After everything that has happened on this topic over the past 20 years, it is literally confounding when people get self righteous about PEDs.
I need to check out Prescription Thugs, too.
Where would you slot in things like Andro? I remember reading up on it when McGwuire was "busted" for it and thinking it sounded like... really reasonable.
Prohormones were banned before I was even old enough to take them so I’m not too sure how or if they worked. I’m pretty positive the ol’ bottle of andro in the locker was a distraction though.
Really? When it comes from non-Pats fans and is in response to a Pats gotcha moment, I assume it’s naïveté or opportunism, and am therefor not confounded by, bothered by or interested in whatever I’m hearing.
Indeed. Nothing to see here, more brain damage for everyone!
As you seem to be getting at, like so many other things in life, it's not a black and white situation. Sure, maybe there's the potential for Andro and other substances, when properly administered, to enhance physical well being and improve overall quality-of-life. Sounds great, right? But you also need to consider that it could- and probably would- muddy the waters when comparing HR totals between two hitters of different eras. So now all of a sudden there's a very real potential downside accompanying the potential upside. There is no easy answer.
As you mentioned, football doesn't have the kind of counting stats that come from sheer power, like baseball. So PEDs dont have the same distorting effect on the record book. Footballs players also wear so much padding/equipment that they don't look freakishly big. By contrast, you can see the physical changes to a baseball player from one season to the next (along with the changes in performance) and it is disconcerting.
You haven't lived life until you've candy-flipped. At least that's what my burger buddy friend told me.
Candy flipped = LSD & X at the same time. No fucking idea about the burger buddy bit.
Burger buddy is Jules. I was just joking that Jules took it to the next level and one-upped Welker by adding another weight to the bar so to speak.
IIRC, it was more about what to do with a snowboarder who tested positive for weed after medaling and claimed that he had been at a party where people were smoking but hadn't smoked himself.
Shit--I didn't even notice that at first! That's the kind of shit they write in pre-headlines at newspapers just because they hope it will happen.
Worked out for Brady when he was suspended for a similarly insidious infraction.
You obviously have not been engaging in the correct activities. Hint: If you don't cum the first time within the first hour after quality stuff hits, you will be sprinting to the edge you can never quite reach til dawn...or so I'm told...
Acid comes in so many forms and levels of purity it's a class of drug. Back in the 70's I never saw blotter shit that was anything but raw crap that was rarely fun and burned the back of your skull. OTOH there was a Greek monk in a room every Sat night in the old Club Baths in the East Village who sold lime green jello windowpane that was a smooth wonderland of magical trips....
Yeah. Shrooms are my jam. Took forever to find a connect in NYC though. Everything else comes to your door in under 30.
The funniest was Tony Gonzalez. He looked like he had spent 3 straight months in the dryer.
No, and it shows Edelman is serious about playing at an elite level again too. Good for him.
Sorry
Like I said and someone more experienced in the industry went into in the Cano thread, this junk in supplements argument is a canard at this point.
I don't know if I'd be down for shrooms in NYC. Vermont was more my speed. lol.
Prohormones work, but you have to take a lot and the really good ones can have nasty side effects.
I'm less concerned about the causal and more concerned about the mediating and moderating variables lying between ingestion and end state.
