Is it wrong to say "Good?"

I remember him from Hard Knocks. He didn't seem ok to me mentally.

dbol would be worthless to these guys. hgh makes a ton of sense for recovering from injury, but i doubt testing for that is very good, and league should turn a blind eye to it anyways. the only way its enhancing them is recovery, and theres no way the nfl wants these guys recovering at the rate that normal human beings do

The effects of any AAS on muscle and connective tissue repair is well-documented:

This is my reaction, too.  You have to be pretty dumb to get caught, given the way the system works.

Do they ever say what the suspected PED was in these stories? Or is there a privacy/HIPAA concern involved?

[davefan66]

Pretty sure PED’s and other substances run throughout the league.  Not surprising.  
 

Edit: forgot about Hollywood Brown.  Maybe they should have kept Kirk?

Just not a great compound for the nfl. You can only run it a few weeks. There's a lot of water that cones with it. I guess they could run it during their off season strength program, but even then they're running it side by side with test, and test is doing 90% of the work. Strength gains and size from it are pretty short lived as well.

Are we sure he was pumping himself up with testosterone and not estrogen?

Great. The one good player left in the NFC.

DHop is coming off his first injury-riddled season as he nears 30. Seems a pretty easy choice.

 

Take something and recover from an injury stronger and 3 months faster in exchange for a 6 game suspension. Or don’t take anything, have a worse recovery, and return even later than the suspension return date.

The NFL's record for drug testing, is pretty abysmal.

 

If they adopted the type of testing that athletics has, teams would probably need rosters twice the size to deal with all of the suspensions.

 

The 'punishments' are also pretty laughable. For Hopkins to get a 6 game suspension, has he not been already 'captured' previously?

 

 

[Old Man]

That hail Mary didn't even matter,  win or lose that game, same AFC seed

[TheyCallMeAndy]

That Hollywood trade makes more sense

I was wondering if he got nailed before too. I thought first strike was 4 games?

I think both their careers peeked on that play.

Nah, that would be power llifting

Odds that the Chiefs and Pats will be scheduled in their first 6 games when the schedule drops?

[RobbRiddick]

Kyler is next to get caught...
