Butkus gets serious on steroid use

April 1, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

All joking aside this week.  I made light of Dick Butkus blowing me off last week for our scheduled interview, but we were able to make our schedules work and I wanted to share with you his I PLAY CLEAN campaign to help raise awareness on the dangers and health risks of high school aged teens using steroids.

According to one estimate, provided by the I PLAY CLEAN campaign, there are at least 500,000 high school teens who admit they have experimented with steroids.  They also point out, it’s not just boys.  1/3 of the high school students who took steroids were girls.

Butkus, along with his son Matt are doing their part to get information out to high schools.  I felt this was a worthy and wanted to make the information available to you.  If you are a parent, coach, or high school student, give a listen to my interview with Dick Butkus and go to IPLAYCLEAN.org for more information. 

Oh by the way, I also ask him about my old high school teacher who claims he tackled Dick Butkus to help win a big game.
