Canadian Bills Fan Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 For missing drug test http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17124034/pittsburgh-steelers-rb-leveon-bell-facing-four-game-ban-missed-drug-test http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/07/22/report-leveon-bell-faces-four-game-suspension-currently-appealing/ CBF
BarleyNY Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 This would be the missed drug test he swore he didn't miss? I thought so.
26CornerBlitz Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 No Bryant or Bell to start the season will hurt the Stillers significantly. Big Ben must be somewhere crying.
aristocrat Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 No Bryant or Bell to start the season will hurt the Stillers significantly. Big Ben must be somewhere crying. bryant is gone for the year. So he missed the drug test one day. if he took it the next day could he have a better chance at the appeal or is it pretty cut and dry that if you miss it one day you're suspended?
YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Heard rumblings about this from a steelers source about a month ago, and Bell shot it down. Fans railed on him for reporting it. That source looks pretty good now if it's true.
Captain Hindsight Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 I assume they play the Patriots the first 4 weeks?
YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 I assume they play the Patriots the first 4 weeks?actually no. NFL really screwed up. @rapsheet For the past several weeks, the #Steelers had known Le'Veon Bell likely wouldn't be on the field when the season began. He missed drug tests
CommonCents Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Steelers are really screwing themselves, they have the talent too compete for a few SB's before Ben diminishes but they can't stay on the field.
YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Steelers are really screwing themselves, they have the talent too compete for a few SB's before Ben diminishes but they can't stay on the field.do you think their defense is good enough? Secondary especially has been bad. Edited July 22, 2016 by YoloinOhio
CommonCents Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 do you think their defense is good enough? Secondary especially has been bad. I like their LB's, they drafted Artie Burns for CB help - I don't love that pick, would have taken Alexander there. The secondary is still a question mark. The offense could take them places but for one reason or another they are always missing pieces. That has to be disappointing for the organization.

Maury Ballstein Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Damn. Leveon Bell is so good. He loves him some marijuana though. Time to legalize it. It sure isn't slowing him down when he's on the field.
FireChan Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Damn. Leveon Bell is so good. He loves him some marijuana though. Time to legalize it. It sure isn't slowing him down when he's on the field. It's just slowing down his brain.

I wonder, if the Steelers trade him to the Broncos...and pot is legal in Colorado......would he then have grounds to challenge the NFL rule about being a pothead/stoner? I guess we can leave that to a current member of the Bronco's roster..........

I guess we can leave that to a current member of the Bronco's roster..........doesnt work that way. They have to abide by NFL rules no matter where they live or which team they play for.
plenzmd1 Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Gregg Bell? you mean Tinker????? doesnt work that way. They have to abide by NFL rules no matter where they live or which team they play for. Anderw Brandt had good tweet today. https://twitter.com/AndrewBrandt/status/756483922322534401 How funny these tests can start on 4/20. No tests in season...just get through the offseason and you all good.

I guess we can leave that to a current member of the Bronco's roster.......... negative. Pot is still illegal under federal law. Employers have no obligation to permit its use. It's been litigated already. But good thought. What would PIT get in return though from Denver. ?
