Here is another completely different view. What if we allowed each player to take a limited dose of HGH in order to stay more healthy and thus produce a better NFL where players are not constantly missing games for smaller injuries? When we go see action films we don’t seem to care that those actors are beefed up on roid type drugs and everything you see is basically fake. Not sure why we treat are other form of entertainment differently.

As a football fan I couldn’t stand to watch the sport I love suffer through the same hypocrisy that baseball has. Yes they knew about steroids and didn’t give a damn because chicks dig the long ball. Then they turn their backs on the men that saved their sport from utter mediocrity and t.v. hell while they act like self righteous traditionalist. It’s disgusting.

There should be an exception for using HGH to recover from an injury as it is when non-athletes are injured. Limiting legitimate medical treatment options out of fear that they will be used to enhance performance diminishes the game by preventing star players from getting healthy sooner.

Our players want a clean game more than [Commissioner] Roger Goodell wants a clean game.

That’s obvious since no player ever tests positive for PEDs, right? This guy is a delusional clown and the NFLPA has no intention of testing for HGH…at least until something different and better is found.

Which means nothing. MLB testing is a bigger joke than NFL.

The NFL ought to take that deal NOW.

With the exception of Ryan Braun, no MLB player ever won a drug appeal. And Selig fired the ‘wayward’ arbitrator after the Braun case anyway.

Take it Roger….
