In case you were feeling too good about your Pittsburgh Steelers right now, I have a news story for you that purports to take them down a notch—frankly, with the rest of the league. A new lawsuit has been filed by former players that accuse every team in the league of irresponsibly dispensing painkillers to them with little regard for their wellbeing over the course of their playing careers.
The Steelers are featured prominently in the lawsuit, with four former players among the named plaintiffs, perhaps most notably 70s-era safety Glen Edwards and wide receiver Jeff Graham, who played for Pittsburgh in the early 90s.
