This is because we play the Pats early and Brady will be out.. SMH Goodell.

Brady will be back in week 5....You don't play New England until week 7.

Was he going to be ready to go for the season anyways?

I thought it was earlier than that.

 

Well, still! :lol2:

How many games would he have been suspended had he taken the drug test and failed?

I believe 4.

Nevermind....Just looked at it, and it would be his 2nd offense. That's 4-6 games.

Do we as fans really care if these guys smoke weed in the off-season?

 

Why should the NFL care?

I know he was suspended last year following an August 2014 arrest for DUI & possession of marijuana. He was suspended 3 games, appealed & it was reduced to 2, I think. Not sure if he's been suspended another time or not.

Marijuana isn't the only drug tested...

Say goodbye to the big contract little snoop

You hate not being at full strength, but this may help the Steelers in the long run. By all accounts, D'Angelo Williams will be healthy (we know his mouth is, at least). The Pittsburgh offense relied so heavily on Bell, that "resting" him for a couple games early may help keep him fresh when November/December rolls around.

Well maybe there's a reason for the missed test. Maybe he's not guilty. Maybe he's not an idiot
