Sometimes I wonder if you truly are incapable of reasonable thinking or are simply pigheaded.

The reason why this can get by is that the supplement business is not controlled by the FDA.

So, basically, a player can call the official number and ask if a product was okay to take and he would be told "yes". Then, if he came up with a trace of a banned substance from a tainted product he would be in violation of the PED policy. You can fight it "vigorously" as a player, but you are going to lose.

That is the reason why as soon as any of the Swedish teams I played for signed a US player we instructed them to stop taking any US produced supplements an to not bring any over here. The risk was just too big.

Looks like we will be throwing the ball with Brees.

We have several other RB's and Ingram still hasn't totally exhausted all avenues of appeal ... only those through the league. Once the written decision comes out this Wednesday his legal team could choose to demand an outside arbiter hear the case.

At :35 starts with a key statement by Payton.

Really no need to force extra carries to Kamara. We have an adequate amount of guys in camp to evaluate. Someone will step up in MI's absence.

He was getting more touches end of the season with Ingram which he should have. He will still get most of the work.
