So? I'm talking about the slimy Squeelers.
Are there troubled souls and tragic accidents on every NFL team? Yes. Do most teams have a dark side? Yes.
Like it or not, this is all part of the Squeelers story.
At the heart of a 2009 investigation was the revelation in 2007 that Dr. Richard Rydze, a longtime member of the Steelers' medical staff, had been questioned by federal authorities after supposedly using a personal credit card to purchase six-figures worth of human growth hormone. According to published reports, Rydze said he purchased the HGH for his elderly patients.
Steelers guard Terry Lon tried to kill himself with rat poison after testing positive for steroids in 1991. He died in 2005 after drinking antifreeze. A year before Long died, Steelers offensive linemen Justin Strzelczyk was killed in a fiery head-on collision with a tanker truck after leading New York state troopers on a 40-mile chase. Hall of Fame center Mike Webster died from heart failure in 2002 at the age of 50, tormented by years of dementia, drug use and homelessness.
This incident was followed by off-the-field problems involving, among others, Santonio Holmes, Jeff Reed and Roethlisberger.
