Re: Kenny Vacarro Facing 4-Game Suspension

Did any of you read this story that WhoDat!656 posted? Vacarro isn't facing any suspension at this point. The NFL violated the confidentiality clauses of the testing policy. There is not supposed to be ANY reporting of violations until after both samples have been tested AND an appeal has been heard AND denied. None of this has happened. We also do not know when this sample was taken. It could have been at any period, even pre-season.

Once again, if you take the time and read the article it mentions that the NFLPA has been waiting for the opportunity to challenge the league office over the policy for some time. It says that this may be the perfect opportunity. That said, even IF Vacarro's second sample also fails it could be months before it ever reaches the point of a suspension.

This is exactly why the confidentiality clause is in place. People are condemning the player when he has not even been convicted.

Pump your brakes, people. Chill out.

Also, consider the initial source of the report ... Ian Rapoport. This clown has swung and missed more than any so-called insider ever.

Hopefully he doesn't get suspended(if he does) until after week 11. We really don't need him against LA, Detroit, TB maybe. But TB has not been able to beat us for four Qs unless Brees is banged up and they're not as good at home.

Re: Kenny Vacarro Facing 4-Game Suspension

Seriously, how selfish he is to do something like that.

We are slowly fighting back, D is trending upwards and we have won 4 of the last 5 games, then Vaccaro goes and does something like this and screws us over.

Seriously, think about the team, your viewed as a leader on defense, this could demoralise them now.

If this isn't prescribed then I would agree ...selfish and dumb. ALL players know that this is banned.

To be continued.

Re: Kenny Vacarro Facing 4-Game Suspension

If he has taken them then what an idiot! That shows no thought at all and screws the team over. It doesn't matter if you think that it is wrong to ban a substance or not, if the NFL ban apples YOU CANNOT TAKE THEM. What the hell is wrong with players that do this. If the second test comes back clear please ignore the previous message.

Re: Kenny Vacarro Facing 4-Game Suspension

Kinda makes some of the leadership posturing of his lately a little hollow.
