NFL adds amphetamines to steroids policy

They did this today!  MLB did this 6 months ago.  

You know what I hate about all this "steroid scandal" is that the other sports, especially the media-darling NFL has skated through this without a scratch.

Sure we can look at McGwire and Bonds and see some muscle, but has anyone looked at NFL linemen?  These guys are biblically proportiioned giants.  Men 6-6, 350, 4% body fat, and can run 4.4 40's never existed in world history (outside of the WWF).  

If the world wants to take away HR records, let's revoke some NFL and NBA records too.  Or let's just say ALL sports have had dirty players (both offensive and defensive) and there is no conceivable way to subtract records.  Let's just throw out the bums that are still around and move on...

It's pretty much acknowledged that over half the NFL was on steroids all through the 1980s. I'm guessing there are two reasons for the lack of outrage.
  1. $$$$ from TV and gambling
  2. Records don't matter that much in football
Remember when Emmitt Smith broke Walter Payton's record? That didn't get half the coverage that Bonds got even for his 600th homer, which is nowhere near the record.
