    I aint cancelling nothing. I already did that 5 or so years ago because cause service representative jerked me around beyond all belief and I had it with them and their stupid "royalty fees" that they blew smoke up my backside trying to explain.

    I was going to resubscribe literally today but when the league and the players become a bunch soap opera reality stars it just makes me want to keep my hard earned dollars for spending elsewhere.

    Sudafed is now in most places behind the counter I believe due to it's use in making Meth.

    This is not good news. But we have the horses to get the job done for 4 games.

    And we still have Dri Archer...

    DANG! This crap reminds me of my cousin saying "it's not that I don't want to work, it's just that I can't pass these friggin tests. I asked him where the hell are you applying? (Keep in mind he didn't even graduate high school)... He says "it's the piss tests bro I can't pass em"

    Hahahaha the world is not in short supply of idiots.

    Him and Bell are now on the leagues radar... Greatpicks with tons of talent, another episode or 2 away from being wasted picks and irrelevant and really screwing up the one good side of the ball we got.

    One tweet said after appeal it could get reduced to two games. Not sure why it would get reduced but that's what the tweet said.

    It was his 2nd failed in three months. That's why it is a 4 game suspension.

    Never heard about the first? Something about being told no just doesn't resonate with today's folk

    I don't hate to say it. The dude is absolutely a complete moronic idiot.

    Football players are high paid professionals. Do they not realize that millions of dollars could disappear from their life in a blink of an eye? Smoke the stuff in the off season. I really don't care. But when the season starts and you have to start peeing in cups, stay away from the stuff. Is it really that hard? Where is the self discipline? Some of these kids are phenomenal athletes but have the IQ of a preschooler. And their foolish behavior hurts the WHOLE team and the fans...not just themselves. Maybe the NFL needs its own version of Scared Straight with Debo himself barking at these idiots until they pee their pants.

    Again, where is the self-discipline? I am sick and tired of the young and dumb.

    Sigh...

    At least now the drafting of Sammie Coates makes more sense. We get boneheads like this once in a while.... Tim Worley, Eric Green, Santonio. They have the world at their feet but decide to screw it up.

    3 failed tests in 12 or so months. I think we would be lucky if this guy sees the field again since he will be banned for a year (actually 10 games, I think) on the next one. Too bad.

    I did a little research:

    Bryant was suspended at Clemson for a 'throat-slashing' celebration incident and missed a bowl game for failing to meet academic requirements. The immaturity signs were there.

    That's true. He was an idiot while there at times but he also was a kid who tried alot. I know he worked hard on his studies with tudors. He was a product in high school of if u can play ball u pass. He was always polite and done some things in community

    I can not express strongly enough how absolutely sick I am of these stupid idiots. Get your heads out of your selfish butts and man up and play football. Good grief. Whether they think it's "no big deal" or not is irrelevant. It's against the rules and when you sign that contract you are saying that you will abide by the rules. These entitled babies that want to have their cake and eat it too need to go the way of the dinosaur and quick. The rules apply to everybody. This guy is such a moron that he watches his teammate get busted last year and then turns around and does the same thing this year. The ignorance that goes in to this is astounding. As Tomlin would say, "No excuses! No explanations!" I'm about to lose my religion on these dunces and Tomlin and Colbert need to get called to the carpet on this crap too. Get a hold of your people and let them know who's boss. Enough is enough of this crap. If you wanna be a Steeler then go play football but if you wanna be a loser then just go back to the ghetto and throw your life away for your own self indulgence. I have no mercy or compassion for people that self inflict their wounds. Get a grip and grow up and be a man.

    From that tweet, they already knew it was coming. I don't feel sorry for these guys. They know when the tests are and still get caught. The military deals with random tests for much less than they make and somehow these kids manage to not smoke and do their jobs! Yes, there are some that either do it and squeak by or get caught, but this isn't for the amount of money these guys are pissing away.

    *Edit* He's also putting everything he's done for charity on the line. This is a remarkable opportunity for him to use his position to help people.

    Coates seems far ahead of him in that area.

    I remember the Army tests well. There was always at least one knucklehead that thought somehow he wouldn't get caught.
