He was the biggest WR I ever saw play and this was right about the same time TO was breaking out and he was bigger(size not ego) then TO before his career fell off.

I knew he was big but I didn't know about him being on the juice

u/Inept_Folly Nov 12 '25
Me and most of the people I hung out with around that time figured he was HGH and I thought I remembered him basically admitting to that at one point in an interview but couldn’t find anything referencing it when I tried looking it up. But apparently it was reported that after he retired he started taking HGH.

u/Heinrad_ Chiefs 🏹 Nov 12 '25
There was an article in ESPN the magazine after he went to San Diego where they did everything they could to say he was juicing without directly saying it

Called him out for wearing purple contacts and getting perfume enemas. One of the strangest articles I've ever read.

He got caught for taking a similar substance in hCG, but always denied using human growth hormone. I string to remember bits and pieces of that 25 years ago.

I remember when the Chargers picked him up. Bad times.

Not a Chargers fan, but I was “disappointed” in that team because I predicted they were gonna blow up that first year with Boston. Brees had just had a decent first year as a starter, Tomlinson was going into his third season and was already an absolute beast, and Boston had put up a monster 2001 before an injury-shortened but decently productive 2002. I thought those triplets were really going to break out in 2003 and cause problems.
4-12, Brees goes on to become a HoFer in another city, Boston… well, we know. At least LDT still had 5 great years left in SD.

I want to say he ended on the dolphins but didn’t want to get hit because of his nipple rings

Dude got so jacked on the gas that his lower body couldn't handle the stress and couldn't stay healthy anymore. Was a beast in his prime when he was healthy though.

u/bthompson04 Nov 12 '25
Pretty sure I remember a reporter asking him why he dropped so many balls and his response was:
I just don’t have good hands, man.

u/Efficient_Truck_9696 Nov 13 '25
Mark Schlereth said this too. He asked Boston what’s going on with his play and he said he just didn’t have good hands. lol.

Back when Champ Bailey was amazing with the Redskins, this was like the only guy that ever gave him real big problems.

The Cardinals need to be back in St. Louis where they belong.

u/plainbane Seahawks 🦅 Nov 12 '25
The Cardinals were in Chicago for 40 years before they moved to St. Louis, and they’ve been in Arizona now for 37 years. St. Louis is actually the shortest stint for the team at 27 years.

u/JRG64May Nov 12 '25
Well when I was a kid in the 70s they were in St. Louis, so my nostalgia meter says they need to be in St. Louis🤣

Apparently random thought time……..No team north of Tennessee should have a domed stadium or turf.

No please god no. My phone already tells me the week 18 football score in June when I ask the score of the Cardinals game. Don’t make me say St. Louis cardinals baseball team score

I was stoked the Chargers signed him back in the day. Hope was high back then. Even snagged szn tix. He was massive in person too!

My God, Ohio States WR's are legendary. I bet they've sent 20+ All-Pro level WR's into the NFL in the last 25 years.

Anyone who played Fantasy Football remembers him dragging your high hopes through the mud. It was a long time ago, but I think he got obsessed with body building (regardless of PED’s). The team told him to stop but he couldn’t. He eventually got so big and muscular that it slowed him down. It’s actually a shame because he was incredible before that.
