The baseball steroid scandal gets all the press and headlines but there is no doubt in my mind that the NFL has just as much an issue, they just have better PR. For example, take a look at Shawn Merriman.

He’s an otherworldly linebacker with a devastating combination of power and speed, and he was suspended 4 games in 2006 for testing positive for steroids. Of course, he then went on to record 15.5 sacks in only 12 games. So he’s a beast. Also, he’s a tool. Further, he’s a member of the San Diego Chargers who feature whiners like Ladanian Tomlinson who complained about the Patriots every time after they have manhandled him and turned him from an MVP into Lamont Jordan.
So when I saw this story the cockles of my heart were warmed. Obviously it is unfortunate to have one’s car stolen, but I feel little sympathy. To whomever torched the car, drop me a comment, as I’m sure you are one of my regular millions of readers, I’d like to enroll you in a fabulous steak of the month club.
As much as I dislike the Chargers with their uber-douche merely average QB Philip Rivers and Norv Turner and his pock-marked face, I do truly enjoy their fight song, if only because it is simply ridiculous. Enjoy it here.
