    If you avoid over the counter crap that promises the moon, it can probably be done safely by non-NFL trainers.

    But I'd be lying if I said that fear hadn't crossed my mind.
    I wonder how much a company pays to have their product on the approved list? Does the NFL still have the Supplement Hotline? Sure hope Horton doesn't endorse StarCaps.

    Yes, the NFL has a list of approved supplements.

    I remember when Ras and I were going back and forth during the Starcaps debate, I found a list published by the NFL.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    The StarCaps thing was wacky. IIRC, it was ok and players had been taking it to make weight for a while. Formula got changed, but the new ingredient did not appear on the label. NFL knew about this, but didn't send out a warning. It then proceeded to collect a list of players who were using it (Deuce McAllister was one) and suspend them all! Cool sting operation guys!
