We all know that Major League Baseball is under the microscope right now with so many of the top steroids proven to have used performance enhancing drugs.  Some of the most prestigeous records in all of sports are baseball records.  I am more of a football man myself, but even I recognize that numbers in baseball are holly.  You say a number and people know what you are refering to “61″, or “755″ for example…  Both of those have been broken,  and you can not help wonder if they should have been!  The effect that steroid abuse has had onthe record books for Major League Baseball is nothing short of a travisty, and I think that is one reason that they are under the microscope so much.

In the NFL it’s a lot harder to point to one single individuals use of steroids effect on a particular record.  In fact I don’t think that Tom Brady taking steroids would make him a better quarterback,  however if is offensive linemen were using steroids that could help out a lot.

What if we were to fnd out that Emmitt Smith did steroid throughout his career?  Would there be similar outrage that he beat Walter Payton’s record by using performance enhancing substances?  I think that is the only thing in football really that can strike the same kind of chord with the diehard NFL fans.

We’ve known and or suspected a lot of NFL players,  but we don’t typically associate it with any of the fantasy football skill position super stars.  David Boston was obviously a steroid freak, and look were it got him.  Normally when we think of steroids we think of defensive players, I mean go back to the days of Lyle Alzado and John Matuzak,  to Bill Romonowski, to Shawne Merriman who was suspended for using steroids.   We’ve knows it’s there, but again it’s never tarnished any Holly Grail of the sport the way it’s effected baseball, and I can not imagine aything coming close to the magnitude of this continuing story in baseball.
