PFT Rumor: Merriman is noticeably smaller than he was during the season

Is PFT a credible source?
Everybody jumped on PFT saturday for the scathing Michael Irvin article,yet this story today all of the sudden is legit because it satisfies the bias of some.

Comical.

When reporting rumors about potential Cowboys HC candidates, the credibility of the source matters.

When they're talking about random BS like this, who cares?

Comical ? Not really...
I'll watch the Pro Bowl and take a look for myself.
Also, it's a FACT that you lose weight once you get off the sauce. Don't believe me research for yourself...

same thing happened to Jason Giambi.... he went from bulk to thin and majorly cut.... but very lean... no bulk
 
Hard to say:

How do we know he wasn't (isn't) taking HGH?

Its probably more difficult finding a player that doesn't take some type of steroid, or HG drug. If the NFL cracks down on this stuff you'll see a noticeable smaller NFL.

Pretty obvious from the side by side that he has lost weight.

The guy was juicing, plain and simple. If he was innocent, why didnt he try an appeal his suspension?

Funny how all the "Ware is a bust, should have drafted Merriman" threads vanished when he got caught juicing.:laugh2:

Why anyone thinks this is a surprise wasn't paying attention. Merriman was listed at 245 at Maryland and then shows up 3 months later at the combine at 272. That's not a normal weight gain, not even close. I've assumed right along BP must have heard rumors about him juicing and that's what scared him off. Anyone that believes Merriman's denials IMO is naive in the extreme.

Wow, I don't think I ever heard anything about that.... that's amazing, he must have been very dedicated and worked hard to put on all that muscle....... As hard as Barry Bonds worked to putt on his muscle in his old age. They must have the same "trainer" there in california.

Seriously though, I had never heard anything about that until now... if that's true then I guess our choice of Ware makes even more sense.

CHEATERS WON'T PROSPER

Well, it looks like the NFL is going to adopt the "Shawne Merriman" rule.

Per ESPN's Chris Mortensen, any players who test positive for performance-enhancing substances will be prevented from appearing in the Pro Bowl in the same season in which the positive test occurs.

A reader tells us that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made a similar disclosure during a Sunday appearance on Face the Nation.

The rule is expected to be implemented in the 2007 season.

We think it's a great idea, as anyone who has been coming to this site already knows.

The issue came to a head this year because Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman made the Pro Bowl despite missing four games after being suspended for violation of the policy against steroids and related substances. Though some writers have explained that this is the same kind of off-field stuff that isn't supposed to be considered when voting on who'll make the Hall of Fame, the reality is that this is one area in which what is done off of the field (i.e., the consumption of steroids) has a direct effect on what happens between the lines.

And make no mistake about it. Folks who use steroids aren't looking for a quick Popeye-style boost of energy. The idea is to speed recovery from workouts so that more workouts may occur, allowing the body to grow faster than it normally would. So if a guy has been using steroids, he'll be bigger than he fairly should be. Even if the 'roids are out of the player's system.

Coincidentally (or not), we're hearing chatter that Merriman is noticeably smaller than he was during the season. We'll all get a look at him next weekend in Hawaii (and this might prompt us to actually watch the Pro Bowl).

In all fairness to Merriman, he claims that he did not intentionally consume a banned substance, and that it was in a supposedly "clean" supplement he was taking. But Merriman to date has refused to identify the supplement, and he has admitted that he no longer has the package that supposedly contained the spiked material.

Someone should have told Shawne Winnie V & Dynabol tabs were not supplements?
 
Look on the bright side when regular season starts he will have shrunk down to Mini-Me.

Merriman is a joke, I've never see the loser cover anyone! He's a one dimensional player....

And why exactly would you want a sack specialist covering anybody.
He may be one dimensional,but that one dimension is pretty effective.
Don't drink the cool aid.
 
Don't drink the cool aid that this guy can be depended on either. He is pretty much one dimensional, and by the end of the and especially in the playoffs his impact got less and less.
