So, you know, it’s kind of scary with some of these chemicals that are in some of these things so you have to be careful.”

Apparently Viagra can give jocks a competitive edge by dilating blood vessels and increasing oxygenation, which means it could improve athletic performance, particularly at elevation. There’s been studies.

Now here’s my question, does that mean that the athletes will be on the field in an ummmmmmm “aroused” state? Cause those tight pants and tackling… that might not be the greatest of combinations, right?

Ok seriously, Is Viagra on the banned substance list? That wouldn’t be fair.
