Bart Scott reveals the secret to playing in ridiculously cold weather is … Viagra?

What?

A warning from the outset: I am the farthest thing from a medical professional, so I have no idea if this works.

But apparently, former NFL linebacker and ESPN/radio personality Bart Scott says that for playing in bitterly cold weather, taking a certain pill will help with circulation.

On Thursday’s edition of Get Up! that featured discussions of the cold weather coming to Buffalo for Saturday’s Bills matchup against the New England Patriots, Scott jumped in and said a lot of NFL players in his day took Viagra before freezing games and it would help with circulation … to the feet.

… OK! Was this really a thing? Is it still a thing? Hmm.
