And according to Adam Schefter, he flunked the test originally in September, which means his whole season is moot to me. Give it to the Byrd!
What confused me about the report is if he was positive in September, how did he play with his appeal not coming til February.
I dont get the 6 month wait without appeal or suspension, unless I was misreading the context and the appeal took place in september and lasted until february to be completed, and the news is just now getting out?

There are a lot of people who don't mention Al Gore on days like today either! I am unwilling to give that man a pass.
Or that people mention him at all on a single day, month or even year.... Kind of one of those things that's a long term trend isn't it?
That said, man is a schmuck and a hypocrit.

The superdome has only 2 outdoor sections. They gate off two of the areas outside of the entry gates at opposite ends. I imagine its a pain for those in the middle on the upper levels -- quite the trek.
Inside the stadium is 100% smokefree.

Bump.
Where is Vincent???
haha the burning questions. its far to random to keep him around just for fun.
-
I've also heard that he went to loomis with video evidence originally.
That would make this pretty cut and dry.

You are an angry man. Take it easy.
This "story" is in its infancy right now. And it sounds absurd to me. That's my opinion. Payton has already flatly denied the allegations. And the allegations are unfounded so far. Geez.
Not saying he is making this up for sure, but anybody who threatens to blackmail their former employer is sick. Trying to extort money and then "going public" with it because they won't agree to you excessive monetary demands is wrong. Can't you see how disgusting that is?
the flip side could be he discovered the theft, told his employer and they decided it was easier to replace him then Sean. He in the process of being dismissed sought out a severence of sorts, and when denied he filed a suit.
There are a lot of possible stories at this point. I wouldn't rule out the idea of Sean popping some pills. He has a rep for being a very heavy drinker already.

Funny, because there's no other overpaid RB on the roster.
I'm not surprised he wants that. But he'll have to wait another year because of the uncapped year. The Titans don't want to give him that large a signing bonus, and I don't even know if they are allowed to do that, in lieu of a small base salary. But who is Johnson's agent? Hopefully (for them) not Eugene Parker.
Herein lies the problem --highest paid would put at say 15-20 mill per year (i expect 20 with Brady, manning and potentially brees getting new deals). If it's a 5 year deal total money approaches 100 mil. If base salaries are 500k, 600k, 700k due to the 30% rule.... That leaves a 90 mill signing bonus.

I imagine there are other fans here.... has anyone seen his speaking tours before? Thinking about going later this week and was curious to see what others thought

Doesn't matter. She's underaged and drunk. He's got a gang of thugs keeping her friends away while PigBen has his way with her in a restroom. What the Hell don't you get about a guy like that? He's got a have a posse riding shotgun while he preys on drunk underage girls? Great guy. He's a pig, the world knows it now and people have already made up their mind about him regardless if there is enough "evidence" to convict him in court.
Thats what is frustrating about Ben supporters from what ive found -- they are arguing over whether he can be convicted of rape, not whether hes a respectable man. Hes not, theres no arguing, even if she sent mixed signals, he should not have gone there.
I know my definition of rape is not textbook for the legal definition, but I can say if they did have sex, that a 28(?) year old 6-5, 250lbs man, with a drunk 20 year old girl, having bodyguards keep her friends away, in the back bathroom of a club is certainly bordering on my definition.... even if she didnt explicitly say no. It doesnt help that a fairly compelling history exists supporting this story (and im not talking about the lawsuit).
I guess maybe the subject hits too close to home for some guys....

What solid "D" are you talking about??? Dominant Run Game? We had neither last year and with no QB or O-line teams again...like last year, and the year before oh and the year before that will stack the box and we will drown. I'm sorry but I do not see Carrington and Troupe doing all that much this year. It's going to take another draft or two and 4 years before we compete realistically. 2014 is when we break the playoff drought.
so what your saying is with largely the same problems as the last 10 years, this will be the year we end up with 1 win?

the real thing id want to do is slide wood to center.

I think this crew has the ability to really dictate and ram it down the other teams throat.

You don't draft a returner 9th overall. Ask the Miami Dolphins. Returners can be found late in the draft. If Spiller is Reggie Bush, he was a reach. If he was Chris Johnson, he's a great pick.
if reggie bush was used better, hed be a lot more impressive. i enjoy watching sean paytons offense, but those games when reggie gets 4 touches and ones a double reverse are not good. when he commits to a balanced attack, and puts the ball in reggies hands moving up the field instead of sideways, look out.

