1. Given what has been reported on David Boston's daily coctail, I imagine he drops HUNDREDS of thousands per year on drugs. I don't think that's crazy speculation on my part. If not for a ridiculous salary, how could he afford to do so. FWIW, I think the teams should manage (and purchase)all performance drugs administered to their players anyway.
2. This is not just a concern I have for the NFL. It is a problem for every league, IMO.
Salaries are such a problem for me that I've struggled at times with supporting the NFL. The primadonnas really make it hard to enjoy the purity of the game sometimes.
