To play the conspiracy nut:

If we get deep in the playoffs, expect to see KS suspended for a game, for conduct detrimental to the game (or some other blatantly vague charge).


kidding, but only slightly

This is bullspit! Black actually played decent at RT during the Browns game. I guess we know why.

Yeah Im sure he already knew he was going to be suspended so he loaded the wagon one more time for the road!!!ol

Most importantly, Kory Lichtensteigers wife said 2nd string RT Jordan Black would ''never'' take steroids or PEDs because he is ''too great of a guy to do that''...so much relevance

Maybe im wrong but if i remember from the CG suspension they test for amphetamines not specifically what type just amphetamines. So whether its cocaine or steroids or adderall they dont really know or atleast they dont say. Maybe there are alot of players taking adderall - but it is also more socially accepted than cocaine or steroids so i might say i was taking adderall too.....
Edit: if its a matter of clearing it with the league ( i mean adderall) why would you not do so - i mean how many times are we going to believe that they didnt know adderall was banned? Dozen or so players all failed because of it - because they all forgot? Id be very curious as to how many of them actually failed for some other less acceptable form of amphetamine. Seems like a scapegoat drug to me.
Edit two: you need a prescription but also an exemption from the league to use it. How hard can that be?

It's scary to think anyone could be worse than Tyler P. Zone blocking lineman should be quick, agile, excellent in space. He is the opposite.

Compton is said to move very well, so maybe he'll make rookie mistakes but have really good plays too.

This is about prescription medication prescribed to me by my doctor and is NOT a steroid.

It doesnt matter if its prescribed by a doctor. Unless players apply for, and receive an exemption from the league in advance, they cannot take prescription medications which contain drugs on the banned substance list. This is in the CBA negotiated by the NFLPA. If you want to say **** somebody, say it to Black for being stupid or the union for agreeing to this arrangement.

The banned substance list is there for a reason. If certain prescription medications weren't on the list, or players could take performance enhancing drugs as long as they had a doctors note, then every player would find a doctor to prescribe them mediciation. It would defeat the entire purpose of banning PEDs.

If a player has a condition where they truly need a medicine on the list, they can go through the process to get an exemption. Most dont go through the process because they dont truly need the medication and alternatives are available. They take the drugs for the enhancing effects, not their true purpose. However, if a player decides for his health, he needs to be on a banned medication and he cant get an exemption, then he should find another line of work.

should have just used the pump instead of the pills

Appeal it like the 2 Seahawks did and play Sunday.
