So?

He got more opportunities than Tony on short yardage goalline Carries. He isn’t nearly as good as pollard overall.

Stats are close.

Thats why they gave him a contract.

Dude has a 98+ yd TD run.

One of my two blood pressure medications is Hydrochlorothiazide. Trust me. I know exactly what it is and what it does. :thumbup: How the league addresses a player's physician-approved medication is an entirely different situation, for which policies can help address proactively in most cases.

Is that med on the banned list for the NFL. There use to be a list you could find of all the banned substances and some meds on it seemed silly.

Something about this story does not add up. If it was prescribed by a doctor and he was taking it for years, why the suspension now? If he needs the medication for a heart condition then how can he play football? Is it a preventative or a treatment for an actual condition? How does he clear his physical with a heart condition? If he is taking it for years how can the NFL not know about it in advance? Is there an alternative medication he can take? If not then what is he supposed to do? Did his doctor tell him the prescription drug was okay to take?

Did he stop taking the medication now that he has been suspended?

Yeah it was to help with diabetes.

Funnily enough, at the same time Rodney Harrison got suspended for 1 less game for HGH. Harrison was still an active player.

Thank you sir. I think my wife takes that. She has RA and the steroids she takes makes her retain a lot of fluid and water.

You may be joking but I wanted other members to be aware it would be a HIPAA violation if someone or some agency other than the patient discloses the protected health information publicly. The patient can legally shout everything contained within their medical record from the nearest mountaintop. :)

Takes a supplement while playing with the Bucs and Chiefs. Zero problems. Takes the same supplement and is suspended as soon as he comes to Dallas. Sounds like business as usual for Goodell.

This is the post of the week.

I would like to get into the octagon with Roger. I despise the guy.

but if hes been taking it since TB and KC why would he get suspended for taking it in Dallas?

there are league wide policies in reference to PEDs not team by team policies

thats an easy appeal and win....and soon as i win my appeal i'd call the league a bunch of goof balls on air and take the fine
