La’el Collins suspended

[plasticman]

Of course he did. All that's left on that great line is Tyron and you know it's coming.

Mystery disease, congenital neck and back problems, suspension, what's next?

 

[reddyuta]

lost 2 starters on offense,not a great start.

 

[gimmesix]

Hopefully it’s steroids.

If you’re gonna get suspended at least do it for trying to gain a competitive advantage.

It was Viagra. And he was trying to gain a competitive advantage.

 

[buybuydandavis]

IMO that's what they should do.

McGovern at G > Ty/Knight/Steele at RT

Even with the games at RT, Martin had the highest PFF score of his career.
Let's have him stud out and make All Pro at RT.

"The NFL and Goodell hate us" because we have dumb players who think they are above the rules. Why can't a guy skip a couple of scheduled drugs tests? Why won't they let his drug reading drop some before he gets tested? Our guys aren't smart enough to quit taking drugs soon enough so when the regular drug test is scheduled. They are probably scheduled at the same time every year. Then when he misses this one and misses the makeup test they are no need to be concerned, he's just lazy. Why punish dumb lazy guys?

Unfortunately Brady was not happy with his advances

You laugh. But Viagra would be a performance enhancer for working out or physical activity. It’s a Vaso dilator and it increases blood flow to the whole body. Not just that one certain part of the body. Lol

It isn't on the banned substance list, though, but funny enough, ExtenZe is. So if you're going to enhance that performance, Viagra is the way to go if you're an NFL player.

I heard he choked on one of the pills and got a stiff neck.

The point is, missing a test is supposed to get a fine, not a suspension.

I think the eagle's fan posted the rules and the fine could be accelerated, it didn't say what it could or couldn't be accelerated too.
The point is he knew what he was doing and they are no use to cry about what the results are.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Collins has become one of the best RTs in the league. He got that big contract and he knocked it in neutral. He has been hanging around for a paycheck the last couple of years, nothing more.

Perhaps he was up until last year where he was essentially absent from the team, and as it will turn out this year miss 1/3 of the year before his next injury. I wasn't confident in him keeping healthy this year and he suffered a stinger before any meaningful game...no reason to feel anything warm about this guy moving forward

 

[Buzzbait]

L'al Collins, missed an entire season and apparently got dumber!

It would appear to be so.

 

[stiletto]

So he skipped tests and Fisher knows why he skipped? How would he know what Collins took/was suspended for?

There's two different methods of punishment in the CBA.. PED use (steroids, etc) and Illegal Drugs/Substance Abuse (whatever that may be)...In April, weed was changed to be much less restrictive/no suspensions unless people are smoking like a kilo a week. LOL

 

[stiletto]

Seems awfully decisive for something like a failed test. Either it's something way worse or there really is unfair treatment towards the Cowboys

Supposedly he had to fail or miss Five (5) tests in some form or another. Seems pretty stupid he'd do that. Probably addicted to something, maybe for pain? Narcotic?

 

[Buzzbait]

When you knew this would be the end result and decide to skip anyway. These players make millions acting like this.

That's the result of making so much money. The 1st thing that suffers is motivation. If you figure you can afford to skip out on a mandatory drug test, you're making too much money.

It's just for recovery.

 

[Xeven]

Trade Zeke for so OL.

 

[DandyDon52]

Was a union rep for 20 years Goodell would have threatened to kill me by now or at least try to have me arrested

did you know Hoffa>?

 

[Blackspider214]

Martin to RT, McGovern stays at RG?


Why do we have such stupid players

Because we have a stupid owner who enables this.
