On the heels of Shawn Merriman’s supposedly “unknowing” positive steroids test, we learned the reason for it possibly could stem from one of his over the counter supplements that was tampered with. Hey, that’s cool…Whatever makes you sleep better at night, Shawn? I’m just so happy you don’t have an abnormally high testosterone level…Blame it on the supplements. However, all supplements do come with labels…In fact the NFL gives its players a list of banned supplements. So, I’m guessing the University of Maryland isn’t really big into the whole reading concept, now are they? Here’s a thought…How about just pointing the finger at yourself…Accept the fact that you screwed up. In case you’re telling the truth, it’s still your fault for being careless as to what you put into your body.
With that being said, Halloween is just around the corner. While many have their own beliefs on this day…For the ones who choose to take part in this day, well…It's candy that makes you tick! The NFL does take this day seriously, as many of their players participate in it through the country in their respective communities. To help insure safety to its players and the children that will take in this day, the NFL has just released it’s “2006 Banned Candy List”. All the league players have received a copy of the list, but parents please take note…The NFL has given the exclusive rights to LastRowSports.com to make this information to the public. You will find this information nowhere else! We, along with the NFL, want to make the 2006 edition of Halloween enjoyable…And one of, without any regrets.
Halloween candy comes in all shapes and sizes, and yes, there are plenty of sweets that will forever remain top drawer dawgs no matter what else comes out -- things like Twix bars and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups will always be among the elite pack of stomach-busters for kids. However, it has been proven, an abundant amount of Kit-Kat’s, Reese’s, Nestle Crunch, Milky Way, etc. can improve the body’s ability to function & perform unnaturally at high levels and have serious risks in the process. While the NFL releases this annually, they update it yearly in accordance with all the new candy that has come out within the year. For this year, the list includes six new stomach-busters, while still containing numerous of the same old brands & labels. Take a gander at these six new additions for the 2006 list.
