  1. Good Morning from Omaha,

    your cartoon brings out a sad but true representation of life as a high school athlete. Even here in the big O, why should we be any different, HS kids playing football have been using PED’s.

    In an effort to get that extra advantage over others for that big time college football scholarship and eventually live that NFL dream, kids are putting all kinds of substances in their bodies, legal and otherwise.

    You try and point to the lyle alzado’s , Junior Seau and others who have died as a result of the putting of PED’s in their bodies and the kids just shrug. I know, they think they are invincible and live for the days of glory to come.

    We have put athletes on a pedestal and we think they live a life free of troubles but everyday the gossip web sites are full of former athletes and their personal troubles. Athletes are just people who, in spite of having money, struggle from day to day with things in there life. they are just “normal” people who have worked hard to perfect their abilities, god given or enhanced by medical sciences.

    Its a crime what they are doing to themselves but the key words are they and themselves. The consequences are too far in the future to worry about now.

    Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

    Gene
