Goodell wanted nothing to effect the integrity of the NFL, that's why he didn't disclose the tapes or add fines. The NFL wanted this to disappear as fast as possible... mission accomplished. I don't think it effected the outcome of games, but most of the sports world does... you guys have to learn to live with that.
Steroids. Every team used them including Pittsburgh. We dominated the 70's so we're the target for everybody. Do steroids make you a better football player? No. They make you stronger. They don't improve technique, work ethic, film study, deisre, leadership, speed, quickness, blocking, tackling ect. ect. They make you stronger. Period. Not nearly as big an advantage as knowing what defense you opponent is in. Not even in the same realm.
