What's up with that? Why does anybody give a hoot if a coach is using performance enhancing drugs?

The roid rage will make him fire up his team better at half time. That's an unfair advantage.

This charge is really BS, imo. Is this any worse than Coach Switzer's drinking?

The LEAGUE rules dont apply just to players...and it has been clearly stated that coaches are held to a higher standard...
Additionally, why by HGH illegally from a dealer...when you could go to a doctor, and if appropriate, get a prescription...and clear it's use with the league ahead of time???:confused:

Maybe as a way to get the "medicine" to a player, one would suppose. We're going to hear a whole lot more on this over the next few weeks. Wilson's got some splainin' to do.

Oh God I hope not. This could be really bad for the Cowboys if he did supply it to a player. Especially if it is a player that is a vital part of the team.:eek:

To be fair we are talking about a league that suspends players for prescribed medicines for specific medical conditions if those medicines are on their list. It's a huge assumption to think the NFL would give a hoot if Wilson had approached them. Ask Hollis Thomas how it feels to be suspended for taking medicine to control an asthmatic condition he's always had. Wilson would have been best served if he had at least let the Cowboys know what he was doing, I agree with that. What I also agree with is a person's right to explore any & all options that can help to increase their quality of life. Wilson has been dealing with diabetes for nearly 20 years & knows what the disease can do to a body. I have no issue with what he is/was doing.
