Twitter: In case you wondering, Quinn is the Cowboy's 17th suspension since 2014

It's not Booger or Garrett's fault, it's these damned rules!!!!!!!!!

you are correct. hopefully it can be overturned. but that's been proven hard to do.

According to the radio this morning...the suspension was already appealed, the appeal heard by the Arbitrator and two games was the result.

Right Kind of Guys...

I wonder what Garret would do if someone just waltzed by and knocked that stupid headset of his noggin. He'd have flashbacks to Jr. High when he was having books slapped out of his hand and being stuffed into lockers. "Awe come on guys... cut it out!"

Is that good for #1 in the league?

Gotta be best at something.

So the one thing Garret's actually good at (managing personnel) he really sucks at. This again begs the question, Just what does Garret do?

He doesn't spend his free time monitoring their free time and checking their medicine cabinets. They're grown men and know the rules.

This is worse than the Zeke decision....
Complete trash to suspend someone for trace elements of a non-PED.
The NFLPA simply must force this to be handled by a non-partisan arbiter in the next round of discussions.

Stand. Pace. Take up space. Make pretend.

I'm trying to come up with new ones. It ain't going to well.

FYI...all arbitrators are selected from a list agreed to by the league and the NFLPA.

Sure. But if you believe what his agent noted ... something that seems pretty reasonable as he tested positive for a masking agent that no one uses anymore because it is freaking tested for ... this really isn't the same sort of deal.

This is def not a known masking agent in modern times.
Simply pounding water would work better.

But that is the problem the NFL has. They are a decade PLUS behind in everything.

I'm sure the majority of the league takes PEDs in some form or fashion and they catch these nonsense cases like Quinns instead of actual designer steroids, SARMS or other PEDs.

The league hires the people who "prosecute" the cases.

This isn't independant of the NFL in any way.

It's crystal clear that a HUGE change better be coming.

At this point, the overwhelming amount of proof something needs done is over the top ridiculous.

The question is, how are far the owners prepared to back peddle? Because it's about to get heavy. The players motivation level has to be maxed out.

And what I'd suggest is simply paying someone like USADA to handle all of this.

Honestly, I don't know what to say .........lol

For all time:
Cowboys - 26

not seeing very many even come close. cleveland had 17.

How does that 17 compare to the rest of the league?

i pulled a list from wiki and put it in a spreadsheet. cowboys had 26 total in their history. i don't want to filter team by team but cleveland was next with around 18 or so. Commanders around 20. they bled into other columns on the copy over so i have to manually add some up quickly.

I'm wondering if the league and player's union will move forward with revising testing guidelines much like they did when a couple of guys got popped for Molly which is obviously not a PED.

Feel like at this point it'll sit til they renegotiate the CBA.
As part of that hopefully they go to USADA for all testing and some other entity for discipline.
This is a case where imho outsourcing works best.

If nothing else it gives the fans some 3rd party to hate versus Goodell and the NFL.

Just think this, if Zeke got suspended, he would not hold out until next year

You can thank Jerrah for that, always shopping for a discount for guys with known character issues. McClain and Gregory had 3 each in 2016. Almost ever single one was for drugs or PED’s.

He’s been better lately though lol

Part and parcel of being a dysfunctional organization.

Thank you!
Look at Jerry's record since Jimmy Johnson retired/got fired.
I dont count the 1995 SB, it had nothing to do with Jerry or Switzer. Please do not make any argument.
If Jerry was the CEO of any other business, other than the Cowboys which are a cash cow, he would have been fired.

Quinn's suspension is extremely unfair. Should have been a false positive and just ignored.
