League suspends Shaun Smith

Posted by Mike Florio on September 10, 2009 12:25 PM ET

Well, now we have a better understanding of why the Browns cut defensive tackle Shaun Smith.

And why the Lions recently cut him, too.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Smith has been suspended four games for violating the league's policy regarding anabolic steroids and related substances.

Smith will be able to serve the suspension while unsigned.

He has been a controversial figure over the past year or so, culminating in the reported cold-cocking of Browns quarterback Brady Quinn last year. But that didn't keep teams from pursuing him; per Schefter, six teams inquired about Smith's services after he was cut by the Lions.

Smith's story -- and he's likely sticking to it -- is that he took a diuretic containing a banned substance. As we've pointed out many times in the past, the confidentiality of the league's steroids policy allows guys to make their positive tests sound as innocuous as possible, regardless of the specific shade of green they assume when becoming angry.

      I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.

      This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.
