Thomas Davis Has Been Suspended For Four Games After Testing Positive For A Banned Substance.

this man has been through numerous ACL tears of the same knee, and has never tested positive before. If you take a supplement, and the manufacturer suddenly changes up the formula even just a little, it can cause a negative test to become positive. Sucks, and he should be aware, considering it's part of his job requirements to know what's being put in his body, but can anyone honestly say they read the label of their daily vitamin every single time they buy it?

 

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, since he's had a clean track record for this stuff before, and it seems he's truly repentant for not being more careful. There has been plenty of time in the past to cheat, and even if older, I doubt he'd doing anything to jeopardize his legacy with the team like this. No one who refers to himself in the third person would - too much (well-earned) ego to tarnish his image.

we have shaq thompson and run mostly nickel defense

 

thomas davis was going to be phased out anyway this year

Hey doofus

That was suppose to happen last year and it didn't. Shaq Thompson is another one of Gettlemans reject picks.

The NFL is a joke. No wonder fans are bailing out.  I don’t love the game 25% as much as I once did. 

yeah, looking at the list of banned substances is a joke. Just taking any over the counter supplement outside of creatine for performance that actually works will get u suspended.

Holy poo, do we actually agree on something?

Well at least we can operate with some basic common sense here. It's a ridiculous notion. Especially after how a well known Jerry Richardson favorite like Steve Smith was so unceremoniously jettisoned like he was a jag.

Personally I’m convinced gettleman was gotten rid of because of JR’s drama. Like him or not it rings pretty true gettleman stood up for a few players that JR wanted gone for social/racial issues.

TD’s contract had nothing to do with it.

Honestly, I don't think this has a huge impact on us on the field. It sounded like everyone including TD was aware that he would be playing a decreased role this coming season as Shaq's role increased. 

Really disappointed this has happened. I understand aging players trying to hang on and skirting the rules to try to do it. It happened to CJ last year. But, TD is a former NFL Man of the Year. Players know they're responsible for what they put in their bodies, period. No exceptions. The NFL provides a list of approved supplements that have been tested and proven to be free of banned substances. If a player deviates from that list then that's on them.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
