You're asking a lot of a guy that came off surgery and is 30 years old...but I hope you're right.

Gosh, I hope nothing happened to Statman. If he were here, he would have known that!

I wish, born 10/17/1977, so by my precise calculations that would make Marcus 29 turning 30 on or about 10/17/2007

for some odd reason is thought he was talking about Vick. my bad.

I hope he bounces back from this, he's one of the leaders on this team and he brings a lot of energy and positivity to us. It's sad to hear that when this happens to a person like him, he becomes the exact opposite of what he usually is.

If it wasn't a big deal last year then why should it be this year? I'm quite sure that if anything showed we would have heard about it. As someone already mentioned diluted could mean anything. Maybe he ate a pooppy seed bagel that morning with a lot of water to wash it down.

I really hope that the silver lining of all this is that Marcus plays with a chip on his shoulder. He seems a bit pissed that the skins didn't do anything to contest his situation, but I can understand, given all the hype against roids at present, why they kept quiet. I really hope that no permanent harm was done to their relationship--I very much doubt there will be any trouble, due to Marcus's character and personality.

So, in a league full of felons and druggies, they come down on one of the few genuinely nice and honest guys out there? Pretty weak. But that's the nature of blind testing.

I just hope he plays without a (bone) chip on his hip. Really, I think this must have such a non-issue shortly afterwards that nothing could have been made from it. He didn't lose any respect, money or playing time as a result. I give him a pass on this one due to his hard-work and quiet demeanor off the field.

so there is a lot of water in an athletes sample. Well that would seem to make sense. HE never tested positive even after lots of testing. So it seems marcus was clean but drank a lot of water the day before the test. So what, he is an athlete and probably drank a lot of water while training.

I could care less about this. If MW can take something to help him get on the field than do it.

[GusFrerotte]

Why even bother with this story? He didn't even get to step 2? Did they let this come out now to try and justify his subpar season( I don't think it was so bad) last year? Who cares!!!!! Last season is over and done with. It is a slow time for info I guess.

[GTripp0012]

I think something like this could ruin a guys season, but lets not jump to conclusions and assume that this explains everything. There are a lot of reasons as to why MWs play fell last year, including the question to whether it actually did at all. Maybe we are just associating him with the rest of the defense.

Still, something to keep ones eye on. Good find Schneed.

Not a big deal, Shawn Merriman was actually busted and suspended and you've hardly heard about the incident since.

Man, the media and everyone else squashed that story pretty well. It was upsetting to see him go to the Pro Bowl even though he got suspended for 4 games.
