Last Thursday, HOF QB Terry Bradshaw admitted on The Dan Patrick Show to using steroids back in the 70’s, before they were banned by the NFL.
“We did steroids to get away the aches and the speed of healing. My use of steroids from a doctor was to speed up (healing after) injury, and I thought nothing of it. It was to speed up the healing process, that was it. It wasn’t to get bigger and stronger and faster.”
TB gets a pass on this, not only because he’s the most entertaining football talking-head around, but because we, as a society, learned of the alleged evils of ‘roids from now deceased 1970’s NFL behemoths like Lyle Alzado and John Matuszak.
17 members of the ‘Steel Curtain’ have died before the age of 60.
Also, it was unclear whether TB was talking about anabolic or corticosteroids.
Although, as responsible sports bloggers we have to wonder whether or not steroids led to that horribly annoying fucking laugh of his.
