The Big Cat Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 So he's invariably out four games then? I think we can survive without him.
John from Riverside Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I dont think people realize just how big a part of our defense this guy is.....Bradham COME ON

dascottbills28 Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I believe it does if its not alcohol related (ie, if its drug related). A 4 game suspension is likely
The Big Cat Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I dont think people realize just how big a part of our defense this guy is.....Bradham COME ON I certainly hadn't realized... Did he even play on Friday?
Doc Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 No, if this is his first violation, he enters the first stage of intervention, and as long as he doesn't violate while in the first stage, and as long as he completes the required treatment, etc., he is not subject to any suspension. He WILL, however, be peeing in a cup more than the average player for the next 90 days. That's what I thought.
inkman Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I dont think people realize just how big a part of our defense this guy is.....Bradham COME ON Pettine is quoted as saying Bryan Scott is getting the first team reps while Bradham was getting 2nd team reps.
Wayne Cubed Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) No, if this is his first violation, he enters the first stage of intervention, and as long as he doesn't violate while in the first stage, and as long as he completes the required treatment, etc., he is not subject to any suspension. He WILL, however, be peeing in a cup more than the average player for the next 90 days. That's if he is caught with just a positive result. He technically broke the law, so that'll fall under "Discipline for Violation of Law Related to Substance of Abuse Other than Alcohol" Which I posted on the other page...

BuffaloBob Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 So he's invariably out four games then? I think we can survive without him. The quoted part of the policy said "up to" 4 games, so I'm sure it's at the discretion of the commander, I mean commissioner.
Sumin Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Thank goodness they only caught him with majijuana. If he had marijuana in his possession, he'd be worse off In all seriousness, this sucks, but it also gives us an opportunity to see what else we have at LB. Im still not convinced that group is solid and reps for others can't hurt
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Didn't I hear he is treating glaucoma? I just don't get why there isn't better risk management when these players are looking at life long financial independence vs. being a working schmoe, unless his fallback position is four tune 500 COO, in Colorado, Washington state or the Netherlands.
Campy Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Good we need more guys with records! My concern is WTF was he doing in Tonawanda? Scoring some weed, evidently.
BuffaloBob Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 That's if he is caught with just a positive result. He technically broke the law, so that'll fall under "Discipline for Violation of Law Related to Substance of Abuse Other than Alcohol" Yeah, I read that right after I posted. You would have to respond before I could delete my post.
BuffaloATL Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 There's at least one precedent that wasn't four games (dated, but still): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8197e7f4/article/falcons-dt-babineaux-given-onegame-ban-for-marijuana-arrest
Wayne Cubed Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Yeah, I read that right after I posted. You would have to respond before I could delete my post. It'll be interesting because its only a summons and not a possession charge. Maybe a game or 2?
kasper13 Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 That's if he is caught with just a positive result. He technically broke the law, so that'll fall under "Discipline for Violation of Law Related to Substance of Abuse Other than Alcohol" That is correct. He probably already took a drug test and figured he was OK to smoke a little....while driving.....at 2am....in Tonawanda (very tough cops- the 2 speeding tickets I got in the last 25 years were both in Tonawanda- only Cheektowaga cops are worse) ....with very dark tinted windows.......and Florida plates. Regardless what people think about the marijuana laws, it was a very stupid thing for him to do and it will probably cost him 4 games. Moron.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Pettine is quoted as saying Bryan Scott is getting the first team reps while Bradham was getting 2nd team reps. What on earth about Bryan Scott makes anyone think he should be a linebacker? We have been watching him get trucked over for years upon years. I can't believe there is a coach or scheme that would change that.
