Sure thing wingnut……..we want to be a dynasty just like the Squeelers***** , riiiiight. Steroids & HGH – see, if you are going to use spygate BS then you have to accept your own rule bending as well.
Supposed illegal filming of signals versus drugged up and fed up cheating players…so that’s how your mind works.
Wingnut your a first class dickhead.
As for you Florio & ESPN – you are right on – ESPN blows, nothing but shameless crap to get people to click on their website.

Once ABC bought ESPN, their news departments have the same focus, make stuff up if it suits our purpose.

Did you know that a wingnut is always the female end of a connection?
Go buy some tampons wingnut and leave the football talk to the men.”
Classic! Absolutely classic! I don’t know what to add, except to repeat it!

@ Wingnuts
1. Parcells has never won a SB w/o BB, is that what you’re talking about?
2. The SB the Stilers won was awful to watch…bad calls, pre-season type game…
3. Adam Viniteri won with the Colts, that’s one. I think Dexter Reid was on that team too.
4. BB has 4 rings…3 Pats, 1 Giants, How many does Cowher have genious?
Interesting, that you bash the Pats? Why? With a name like Wingnut I thought you’d be from Detroit! Now there’s an NFL juaggernaut!

The NFL does NOT test for HGH because the union, and probably the NFL itself does not want players to have their blood drawn, not because there is no test available. A blood test has been available since summer of 2004.
And as far as NFL testing for other PED’s(steroids) and narcotics,
the players know well in advance when they are going to be tested.

@ SteelyJ:
Way to prove my point…. Once again, anyone who doesn’t find Harrison’s unfounded climb from PRACTICE SQUAD to Defensive Player of the Year is either DUMB and/or a Steelers’ fan. SteelyJ just ignore the ‘or’, it obviously doesn’t apply to you.

In response to BlitzDorsey, I don’t think the point is that the Steelers were not taking HGH from this doctor. They may have been. The point is that ESPN did (another) lousy/lazy job in reporting the story. And they held it intentionally until they felt it could have the most important impact. Wasn’t it also ESPN that reported on Paul Byrd and steroids on the day of game 7 of the 2007 ALCS? The story about this doctor was already out there – why report if you are ESPN unless you have something new, such as quotes from Steelers or anyone of relevance? But ESPN doesn’t have it, but for some reason, Mike Fish thinks being an investigative reporter means simply reprinting facts already known. Where is the investigation? What doesn’t ESPN use all of its power to actually report a story? Instead they are content to offer up garbage like this on a repeated basis.

Diehard Steelers fan Florio has this response? SHOCKING I TELL YA.
Hey Florio, I can’t wait until this guy comes out with more evidence and makes you look like even more of a fool. The facts are pretty clear here. The Steelers’ team doctor buys $150K worth of HGH (that’s almost a career’s worth for Roger Clemens) then when he is caught the team fires him to try and save face (with I’m sure a nice buyout under the table not to say anything).Then you have scrub Steeler players that suddenly have great years when they come to Pittsburgh. Hmmm. I would say the Steelers are like the NFL’s version of the St. Louis Cardinals. Under Tony LaRussa, guys just seem to have career year after career year. And to say there’s no actual proof that the Steelers did HGH, that is laughable. That would be like someone saying there is no actual proof that Barry Bonds did ‘roids. You might not have video evidence, but you know he did it. The BALCO documents back it up just like the news about the Steelers’ doctor. If you believe this doctor bought $150,000 worth of HGH for his regular patients, I have waterfront property in Florida I want to sell you.
And to the guy that thought Florio was a Steelers hater, you’re not very perceptive, are you? Florio is an obvious Steeler lover and anyone who has been on this site for a long period of time knows what I’m talking about. Keep cryin’ Florio!!! I hope this takes your cheating Steelers down!

ESPN is a joke, and Mike Fish is right at the top of the list of why the network has become nothing more than a necessary evil for sports fans. For me personally, I go to ESPN to watch games, I go to ESPN.com to check a schedule or a stat. But as far as news, I do my best to stay away. There is no integrity with the network whatsoever because they know they can do whatever they want, and no matter what you think, if you love sports, you can’t cut ESPN/ABC out. And instead of using that as motivation to provide the best possible product, ESPN has gone the other way. If you want real news about sports, turn away from ESPN. If you want to know about Paul Blart Mall Cop, then maybe, ESPN is the place to go.

I am and always have been a Steelers fan. Do I think Steelers are using HGH? Absolutely. The only teams in the NFL that aren’t are the ones with the 260lb offensive linemen. They’re aren’t any. Every team does it. Period. Anyone that doesn’t believe this has their head in the sand.

I agree 100% and I hate the Steelers.

Wait just a minute, Florio. It was well established by this time last year that ” everyone’s doing it” is not a legitimate defense.
HGH use is rampant throughout the NFL. If we’re pointing out individual teams where the use of HGH seems “systemic”, I’d have to put the Steelers, Ravens and Giants at the top of the list. Remember the days when guys built like Bruce Smith and Jim Brown dominated the league. True freaks of nature. Now each of those teams listed above have at least 4 guys on their rosters built like that. Seems more likely a freak of science than nature, now.

Want to know why ESPN did this now? Becuase many of you proved there was a huge market for it. You lapped it up last year. You couldn’t get enough of it becuase it served your agenda. You willingly turned off your critical thinking and helped the media create a frenzy from which they made a lot of money. Now the same people have the audacity to ask, “why now?” Give me a F’ing break! Your simply getting a taste of your own medicine.

Not a new story. The steelers have been using performance enhancers since the dawn of the organization. Now florio may not be a Steeler fan but whoever filters these posts DEFINETLY is. I had a post censored because I referred to Rothlisberger as “Simple Ben”

Why would any NFL player not be on HGH? They do not test for it, and most of them are rich enough to buy it without getting caught. They can pay a doctor to buy and distribute it, because it makes them bigger, stronger and faster, and a lot more money on the next contract. Any one willing to play pro football already proved they are not too concerned with long term health. If you do not test them for hgh, they are going to use it. They may even get it from the team doctors. There is no proof, no snitches, and for those who are looking for the bodies, just try to round up the old players for a party. Not the really old guys, just try to fill a room with former NFL players that are between 55 and 65.

wingnut, the only reason the Steelers slipped into the playoffs this year is because Brady got injured. I hope the Ravens kick your collective black and gold asses. Greetings from New England!
