A steroid dealer in Texas said Thursday that NFL investigators questioned him in an effort to learn the identities of players he had said he provided with performance-enhancing drugs. The dealer, David Jacobs, was sentenced to probation May 1 for felony steroid distribution charges. Jacobs had said he provided two NFL players with steroids and human growth hormone, and that they then supplied other NFL players with the banned substances. Jacobs said his lawyer would be present next week for a second meeting with league investigators, and Jacobs planned to bring documentary evidence regarding sales to players.

Dear Mr. Goodell, Did you ever read about President Nixon and his problem over damaging a tape? Just asking...

On Spygate..shouldn't it be up to the league and teams to act on cheating? Why doesn't/didn't Goodell move quickly and decisively to end the mess?

My solution:

I thought that the Pats were seriously wrong and should actually lose rings and trophies if the charges were true. If the NFL were like the Olympics and most other sports, they would. However, if the NFL is like wrestling, they should just say it is etertainment and what you see is what you get. Nothing wrong with that and it sets the course for handling roid problems, snow clearing, noise, hooker hiring and other scandals.

ME brilliant.

It's out of control now. It's too late. Performance Enhancing Drugs are a part of the culture. You don't get to be 6'5 and 300 pounds by simply eating your vegetables. A player will do whatever he fels he needs to do to keep getting million dollar paychecks.