The Bills just drafted a kick returner at number 9 just like the Dolphins a few years ago and are probably destined to trade him for a 5th in a few years like Ginn. To draft a guy that will only play 3rd down and return kicks at 9 is arrogant and stupid for a trainwreck of a franchise.
flexibility in the return game is always good. parrish will hopefully remember how to return a kick, mckelvin will be back healthy, freddie and mcgee wont have any of the added wear and tear. should mckelvin, spiller, or anyone breakout on offense/defense there are a ton of top flight returners on this team to keep the return game on par, and the our stars rested
thats not worth the 9 pick, but i think there will be a lot more to his game then returner
-
i think they should trade UP with St Louis .....the draft value chart says it would cost us a 4th rounder.
grab Clausen
i like claussen but from my understanding, the bills offense next year is going to require a mobile qb not just a pocket passer. i also hate that while mccoy can move, he takes sacks too often. this would be no good behind this line without a new starter added.
-
lets hope he is better than Bush cuz imo a Bush clone isn't worth the 9th pick.
athletically -- yes a bush clone would be (minus that lingering knee problem he has had). the problem is maximizing the use of a player like that. sean payton is a great offensive mind, but has made many mistakes along the the way too. there were games that sean would only get him the ball 2-3 times, and they would be terrible double reverses. not a recipe for consistent success. what i can say is there is a reason that at 8-9 million for next year the front office is not sending him out the door to re-sign other players. As someone that has seen pretty much every snap bush has taken -- if he can stay healthy and you can get him the ball on a wheel route, crossing pattern etc, he is electric in a way you wouldnt believe. if we can add 10-15 tds a season to this offense that would be HUGE.
i think reggie is just on the brink of having a huge breakout year. like i said, if that knee stays healthy and you get him real touches -- look for him to put up more games like he did against arizona. yes the saints have a more talented team but look to even a chris johnson in that titans offense -- kerry collins? vince young? who are the wide receivers? it wasnt the juggernaut the saints were by any means

I have to agree. If this is YOUR guy, he is your guy because he represents the best value you can get with that pick. Any prospective deal could offer you more value. Give the other teams the full 10 minutes to see if someone gets desperate and makes a mistake and offers you too much. Then pick Spiller with one minute left. I don't know why giving the other teams 8 more minutes to make a desperate mistake and then picking Spiller isn't a better idea.
I actually really like the pick, and the way some of the other guys fell makes me feel that my lower impression of these guys might have been warranted (Bulaga, I'm talking about you). Let's see how these guys do tomorrow and if they can make some tactical decisions and not just talent decisions.
if they thought spiller represented a top 2-3 player in the draft, they werent going to get that value via draft no matter what. take it as an opportunity to send a message to both spiller and lynch. sometimes there is more value in acting decisively then there is waiting for something thats not real.

why when it was clear the Chargers wanted to trade up for a back
Nix said he was the guy they wanted and I have no problem with that
exactly -- if they didnt have a back rated on the same level, you take him. if you have 3-4 close keep trading back til you cant anymore. this is how the pats made a living. yes they do trade back, but when they know they next pick is a big drop they will run to the mic also.
-
watch reggie against the cards. if we can get that, this was no luxury pick. if we get ginn or parrish thats would be a terrible pick. comparing him to two players that never developed like ginn or parrish isnt a great reference hopefully.
-
Mel Kiper. He's so good. He liked Claussen better than Stafford.
What a joke.
lets wait a few years and see -- i dunno if this slide will be a gift or a curse. itll either humble him, or make him a headcase. my impression is humble, give time to grow into a leadership role, and a chance to keep learning what that means

look for a trade on sat for campbell or thigpen
2-- saffold?
3-- dline
4/5 qb trade

thats kind of what i was seeing. it should have been either say you want to appeal, or sit the next week.
If the appeal took two months (like it did), he should have been sitting by Novemeber, and ineligible for the probowl, and the DROY. This isnt so much about byrd for me, as it is the principle of letting things like this slide an ENTIRE season.
Favre should just do steroids on the field next year, if he decides its his last -- just in between series on the sidelines.... He can appeal the suspension come february.......
(i know, i know, not fair to drag someone elses name into that - just the first imminent retiree i thought of)
