vafalconfan Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 You know anymore every time I read about another NFL great in his 50's or 60's dying of a sudden heart attack I wonder about the steroid thing. I know Tatum had other health issues unrelated to that, but so many of these guys die very early. They were not really tested back then and the knowledge of long term damage was hearsay at best. I know Lyle Alzaedo was the poster child for that era, but you have to believe that other players were experimenting with these drugs as well..
