Orlando Scandrick suspended first four games ***for Molly** Post #246

Clarence Hill @clarencehilljr
It was a street drug. Not a supplement. Scandrick has been fighting ban since April. Lost appeal

No wonder he's playing/practicing his butt off.

I'm so fed up with this franchise it's not even funny.

No you're not.

Why you cant smoke weed at mcdonalds why should they be able too?

Really? These dudes don't work by the same rules we do. We are talking about millionaires that play a game.

Wait. Our defense is taking performance enhancing drugs?

Things are even worse than we thought.

First dumb move was to go to Mexico to party...must have made some Cartel, such as Zeta, salivate. Dumb to dumber, was taking drugs. My guess, cocaine. Third mistake, living to talk about what now is a bad habit...and no way around just declaring oneself an abuser of drugs and getting straight. AAA is his second step, first is getting serious about being an addict. And he is addicted to the hype around it, make no mistake.

So I guess they knew of appeal and likely suspension in April and waited until pick 254 to address corner. Seems about right for this team

Yes....they should have started to reach for corner...because....well just because!

Seems smart.

We still have Carr. There is still Claiborne.

There are teams that would kill for those two starters.

Am I doing this right, homers?

You tell all, the steps are yours...unless you renig on what came from your mouth.

 

[TheDude]

We're going to compensate by sending waves of cornerbacks at them.

This thread didn't disappoint with one liners

The defense the first month of the season is likely to be just as bad as it was for the last two months of last season. No talent on the field at all.

Doesnt mean they should be able to do what they want!

Wouldn't he have had to already test positive and be in the drug program for this positive to result in 4 games?

Punishment suspended on appeal...but guilt already was administered legitimately.

McMahon is reporting it was PEDs and not recreational.

That is a bit different and between all the supplements and medications these guys take and all the stuff coming and going from the banned list and the market, it's not so cut and dry.

Would it be insensitive to ask why this kind of stuff can't happen to the guys on defense who suck instead?

We'll have to see where the story, once broken, settles to...and the waggle on abused substance is sickening around the media.

What we are receiving in thread so far, is plain old fashioned gossip.

So pretty much everyone short of Lee and Church high on weed?

Scandrick was found to be in violation of the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. A league source said Scandrick took a supplement that included a substance outlawed by the NFL.

I don't like McMahon but that is credible from an ESPN reporter.

He probably went to Cabo or Cancun where hundreds of higher profile athletes and personalities party every day without incident. It's not like he went to Juarez or Detroit.

Considering the schedule I can see the season being over by week six.
