Tim Couch Must've Used the Wrong HGH

12
Vote

by SSreporters

From Stupid Sideline Reporters

Ex-NFL player Tim Couch admitted that he experimented with HGH (Human Growth Hormone). Couch was recently cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars, leaving them with only 3 injury prone QB's. However, the drug allegations apparently had nothing to do with his release from the Jags. Here is one of the quotes from the story.

"Couch told Yahoo.com that he passed a drug test when he signed with the Jaguars. Edwards said the NFL's drug-testing policy is confidential, and results are not shared with teams. Teams are only notified when players are suspended for violating the policy, he said."

So if he passed the drug test, he likely took it either during his short stint with the Browns, or when he was out of football from 4 years. So people, HGH doesn't guarantee success in sports.

That raises the question - if Couch was on performance enhancing drugs, who else is on them.

The sad truth is, if the NFL truly had a hard testing program, a lot of current day players would get busted.

Simply put, human beings are not designed to weight anywhere close to 300 lbs.

The thing is, most 300lb plus football players have mostly muscle, not fat. That is a major different b/w them and the Old Country Buffet folks.

That guy surely is not in the NFL. Nice attempt to dump my argument, but it fails.

Not to nitpick, but can you back up that statement "Human beings are not meant to weight anywhere near 300 lbs." with any evidence/proof/support.

dude, that chart is B.S... I'm too tall for it and would have to lose 80-90 pounds to be "normal" - sorry, if I were 90 pounds lighter, I would NOT look "normal"

As a licensed nutritionist, I can tell you one thing I never use in reference to a client's body structure or weight, and I am not aware of anyone else who does either...BMI. It is quite possibly the most flawed measurement in the entire industry.

Merriman's failed test last season should raise the most red flags. Couch is an ordinary player, but Merriman has his sights set on the single season sack record. If he reaches it this year or in the future, doesn't that deserve an asterisk?

This should not surprise anyone. The minor league system in baseball was supposedly flooded with steroids for years, and 99% of those guys never benefited as much as they would have hoped.
