Josh Allen’s secret playoff weapon might be Viagra

It’s going to be a tough week for Josh Allen because the Payments host the Patriots in zero diploma climate on Sunday night time, however Bart Scott has a suggestion to make it even more durable. Throughout a dialog about Allen having circulatory points when it’s chilly on Get Up (which I promise is an unintended pun), the previous Jets’ linebacker let free on just a little secret.

Scott urged that Allen pop a Viagra earlier than the sport to get his blood pumping, including a whole lot of gamers did the identical factor when he was taking part in to struggle the chilly.

I don’t know why this bothers me, however it kinda does. No, it’s not as a result of it’s harmful to take prescribed drugs with no physician’s order, particularly for one thing utterly completely different than its supposed use. As a substitute I’m left questioning what number of iconic video games, what number of legendary moments in playoff heroics I witnessed, by no means figuring out the dude making the play had an enormous laborious on.

This shouldn’t change my notion, however it does. I can’t assist it. It’s one thing I can’t unsee now. Each time I watch soccer highlights of chilly climate video games I know invariably I’m going to attempt to work out if anybody was popping a Viagra earlier than the sport.

We knew this was the case with Chad Johnson. In 2020 the previous Bengals’ receiver mentioned they he popped Viagra all through his profession. I dove into these claims to see whether or not it was a efficiency enhancing drug (on the sector) and located it to be inconclusive. Nonetheless, within the wake of Johnson’s declare the NFL have been fast to come back out and say Viagra was not on the league’s record of banned substances.

So, I suppose if John Allen needs to pop a capsule earlier than the sport he can — however don’t assume I received’t be on the lookout for it. Sorry, however it’s inconceivable for me NOT to search for it now.
