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.

Hi Josh, Thank you for reading and commenting on my article. I also, read, enjoyed, and commented on your article about fixing the NFL. As far moving a team, every sports league wants to keep its existing franchises. So expansion is preferred. They'll explore all options in San Diego thoroughly including getting a new stadium built before considering moving.
