Le'Veon Bell facing 4 game suspension

[redseat]

it's LeGarrette Blount's fault

Naw I blame Melania Trump!


Skipping a test is a positive imo, unless there was a good reason why he missed it (and not because he wasn't clean)

Where are they getting 4 game suspension, didn't he do 4 games already for the same thing ?
Second offense should be 10 games, one of our guys just got it for a 2nd pop....
That will hurt them but DW already showed he's no slouch if he can stay on the field....

No, not the same thing.

I know, but this is his second offense in 1 yr isn't it ?

 

[Oldschool739]

No, not the same thing.

I read up a little on it....He got a 3 games suspension last yr on a drug violation and got it reduced to 2 games...
Now he missed a drug test which is considered a drug violation also, so 2 drug violations in 1 yr is supposed to be 10 games according to the penalties other players got for the same violations....
He is supposed to appeal it, so we'll see what happens....

[MISKO]

Maybe the penalty is different for a failed test and not showing up

It's not, failing to show up counts as a failed test

The NFL should just get rid of their rule book. Everything in it seems to be a guide line anyway. All hail Czar Roger

I'm not an advocate for drugs of any kind, but I think these policy's the NFL has on them have crossed the line of invasion of privacy....If they have it in their system on game day, suspend and fine them, but in the off season and on their own time is their biz'nes in my opinion....
They're grown men whether they act like it or no, you can't treat a man like a child and expect it to go smoothly...
They need to adjust those rules quite a bit or the league quality of players is gonna suffer, because I would venture to say that over 70% of young athletes in all sports and in general, smoke weed and take drugs.....
So does anyone think this is working to benefit the league, I mean we ask them to be Gladiators on the field and Billy Graham off the field....

How can this be?? Didn't this gentleman graduate from Michigan State?

Should've taken notes from Denard Robinson.

 

[Southieinnc]

Since I only "bold printed" on my Eagles on the Steelers schedule that just makes me a dick right?

I think being an Eagles fan will qualifyfy's you......

 

[Maximus Rex]

Dick!

I love division rivalries. How else could you get an Eagles fan fighting with a Redskins fan over a thread about how fucking stupid Bell is?

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

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

You clearly don't understand how the legal system works in this country....

 

[redseat]

That is does. Then again IF there was a good reason for him to miss it (ie the league never told him about it, which i wouldn't be surprised of that either) then he shouldn't be suspended
