Obviously, he has now had a couple of hours to get w/ his agents in order to try and fabricate some lame excuse and deny responsibility.

Man...I wished we had drafted him over Ware!! :rolleyes:

Gotta try and protect the coin that your hoping to get going forward.

A drug abuser is a drug abuser.

It doesn't matter whether the drug is Cocaine, Weed, Heroin or if the person is doing Steroids.

This started because Bob Dole said he'd still take Merriman on the Cowboys, even knowing that he used steroids.

Which is no different than anyone here who would take Irvin on the Cowboys, even though he used cocaine.

Both are bad, and both end in players getting suspended, but at least Merriman is smart enough to do something that helps him and his team.

Why does Bob Dole talk about himself in third person?

You sound like alot of athletes, Vick says, Michael Vick does this and that, lol.

Not you, whoever it was that said Bob Dole was wrong for saying he'd still take Merriman on the team even after he's been busted.



Bob Dole's reply was simply that it isn't wrong to want Merriman even after he's been busted, when nobody here would not take Michael Irvin on the Cowboys even though he was repeatedly busted with illegal substances.

Irvin didn't need Cocaine to make him a better player. Merriman obviously needs roids to enhance his play.

End of story.

Actually what you said was you'd take a roiding Merriman over Ware...

But keep trying to ammend it, it's not like we can see what you actually said in the thread.

If there was an equally talented and driven alternative who didn't do drugs, who in their right mind wouldn't have taken him over Irvin?

This is a total strawman.

Do all of you think that the NFL, who I believe was always the toughest testers out of all sports have stepped it up to avoid a baseball like scandal?

Or do you believe this is the norm and there are always this many busted but it has just gotten more attention because of baseball scandals???

Prediction: Bob Dole called Merriman, and told him to tell Mort that he got the 'roids from Ware.

It may well have been strengthened, but mostly its bigger names getting nailed. It doesn't matter much if the 3rd string linebacker on a team gets hit for performance enhancers. It especially becomes news when multiple people on one team get nailed for things.

Bob Dole has not gone back on that. Bob Dole will take the player that Merriman has been thus far in his career over Ware - whether it is still that way with Merriman off roids remains to be seen.

Irvin didn't need Cocaine to make him a better player. Merriman obviously needs roids to enhance his play.

That doesn't mean Merriman isn't a great player without it.

I love how the "Merriman over Ware" agenda has now been so defeated, its proponents are now resorting to include Michael Irvin into their flimsy arguments.

it's a little too late for that, his career thus far has been tainted, and for some time to come
