zealot. If a former doc of the Pats got busted for moving a million bucks worth of HGH, you'd be screaming "cheaters" from the highest mountain top. You people's double standards are breath taking. Going though life while operating on delusions is no way to roll.
I'm quite educated on the subject. In fact, I really dove into this subject to the point that I wrote an article about it. Well researched, and it shows the true story of steroids in the NFL, their origin, how they began in San Diego, leading to that team's only championship in the 60s, prior to the coach who introduced them moving as coach to a handful of different teams. At each stop, he began filling the players with roids. Well before the Steelers of the 70s began using them. By the time the Steelers were using them, the bulk of the NFL was using them. Which was prior to the NFL banning their usage officially in the early 80s.
Well educated on the subject. You...may want to dig deeper.

PS...I wrote this story in 2009. It was posted on this site and discussed for many pages. I found it linked here, which brought me originally to this fine establishment.
That is a good example and certainly worthy of consideration, but being a much bigger NFL fan than NBA (as the majority of us are) the Spurs don't immediately come to mind as an example of sustained greatness, but, you are right, they deserve to be in the conversation. Also to be factored in would be the degree of difficulty of pulling it off in each sport. I do believe the degree of difficulty for 15 years of always winning 10+ games in the NFL may be tougher. Brady will be in his 6th Super Bowl. That is some amazing stuff right there.
let me put this simply.
you are a goddamn moron.
Worthy of consideration? You're the guy who included the entire "sports world" in your original statement, so the NBA's Spurs should immediately come to mind. I can't imagine a better example of sustained greatness. Extending back 25 years, they've had 22 seasons with a winning percentage of .610 or higher. In 2 other seasons, they were 12 and 16 games over .500. The Spurs have had ONE losing season in a quarter of a century...what's the degree of difficulty for that accomplishment? In any sport? Maybe you can talk about 15 straight 10-win seasons for the Patriots 3 years from now, but the current streak is at 12. And I will correct myself: San Antonio has had 15, not 17, consecutive 50-win seasons. 98-99 was a strike year and they only played 50 total games (of which they won 37 and lost 13-- it would've been kind of tough to go 50-0).
Tim Duncan's been to six NBA Finals, and managed to win five of them. So has his well-respected head coach, Gregg Popovich. Without bending the rules. That is some amazing stuff right there.
You live in Tampa. Who's the moron again?
