The Super Bowl overall was a good exciting game to watch. It was an action packed game and kept me on the edge of my seat especially in the fourth quarter. The Giants were the underdogs and came out on top of the favored patriots who previosly were undfeated and trying to be the second team to go undefeated ever. While watching it i realized how athletic and muscular the two teams were.

Looking at the size of the players it just amazes me the size of the linemen and the masculinity of the major athletes that make the big plays in the games. Somehow i don't see how some of these older players can stay in this game because of how fast paced the games are now. I'm not saying that they are taking steroids but there has to be some question of whether or not they are taking something to still be as fit as they are. The celebration after Michael Strahan sacked Tom Brady made me realize how jacked he still was. He was contemplating retiring this season because of his age. Still though he was very impressive.

Still sometimes I think that these athletes as they get older I wonder that they are using the performance enhancing drugs to keep them in the game and keep them up with all the new athletes as they get faster the game will be getting faster.

if they are as old as you implie the players must be taking something. when you get older your metasbolism slowes down and you have too take something to stay fit.

Good post. Strahan is a great example. You have to wonder how players our able to have resurgences in the autumns and even winters of their careers. I would suggest posting some statistics to offer support to your suspicions.

yeah most of the athletes take supplements to get big or bigger and stay in shape for out on the field. Most of those supplements that they take are legal though. A lot of supplements aren't steriods but act as steriods. A lot of players muscularity comes from what they eat like linemen eat a lot of meat and other sources of protein to get real beefy and real hard to contain from going past you thats for sure. I like that little picture you got there its pretty funny.
