I wonder if the NFL “randomly” picks Bryant for a drug test twice a month. Just like major league baseball targets hispanic, especially dominican, players for “random” drug tests. 

Could you show me some proof where MLB targets hispanic players specifically for drug tests? Or are you just spewing random nonsense?

I generally don't like steelers fans but their organization knows what the fug they are doing. Giving away Martavis should have been a red flag to any team trying to trade for him. 

Raiders going to Raider

That’s pretty dumb if it sounds like he’s going to be suspended. If Josh Gordon is his comparison, you’d still give up a 2nd or 3rd for 600 yards and 1TD in the last 4 years? Bersin has 400 yards and 1TD the last 4 years.

Giving up a 2nd/3rd after these current rumors would be a terrible move.

I can’t believe you wasted your time giving an actual response, I was joking. 

I would send over a 7th for a bag full of those gorilla masks though, this fan base needs to appear tougher. Smarts isn’t this fan base thing so we’ll have to go with the next best

There is no doubt that PEDs and steroids are rampant in the baseball culture of the Dominican Republic as well as other Hispanic countries. Read up on what Tampa outfielder Carlos Gomez had to say about the topic recently. 

Also, i absolutely believe in baseball and football, older players and players coming off injury are targeted for “random” drug tests.

Assets? I recall one person saying our 1st since we’d pick a WR anyway and most said 2nd/3rd. So glad we didn’t do anything. 

agreed.  a first round pick is an important asset

    • I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
    • overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.     
    • Im really curious to see how the defense is going to look once its playing with some leads.
