I watched this when it aired. I was 21 and about to start using roids. I heard his message loud and clear and because of Lyle I never ended up using them. I always envied the huge muscle guys in Golds Gym Northridge California, but deep down I was glad and still glad I never used them . I'm 47 and very healthy and fit. Had I used steroids, I may not be writing this statement! RIP Mr Alzedo
My uncle took me to meet Lyle and the other Raiders at training camp in Oxnard Ca back in the 80s. Lyle was such a nice man. I will not forget the kindness he showed to me and everyone around him.
Sad , I think the brain cancer was more likely from severe head trauma , hard hits and concussions. He died way to young. I'm glad I got to watch Lyle play . He was one of my favorite players as a kid. Rip Lyle we will always remember how hard you played the game and with such emotion.
Everything about this era was much more real than what we have today.. The player and the man that he was, the actual reporter doing an honest interview without being censored by the news outlets or the NFL themselves... We lived in a much better place back then.
Takes a lot of guts to put down your pride and admit when you've done something wrong. Lyle you were a great person, player and actor. Been almost 30 years since you've past and you're character, feelings and true personality is one of a Kind. RIP
I took no joy in watching this video. 27 years later I still feel bad for him. He made a mistake, but damn, what a awful price to pay. I wish some how he could have been given a second chance. RIP Lyle. :(

He should be remembered for who he was and what he did on the field rather than steroids. He was a tough dude carrying a lot of heartache.
He used to workout at a gym where i was a member. What a sweet guy...he would talk to you for 20 minutes. Always treated everyone the same....

When journalist were professionals
My dad was a crew member of the film DESTROYER. He said Lyle was easy going and always joking and having a great time with the cast and crew.
He was only 43 years old when he died.
Every doctor and oncologist say that steroids had nothing to do with his cancer.
rest in peace Lyle Alzado.
Breaks my heart. A man who was greatly misunderstood. I feel you, Lyle.

Became a role model at the end
one of the realest interviews ever. I still remember watching this in my teens and it resonates today still
I loved this guy - 100% HEART... roids or not...
This took a lot of courage. So sad.
RIP Mr Alzado. You are a legend on and off the field!!!!
