Merriman must be training for a comeback.
 

The best part is that he went right back out to a club. What a dumb-ass, and I used to respect him to a degree.

Ball don't lie

Merriman sure got a lot of attention for not much production. He got 10 sacks his first year, then 17 and 12.5 the next two years. After that, he totaled 6 sacks in the next five years. He was much ado about nothing.

roided up loser

well 17 sacks was pretty badass

I think the going right back to a club and hitting up Twitter about a stained shirt and lost sunglasses right after getting out of the hospital may be more impressive.

I'll spot him that season. But otherwise he was pretty meh. I wonder how much money he made those last five seasons when I had almost as many sacks as he did.

well obviously the roids were his uprising and downfall

but he was the toast of the league for those 3 years

I agree. He was the greatest thing since sliced steroid-infused bread.

I remember seeing him and Trent Green together on some show related to the draft or something. Trent's not shrimpy by any means, but you wondered how a reasonably normal guy like Trent Green survived out there getting hit by monsters like Merriman. The guy was absolutely mammoth, and was nominally just a linebacker.

he was definitely one of my least favorite players ever

I remember when Eli started slow and the Chargers got Rivers, Merriman and Kaeding for Eli and everyone was all like 'oh man what a great trade!!!'

Yeah I'm thinking the Giants won that one.

"I am stepping back to pursue other great opportunities that have been afforded me."

so, OD in hollywood?

My question is did he really just quit taking GH, test, etc...or did something else happen? The league is just loaded with that stuff, and people to help you around it. Why would he just stop? Never made sense to me. It obviously wasn't a morality decision when you read stories like this.

I think he just ****ed his knee up and was just done.

Does anybody believe Cushing is clean?

So cocaine, ecstasy or xanax?

I don't think a lot of NFL players are clean

I also don't care

No. Maybe there's some primitive tribe that doesn't know about steroids that would believe it, but I doubt it.

I wish the KC sports scene would have a huge steroids scandal because then at least I'd know they were trying

I want to pump Moose so full of steroids

That might be a good order to take them in. Personal preferences I guess. But the xanies must bat in the three hole either way. ha

This. If the players and owners don't care, why should the fans?

Back in 06 and 07 I used to sell alcohol in the gaslamp district in SD. He used to go to this beach bar at the Hard Rock called Intervention. Up close he is a massive individual and looked more like a LT than a LB. He was always surrounded by an entourage of Ho's and pissed out of his mind.

Yeah... well... I think he stopped roiding up to become a loser.

I mean he got popped for PED"s and after a year his body completely started falling apart and he became a non-factor.

I don't think it's a reach to assume he owed a lot of his success to PED's.

There is truth to this. I think the order is correct. Never once did I pile coke on top of X and have it result in a pleasurable experience. It always kind of ruined the vibe.

Day 1 of training: lure Priest Holmes to his house with a trail of nachos, then re-break his neck with a horse collar tackle

Still was in one of the greatest commercials of all time.
