Kevin Wilson Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 If it was a player, people would be complaining it was steep for a first offense. When is the last time someone got six games for a first offense that was only convicted of a misdemeanor? I think people just enjoy complaining about Goodell. I don't even like the guy and people are making me defend him... you are all horrible people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even like the guy and people are making me defend him... you are all horrible people. Six games and half a million is pretty significant, but the thing that kills me about Goodell is that it seems like every punishment he gives out is made up on the spot without much thought. There seems to be no identifiable reason for the lengths of any suspension. There should be some sort of system in place to make these decision less controversial. There just doesn't seem like there is any rhyme or reason for any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I will give ya that, there isn't a ton of consistency, except for what is specifically spelled out in the CBA. My favorite is when he suspended Roethlisberger just for being creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 6 games and half a mil for the fucking owner of the team. Wow. What a punishment... I'm sure Irsay will be heartbroke while he watches those 6 games from his yacht, blowing another half a mil on hookers and coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The Four-Letter says Sam is going to Dallas for a physical. Quoting DVDVR Alumni now Bill Barnwell @billbarnwell · 1h Dallas is a much, much, much better on-field fit for Michael Sam than St. Louis. Little in front of him and a great DL coach.

dogwelder Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 ESPN's reporting that Wes Welker's suspended for 4 games for amphetamines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wes Welker gets 4 games off for PED use. Haha, fuck you Welker. Between this and Sam getting picked up, it's been a great day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Erotic Terrorist Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The real hilarious part of that story is how Welker "popped a Molly" and cut it with amphetamines and that he did this when he was at the Kentucky Derby, which now explains his strange behavior at Churchill Downs.

Of course, he's denying it. http://deadspin.com/wes-welker-denies-molly-report-1629985119 "I would NEVER knowingly take a substance to gain a competitive advantage in any way. Anyone who has ever played a down with me, lifted a weight with me, even eaten a meal with me, knows that I focus purely on what I put in my body and on the hard work I put in year round to perform at the highest levels year-in and year-out. "I want any youth football players and all sports fans to know, there are NO shortcuts to success, and nothing but hard work and studying, leads to success." Oh shut up.

E.J. Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Can't they just call it "Ecstasy" or "MDMA" or whatever the formal name for it is. If a player got suspended for marijuana you wouldn't see headlines reading "Player suspended for smoking ganja". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X is MDMA in pill or tablet form while Molly is either a powder or a grainulated substance. Molly's physical form leads to rapid absorbtion into the blood stream and it is usually chemically purer than X. My boss will be pleased to see that I actually paid attention during the annual mandatory DoD drug abuse prevention training seminar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Now for my delusional Bills prediction of the year(I have to live up to my gimmick). Finish between 7-10 wins, E.J. throws for 2500-3000 yards, and Sammy catches between 900-1100 yards, 6-9 Tds, ROY. I am well aware how I whistling past the graveyard with this, but what the hell.

You can't have your heart broken unless you hope first right? My prediction for Sammy is he ends up playing in 12 or fewer games and puts up about 750 yards. I hope I'm wrong. That's the dude I wanted Detroit to try and get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 So I'm reading Deadspin's WYTS for the Lions and I TOTALLY forgot Jim Caldwell was hired as the Lions HC. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA EDIT: There's just Caldwell staring off into space, like he's trying to summon a really deep thought that he can't quite capture. He'd be an awesome coach for, like, a river. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
