Deer Antlers

Valadius Jan 20 2011 06:22 AM

Latest PED story blowing up all over the interwebs - looks like new Oakland Raiders coach Hue Jackson has been ordered to sever ties with a company that sells a spray to athletes made from deer antler extract that contains IGF-1 - which is banned by all the sports leagues and international bodies. And apparently it's so widespread that reporters have been able to get players on the record admitting to using the stuff.

oh, its the nfl. yawn. but god fucking forbid if it was baseball. it'd be front page news the nation over. hands would be wrung, babies would cry, congressmen would make foolish statements. but football players? meh. no big deal. it won't help them hit any more sacred home runs.

How funny would it be, to have Roger Clemens, with antlers growing out of his head, testifying to Congress that he had never used deer antler extract?

You _know_ probably half the baseball players are probably using the stuff. I assume as it's a growth hormone there is no test. If it was baseball, people would be wearing Antlers and chanting "deer deer deer" whenever A-Rod came to bat.

Hilarious....after that Clemens could be set free in to the wilds and hunted by those strange looking idiots form those hunting shows that like to whisper a lot while pretending to be on some grand chase between man and animal.

Dude, that's like most of this state, especially the east side, which is more dominated by the auto industry. The place comes to a stop on Nov. 15, which is the opening day of firearms deer season. I'm surprised the Tigers don't wear orange cammo caps as an alt.

It seems like the accepted uniform for hunting is camouflage, but with some form of florescent orange. Is the point to be seen? Or not to be seen? I vaguely remember hearing that deer are color-blind, so why the need for camouflage then?

You want to be seen by other hunters (talking to you Dick Cheney!) but not by the deer. The hunters are trained to look for the orange. And the deer are trained to look for the camouflage. It's simple, really!

There would probably be Pulitzers won on the back of this, and countless documentaries made about its course and its various effects. Mostly because it would take baseball 15 years to investigate.

That, my friends, is one seriously pissed-off deer.
