Fix it? No.

Regulate it? Yes.

PEDS are beneficial in many sports related Injuries.

You know why the Romans didnt use Peds in their olympic training?

Simple. They didnt have them.

Romans were given garlic before Olympic events. It raises testosterone and lowers cortisol.

So yea they kinda did try to up their game with performance enhancers.

Should teams be forced to forfeit games/playoffs if one/multiple players violates the rules?

How else do you think we can fix it?

No.

 

Court of public opinion is different in the NFL.  It's the truest gladiator sport we still have in the world.  People honestly don't care if players do PEDS in the NFL. I'd use PEDs too if I was in the NFL.  The physical limits in the sport are pushed beyond what 99.999 percent of what the normal human body can take. Think about it.   Even in our SB year half of our offensive line was doing them.  Nobody brings that up anymore..  Brian Cushing.....old news....forgotten.   At most it's worthy of a day headline in the news.   

 

It's weird it's the complete opposite in baseball, and nobody brings it up in basketball.  Have you ever heard of any PED use in basketball?  It's happening though.

Browner is a huge loss for them, no wonder they signed Winfield.  And to be honest, wins should not be vacated.  Yes, PEDs are obviously going to enhance performance and it's an unfair advantage, but if you go back and start trying to rewrite history based upon the few who have been caught, you risk rewarding those who haven't been caught.  

 

However, when one team has repeat offenses over this long of a period, something needs to be looked into...

I'd like to say yes but if it were my team I'd say no. This is kind of like college football programs and recruiting. You can police it all you want but more people are doing it than you want to believe and the cheaters will always be one step ahead. When you are talking millions of dollars there will ALWAYS be people willing to take the risk. So I'm not sure what the answer is.

      D and D is the answer.

      For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By PappyMay · Posted

      The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
