Le'Veon Bell facing 4 game suspension

[Iggloo]

That was going to be a tough start to the season regardless for them. But yes, 2-2 sounds about right to me. They are still apparently a SB contender according to Vegas.

 

[Earl Stevens]

How can Bell be so stupid? And I thought my team had all the morons on it.

is this a rhetorical question?

 

[Wamu]

It was sarcasm. 2-2 seems more likely if were being serious

0-4 would be much better for Duh $tealer$.

 

[Earl Stevens]

is this a rhetorical question?

Yes. I just can't recall a dumber suspension than this. Just take the damn test.

 

[Superbelt]

It's not a hard 4 week stretch, and he is coming off a knee injury still.

So gives him a little more rest, and he can come in for the last 12 games a bit fresher than most backs.


/silver lining.

 

[Wamu]

Le'Veon Bell be like...

 

[Earl Stevens]

On a random note, First Take is just terrible. 4 women talking about sports. It's just like The View with all of them talking at the same time. I'd give anything to hear Skip and Stephen A. right now. Something I thought I'd never say.

Since it was a missed test, and not a failed test, it will most likely get reduced to 1-2 games. Although he probably missed it because he knew he would fail it.

Yes. I just can't recall a dumber suspension than this. Just take the damn test.

Or maybe it was a smart suspension? Just speculating here, but isn't Bell a multi-offender? Maybe him skipping the test was better than actually taking the test? Another failed drug test would be, what, 10 games?

Its not easy either.

Nah, if anything the league views non-compliance as guilty + some. I doubt they budge.

ESPN is garbage. If not for their broadcasting contracts with NFL, NBA, and MLB they would be out of business before long.

 

[Superbelt]

No, but if we go 2-2 I'll be all right.

 

[J-Rod]

Some guys just have too much talent to be making such dumb decisions.

Some guys have too little brains to be making smart decisions.

DeAngelo Williams is still decent, but I don't think he can force a defenses hand like Bell could at times which was devastating when the Steelers had Bryant to throw to. Brown, Wheaton, and Green coming in I don't think is at all bad + an unknown in Coates, but I think you're crazy if you don't think it changes how those first four teams try to defend Pittsburgh.

Bell is a game changer, and yes, teams will defend them differently w/o him, but they've shown they can win games with DWill...I don't expect that to change a ton...the kid (Toussaint) behind him can play as well....Brandon Johnson gets a good shot to make this team now.

I had them winning all 4 initially...2-2 is reasonable still...but I wouldn't be surprised at 3-1 or 1-3.

Guy's a turd. Cut his ass.

New England will pick him up for a song.....

 

[Iggloo]

They were making fun of his rap game here in Houston on talk radio. He's a terrible rapper.
