Didn't see this posted and just heard an interview about the story and it is quite interesting......supposedly there are many other names linked but they have not been named. Might never now the whole truth since the lead witness is dead.

*Edit...I meant to put a ? mark at the end of the thread title.*

Michael Vick has told federal investigators that he never used performance-enhancing drugs, but Plano, Texas, steroids trafficker David Jacobs told the Dallas Morning News before his death that he was Vick's supplier when the quarterback played for the Atlanta Falcons.

The News did not publish Jacobs' allegations against the NFL quarterback now with the Eagles because authorities at the time declined to confirm Vick was part of the Jacobs investigation.

But a newly released document shows that federal agents and prosecutors questioned Vick about steroids and human growth hormone while investigating his dogfighting ring in the fall of 2007. He denied using the drugs

i hope he gets fried for something! Electrocuted is better!

Leave me out of this scandal please. :D

Anyway......if he is still playing after all the other sh!t he has done, and has obviously gotten away with by NFL standards.........I don't think they are gonna give a damn about this either.

Just wonder who will have to take the fall, to save his ass again.

is it just me or does steroid use in football not seem to be as big of a deal as steroid use in baseball?

Well when the day comes that it is proven that half the league is on something than put me in the front of the line of people not surprised. Especially with no testing done for HGH (the most popular steroid). But drug testing in all sports is a joke (unless there are any that allow blood tests).

There have been plenty of whispers, and stories about this kind of stuff in the NFL and that is how it was in baseball until they were forced to do something about it and Congress stepped in.

Kind of like the concussion thing. It was going ignored by the NFL until Congress was about to step in and that changed everything and it is now one of their most important issues. (HBO's Real Sports did a great piece on it)

      2025 Salary Cap Offense/Defense

      By woahfraze · Posted

      I think Morgan has had the right general idea. The problem has been in execution.    Bryce year 1, there were myriad issues from roster talent to coaching and scheme, but the offensive line was particularly glaring. So they went out and  fixed the o-line by signing Hunt and Lewis.  That fix actually seems to have been at least moderately successful.    Last year, pass rush was a major issue. So they invested along the defensive line and at edge. The problem is, they either expended too many resources over correcting—partially because in free agency, when you’re a shitty franchise, you have to overpay to get talent in the door—or they didn’t make the right picks. It’s probably too early to pass judgment on the free agent class or draft picks as it’s only been one game. So we’ve got a small sample size and rookie edges may take time to develop. But if game 1 is any indication, they didn’t solve the problem.

      This is getting out of hand again. I swear some of yall just look for reasons to call out the QB, in an extremely thinly vieled "OFFENSIVE CAP HIT" statement.  All of that is offensive line. It was an overreaction to how horrible the guards were in 2023, where guys were starting multiple games that will never take a snap in the NFL again. Speaking of 2023... where did the offensive cap rank then? Where are those WRs playing in the league now? How much are the WRs, TEs and RBs making compared to the rest of the NFL? We have two, 1st round WRs on the roster. And they are the only WRs on the roster picked before the 4th round. One shouldn't have been a first rounder, he's only in his second season, AND he was literally outplayed by an UDFA rookie WR last year - that is currently on IR. The other WR picked before the 4th round has only played one game as a pro.  QB play needs to improve. Absolutely no friggin doubt about that. But, come on. That dude has not been dealt a fair hand, no matter how many ways you try to spin it. Let's hope he figures out how to make chicken salad out of the chicken poo this team has served him his entire time here. Hoping that this org finds another Cam Newton is not really a realistic expectation.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By Waldo · Posted

      Put Young on any team and they would still have to run a limited scheme for him. Put any talent around him and they still have to carry him.  IDGAF if we trade him inside the NFCS next year. That is how little I fear ever playing him.
