Not really. The NFL has regular testing for steroids. And you rarely here of anyone getting busted for using them. Lets not deflect the adverse attention just because your fav sport happens to be baseball
Right...that's why 10 years ago you rarely heard of a linemen over 300-lbs. Now you rarely hear one under that. That's why you never heard of 240-lbs. linebackers but now that is undersized. Please tell me that some of these guys are not on something. Or did NFL players all of a sudden realize that there are things like gyms?

But wait, every once in a while you have to stand in the outfield and catch a ball if its hit towards you. They DO have it rough. And then sometimes they even have to swing at a ball with a bat a few times !. Holy shit how do they do it ?. Not to mention running a few feet from one base to another with only 3 years to rest after they get there most of the time. Gladiator I tell you, they're gladiators !
Funny. Then tell me why every player is in good shape? For if they do very little then what is the point of them being in any kind of shape? You make it seem like that stuff isn't hard when, in truth, it is actually difficult to do with some degree of consistency. Running a few feet? It's 30 yards to each base. How many 30 yard plays are in a football game? Usually not that many.

Yes, playing one game may not be that taxing but playing over 150 is. You have never played a single real team game have you? You have no idea how difficult it is. I pray that your ignorance on the matter is just because you like the NFL so much.

I think that steroid use or any other use of supplements is plain wrong (Unless it is for your health or something along those lines). Steroid use goes on in just about every sport. It's not going to make me any less of a fan of any game because it is already clear to me that some people do use them. It does make me angry that people would try and defend football players of not taking anything. I'm sure some players, maybe most, don't. But to say that baseball is worse? Please.

How can you guys say they make too much money? We are part of the reason they do make so much. Stop watching sports and when there are no fans then there wont be any point in paying the players. But I guess you can't blame people for finding something interesting. Blame the owners then. They are the ones with all the money!

And Baseball is just part of my religon. Sports and Video games just about covers it
