I am a Cal fan so I know exactly how "smart" Marshawn actually is.
If 7 Niners tested positive, I would be screaming for Harbaugh to do something. Suspend, waive, SOMETHING.
Well, the Giants didn't clear Melky after his 50 game suspension in baseball, not allowing him to play in the post-season after his suspension is up. SEA could leave them off the active roster for a period of time. You may not want to hear that because that means your starting CBs both end up not dressing, but this is what I'm talking about.
As an athlete that had to take the most thorough piss test known to man on a regular basis during my athletic career, it is imperative that the players KNOW what they are taking and its even more imperative that the organization make sure that the players know that this shit ain't tolerated. If the Olympic ban was two weeks instead of two years, do you think that the ban would deter ANYONE?
Lol to be completely honest with you the odds of Bruce Irvin only taking Adderall are quite slim. Chances are he was taking something else and didn't think he'd get tested this early.
I was under the impression most NFL drug tests occur during the season and off-season testing is rare (if it occurs at all). That is likely when he was probably on around 20-25 IU's of legit HGH a day. Tren Ace around 800mg a week. Test suspension. Orals, lots of them. The HGH is what does it though, he can probably afford the good stuff.
I bet you good money that at least 15-20 players on every NFL roster are on HGH.

I don't doubt that at all. There is a reason why the NFLPA has fought HGH testing all this time. What is natural about 300-lb dudes running 4.4 40's? I DO believe that Browner and Sherman took Adderall because, hey, what DB doesn't want to have increased hand-eye coordination, more focus, and more energy? Bottom line is that this league doesn't take drug testing seriously enough to truly discourage the players from testing their luck (no pun intended).
It IS an organizational problem when almost 1 of every 6 active players on your team is testing positive on piss tests. You are right, it is the individual that is accountable initially, as they are grown ass men. But when it happens at the rate it has happened in SEA since 2011, then yeah, your organization has been soft on allowing these guys to continue doing what they are doing without recourse. Given Pete's history of cheating at USC, it is fun for Niner fans to poke the bear because in this situation, it IS valid. JS should be held accountable too. If 7 Niners tested positive, I would be screaming for Harbaugh to do something. Suspend, waive, SOMETHING.
I was a swimmer at National and International competitions, college scholarship as well. Every event I made finals in International swim meets or at US Nationals, I had to take a piss test, FINA driven. If I ever tested positive, I was banned from the sport for two years. There are swimmers with asthma that are not allowed to take their inhalers because of the steroids in them and WE ALL KNOW IT. We HAD to know it. So although I was not a football player, I know my way around a drug test and everything it takes to KNOW what is going into your body and the rules governing your respective sport.
Pro football players make millions and if they believe a steroid or adderall or HGH can give them enough edge to make the difference between being good and making a modest salary and being great and cashing in on massive multi-million dollar contracts you don't see where they would say screw the team and take that risk? Really? The team will trade them or cut them in a heart beat and they aren't there for them when they are barely able to walk after their career.
Let me say this again in as clear of language as I can: The players are in it for the money. Get it?
Given that the risk/reward is VASTLY different for pro football than college swimming I'm assuming we can just go ahead and ignore that right.
The 49ers have a retarded quarterback and running back. If they ever make a trek out of Rainier School those 2 dumbass' wouldn't be allowed to leave.
Show me where I defended their actions. All I did is point out the players are making decisions based on their potential earnings and take risks that can end up hurting the team because of it. Where in there did I suggest it was right? Where did I suggest the sport is better off having drugs?You are right, so because the stakes are higher for football players, why have drug tests to begin with, right? Because it doesn't matter if they're dirty, right? Because as long as they perform on Sundays, it doesn't really matter, right?
Again, where did I defend their actions? Did you not read where I said we have been yelling about it as loud as we can? You are trying to project things into others that aren't there. What does that say about you?Maybe it IS my history with an Olympic sport that values the idea of CLEAN play more then a couch QB who defends it. Just because it isn't a rule now doesn't mean it can't be later. Look at what happened to baseball. It is not clean now, but the current drug testing policy definitely deterred quite a bit after fans revolted and forced both the owners and players' hands on the issue.
Where did I wave a white flag? Do you value reading skills at all?As far as ignoring the risk/reward in pro football, that is just stupid. Do you want a clean sport or not? Regardless of risk, if you want a clean sport, you add teeth to the CBA....real teeth. If you don't and you want to see players continue to rule the roost, then you keep it status quo. It sounds as if you are pretty much waving a white flag and don't really care about drug use in Pro sports. That's fine, but I tend to be a bit more critical of those that choose to cheat.
Yet Marshawn passed with flying colors, right? Bullshit. Glass houses Wazz.
Want talk some smack? Bring it here. No major idiots however.
:boxing:
NOOOOOOO!!!!
You mean I can be an idiot but not a major idiot!!
I DON'T THINK I CAN DO THAT!!!!!!!!
BAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
