but Favre used painkillers in the middle of his career to keep himself playing and was addicted to them, yet no one ever talks about that when brining up the records he can/did break. Not that it's even close to the scale of bonds' cheating, but it's something i've wondered what other wisconsin sports fans would feel about. Woah, woah, woah. Favre was a junkie for part of his career but working in mental health, I can tell you that being addicted to narcotics DOES NOT make you a better athlete and cannot be compared to taking steroids. Period. If anything, it would hurt you significantly in a sport as fast as football as narcotics cause psychomotor retardation. That being said, I didn't nod my cap to Bonds earlier so I will do so now. *nod. I will not make another comment on this subject and I hope that the national sports media can now focus on baseball.
