WASHINGTON - The federal steroids case involving former Carolina Panthers players is "the tip of the iceberg" of what might be going on in the National Football League, the chairman of a congressional committee probing sports doping said Wednesday.

Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., said there will be more inquiries by the House Committee on Government Reform into the matter after he read a report in Sunday's Observer detailing six NFL players' involvement with Dr. James Shortt, formerly of West Columbia, S.C. The players included three starting offensive linemen from Carolina's 2004 Super Bowl team and two other ex-Panthers.

It trips me out how the NFL tries to single out certain players! For ex. Saubruan, I think I spelled that correctly lol. They had it posted all over the media, how he used steroids. I mean he was just a kicker, I mean how much did he really affect the game? Now Tom Brady is allegedly using steroids, I heard it one time. That was on Pardon the Interruption, how come he isn't blasted all over the media. You know why b/c he is America's Favorite son!! He is the only currently active QB that has three superbowl championships. If they found Troy Aikman or Joe Montana on steriods at the peak of their careers, do you think they would have said anything to them. The answer is no, so the commitee finds a scapgoat like a little known kicker. I forgot how many superbowl has saubraun won....my point exactly. Tome Brady has how many...The prosecution rests.
