Big, strong, impressive guy in college, alas just barely mediocre in the NFL.

Whenever an NFL rookie's pr centers around how strong he is, his physique, how big his muscles are, he invariably has a disappointing career. Think Mike Ruth.

Mike was a good dude and got to know him visiting my GF at BC. Had the worst acne I had ever seen coming right down his arms.

Ran into him a couple of times at the local uni. Huge, huge guy, but also one of the biggest dicks.

One of the biggest busts in NFL history!

He's not the first steroid guy to get into pain killers. The same drug dealers in the gym parking lots that sell out of their trunk also deal in other crap.

What I find even more disturbing about his story are guys that drug just to look good in the mall and the clubs. There are guys who do cycle after cycle just to walk around with their temporary drug muscles to feel good about them self.

In the ESPN article posted; it said that Tony was 320LB in college and dominating the competition. After he left the NFL the 1st time, Tony ended up in drug rehab... Then...He made a come-back. Tony was steroid free during his comeback and weighed 320 (but wasnt as dominant)

There is no way that he was back to up to 320LB drug free. He admitted that he was taking about 6 different steroids to get up to 320 in college. There is no way that he could come off all the roids.... and still weigh 320lbs. His testicles would be shutdown.

This is why I hate these: "I've turned from my evil ways" articles. The athlete in question, despite being older in years, usually never quite overcame their chronic lying problem. Whats worse, they use the article (filled with lies) to get attention & sympathy.

Remember Mike Ruth, came out of Boston College.

He was in the wrong era...Probably 50% of the NFL is juicing now. Chemical meat suit posers..
