About John »

I lived in Pittsburgh for the first 22 years of my life. I am a die-hard Pittsburgh sports fan, although we do have a baseball team on the verge of 16 consecutive losing seasons. But we have a great legacy and a fantastic future. I live in Los Angeles now, but I will be a Pittsburgh fan til the day I die.

Much has been written about the Steelers, the 1970s, and their use of steroids. The current public perception is the Steelers began and glamorized the use of roids in the 70s. Read my article to find out who one man, with 4 NFL teams, spread the use of steroids throughout the NFL, beginning in 1963, and see just how pervasive roid usage was by the time the Steelers began their decade of dominance.

Some late round picks, where I said they should go, where they went, and what they're doing now.

Hey John—Max Tcheyan here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our Penguins page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at mtcheyan@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,
Max

Hey John,

I'm the Pittsburgh Pirates community leader for Bleacher Report. I really liked your article about the trade deadline, and was hoping you would write some more Pirate articles in the future. Perhaps you would even want to write a follow-up to your last Pirate article, given the team's terrible play this weekend? Anything about the team that interests you is fair game. I'd love to see more of your writing in the Pirate community!

Thanks,
Andrew
