Mike In Illinois Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 If this is true, I can't believe that they kept it quiet until now! My conspiracy theory: Letting it go unreported an extra day or two may have meant a few extra ticket sales for the regular season. Just my unsubstantiated guess.
Just in Atlanta Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 And if he were busted, I'm pretty sure a high profile like Merriman would have been news, and that he would not have been playing in the preseason game.
Silvercrw Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Here comes WGR now saying there hearing rumors about this crap story. He said he can't say anything yet.
ndirish1978 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Well Adam Shefter is reporting something now... http://twitter.com/#!/AdamSchefter just saw this on twitter... I got got by this for the 2nd time in 2 weeks
Silvercrw Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 LOL, They just said they heard about it last week but nothing substantial on it.
CarolinaBillsFan Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 My conspiracy theory: Letting it go unreported an extra day or two may have meant a few extra ticket sales for the regular season. Just my unsubstantiated guess. I could see that. Would be a lot of tickets on stub hub!
KollegeStudnet Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Testing was needed? also it was only, what, 9 plays? now the question becomes - testing positive vs possessing in punishment assuming they were street legal products. if they were illegal products it may become a much bigger issue testing for HGH only takes 24-48 hours for results...even if it wasn't in his urine or blood stream....the test of the pills gets back to you in less than 14 days, which reports have it at July 31st/August 1st as the latest date.
Punch Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 My family is at camp and I have them looking for merriman now. He's there, but he's not in pads, according to SalSports.
Silvercrw Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I can def say that if this did happen it would of been news within the bills organization. If who I know did not hear anything about it then it was either keeping it hush hush or its not true at all. No one panic. Its just a rumor.
kabnt2005 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 He's there, but he's not in pads, according to SalSports. He's not in pads because as reported by the Bills yesterday I believe, he tweaked his hamstring and they wanted to make sure he was fine.
Chilly Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 My family is at camp and I have them looking for merriman now. Can you have them do some investigative work and search the facilities for steroids?
Mike In Illinois Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Maybe Jasper was caught smuggling some authentic Canadian Bacon across the border? I honestly hope this Merriman rumor is untrue, simply because I want to believe the guy is back to form in a legitimate way (not cheating). Most of us agree, if not all of us, that a healthy Merriman is critical to the defense's success (and the team's, to a degree) in 2011.
NoSaint Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 testing for HGH only takes 24-48 hours for results...even if it wasn't in his urine or blood stream....the test of the pills gets back to you in less than 14 days, which reports have it at July 31st/August 1st as the latest date. well, for nfl issues he wasnt even testable until last week roughly, no? and again, is it a suspendable offense to possess PEDs, or just to use them (ie positive blood test)?
DC Tom Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Here comes WGR now saying there hearing rumors about this crap story. He said he can't say anything yet. WGR's hearing rumors probably because someone called to ask them who was reading this message board, where we got it from Moran... So any minute now look for Moran to tweet confirmation of his story from WGR...
Reed83HOF Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 A big deal regarding nothing.... What a Moron
DC Tom Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Can you have them do some investigative work and search the facilities for steroids? Won't have the results for at least 3 weeks though. Probably more like three and a half.
Chilly Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) well, for nfl issues he wasnt even testable until last week roughly, no? and again, is it a suspendable offense to possess PEDs, or just to use them (ie positive blood test)? Anythings suspendable under the league conduct policy if Lord Roger wants to. Edited August 18, 2011 by BlueFire
Mike In Illinois Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 A big deal regarding nothing.... What a Moran Fixed.

So any minute now look for Moran to tweet confirmation of his story from WGR... Yep, thats how this "news machine" works. One person makes something up, another news source says they are hearing rumors, then #1 uses #2's report to confirm... A big deal regarding nothing.... What a Moron Moran Fixed, same thing though.
