Ben Watson is a good guy. I wish he wasn’t playing for the Patriots. I completely believe what he said.

Different world of everything really.  Most are completely disconnected from the reality that the rest of us face daily.

...if I understand correctly, it sucks that he retired and began a medicinal regimen to heal his body......unretiring and having residual effects in his system is a woefully wrong disqualifier......

So the Patriots now feature an 80 year old TE/QB combo. I get why everyone keeps picking them to win, but seriously, who thinks they can last much longer? #AARPats.

Given Shady's past, he might need a chaperone for his prom date...

Sounds like he had low T. NFL should allow tx for that. Keeps the guys "aggressive", and newsworthy in the off season unfortunately. ?

Then he should have stayed retired.   

 

Or just taken the penalty and come back?

He retired, started treatment outside Nfl rules and while retired got tested. A month later gets a call to come back and while negotiating finds out he failed said test. 

 

As guys go, Watson’s pretty standup and I tend to believe him

I think you are correct.  What I do not understand is why take the test it retired unless you were thinking of playing.

How plausible is it that a player retires and then gets tested? I stand by what I said earlier, I.e. that he probably has been juicing all along and finally got caught.

Well, the policy continues to test and considers a no show a positive. It does so to avoid exactly this type of situation being a workaround.

 

For a guy his age to end the season injured and retire, to start a treatment and then when feeling better to have the itch to play again doesn’t seem crazy to me. What part of that doesn’t seem plausible to you? 

 

 

The dudes on the NFLPA’s Executive Committee, so he knows the rule and very much that he’d still be tested this offseason. I wasn’t going to play and then I decided to play seems pretty feasible.

We play them week 4, so he should be suspended that game. Good for us, I guess. Them missing pieces is better than nothing.

What past? The man has never been arrested let alone charged with anything. Stop trolling.

The guy has missed like one game in his career. Of the big benefits of roids are the healing qualities of it. They keep you on the field

He's 38. If he was thinking of coming back, of course he was taking something.

He'll appeal. That will delay his suspension. After, Watson smashes his phone and Krafty Bob makes a few calls.
