Dan Naulty admitted taking steroids. Coming Clean
In 1999, when Yankee manager Joe Torre told Dan Naulty he was going to be left off the playoff roster, he got a surprising reply from his pitcher: "Thank god." Ridden with guilt, Naulty did not want to cheat anymore. He was a steroid user who would never play big league ball again. When George Mitchell's investigator called him one year ago, Naulty was more than obliged to divulge into his past steroid use.

COLD TRUTH

NFL playoff history could repeat itself in the form of a cold, frigid chill, as this weekend's Conference Championship games in Foxboro and Green Bay are expected to have well below freezing temperatures. The coldest game recorded in NFL history was the "Ice Bowl" at minus-13 degrees played at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The 1981 AFC Championship played in Cincinnati, known as the "Freezer Bowl" was minus-9 degrees. NFL teams in the present day have more comforts in the form of bench heaters and acclimatized, insulation-based clothing to help deal with extreme weather conditions. With temperatures expecting to be around zero degrees in Green Bay and as low as six degrees in Foxboro, might there be another storied, frigid playoff tale to remember? Sunday on "Outside the Lines," we take a look at how football teams deal with winter weather extremes and how these hostile conditions will affect Championship weekend.
