[quote=Gibbsmeatitle#1;398422]I don't mean to start a controversy, but in the face of the Mitchell report doesn't it seem strange that no one has yet addressed potential steroid abuse among NFL referees.

Ya can't tell me he's all natural. The man is 57 years old, a trial attorney and has six kids! Where did he find the strength for that? And now we also have a 61 year old referee, Jim Quirk, putting Green Bay linebacker, Nick Barnett, in a rear naked choke that Chuck Liddell would envy. Even more stunning is the fact that the player threatened to file a grievance because he was subdued by a man twice his age!

I just wanted to assure everyone that I am absolutely serious about my concern for this issue and this is not some feeble attempt at comic relief for us before a monumental game against our archrival. Honest.

This is just ridiculous. Why is it that when a man takes care of himself, works out hard and eats right, that one is accused of taking steriods or HGH? Trust me, if you train hard, which Ed H. does, and eat right, you can look good until the day you die. Most people that don't workout think you have to be on something in order to look good at an older age. They are also jaded by the media.

On the other side of that.... Let's say he is taking something. You still have to work out hard and eat right. There is no such thing as a miracle drug. I myself workout hard 6 days a week. I'm almost 40 and I've never looked better. I have less bodyfat now than when I was in HS. You know why? Cause I train hard and eat right, just like Ed H. does. Yet I have friends who think I'm on something. They are just are not educated about training/ health and fitness. But to me it's a compliment.

Re: Refs and Roids
 

maybe he just has a thing for looking at buff NFL referees.... can someone please hijack this thing already.

Is this for real?

Anyone who knows anything about bodybuilding or steroids can tell you that Ed Hochuli is NOT juicing. I lifted competitively at one point and have spent lots of time around guys who have done it naturally and guys who have not.

Steroid users have a certain look, which Hochuli simply does not have. Probably the biggest proof is that Hochuli is also not really that big - if he's juicing, he's doing a pretty bad job at it. Like skinsfan69 said, anyone with a moderate amount of work and proper diet could look like Hochuli. Thinking that his size or fitness level is abnormal shows an alarming lack of knowledge of fitness and diet.

And how does a ref putting a guy in a headlock serve as any proof that anyone is using steroids?? And how does this thread even exist?

And why am I responding to it? :doh:

Present and Future Posters (if there are any),

I suggest everyone reread the initial post (focusing on the last few sentences) and then look up the word "satire". If after that you don't understand the thread, then just move along.

Satire isn't all that funny when the satirist is the only one who gets it.

Maybe you should look up "irony" and then read your sentence about your post not being "a feeble attempt at comic relief."

Re: Refs and Roids
 

Why can't a 57 year old man build his body up? It isn't physically impossible. As far as having six kids and all that. Well, I'm sure the guy has the money for a nanny, so it's not like he's spending every waking minute with his kids.
