Re: Tanard Jackson Suspended
 

[QUOTE=NC_Skins;1075439]They clearly stated the suspension is for violating the substance abuse policy, which would denote a recreational drug. They have a PED policy as well, which has it's own guidelines/restrictions/punishments.[/QUOTE]


I believe the substance abuse policy covers a lot more than just recreational drugs.

Didn't mean for it to be dismissive. He probably knows more about it via the SS grapevine. :)

That's what I'm not understanding. If it's a PED, why isn't it under the PED list? Why put a PED under the list of substance abuse drugs? Idiotic if you ask me. Either way, I'm not sure I would have been taking any supplements if I were TJ. I simply wouldn't wanted to have risked anything.

Good question. The NFL isn't very up front about the whole policy and process.

Re: Tanard Jackson Suspended
 

It could be that once you have multiple, lengthy suspensions, that no matter if it's a recreational drug or PED, it all falls under the substance abuse policy. Isn't this his third suspension for substances? If so, maybe this is a three strikes sort of thing....the third time doesn't matter what classification? Only the NFL knows.

All I know is, Rambo better step up this season.

rambo's a bum. he never looked better than terrible all year, so i wouldn't get my hopes up there. it's going to be clark and BM, unless thomas shows he's ready.

[quote=HoustonSkinsFan;1075428]I feel badly for Tanard... Obviously he's got an addiction problem. Sad that the NFL does everything in their power to protect and support organized criminals and wife beaters, but kicks addicts to the curb. Sigh.[/quote]

'Derp its called will power derp I don't do drugs so they should have no problem doing drugs either derp'
- Said every A-Hole that doesn't understand the basics of addiction and fails to realize that they either don't have the gene or instead of doing drugs their addiction is focused elsewhere (if they're lucky its work hence the term workaholic).

And you're absolutely right about the NFL's terrible double standard. They [URL="http://youtu.be/4DE2ggufnMw?t=1m16s"]tip toe around the tulips[/URL] with wife beaters but they seem to go full bore at people who clearly need help. And the sad thing is for every Cris Carter that gets a wake up call there are plenty of other players that fall deeper into drugs and alcohol when they become scorned by the league.

I will say this though even the over the counter stuff these days seems pretty intense. I took DHEA for a couple of weeks back in April and May and it took a while to notice but my personality was exponentially more aggressive than before I had started taking it.

Not to mention for the first time since High School I found myself using face cleaners like Oxy Clean in hopes of getting rid of a giant pimple on my nose that I affectionately named [URL="http://youtu.be/Q9zqnAdkiR0?t=25s"]Chronos (who I've been obcessed with since God Of War 2)[/URL]. Something else I have to stop doing as I've also named my beast of a Desktop computer Chronos.
