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.
