Kenny Vacarro Facing 4-Game Suspension

If Vaccaro screwed up, fine; but the animosity from the Goodell-led League Office toward the Saints is ridiculous and made evident with this slight...

Too bad Benson's a geriatic infant managed by a gold-digger and a sniveling CPA; we really need leadership from the owner on several fronts - mostly we need a strong owner to take the Commissioner to task...

Team should have been informed before a public announcement...

All teams should be treated the same; but obviously "some (teams) are more equal than others..."

Adderall is an amphetamine based drug. Amphetamines are known performance enhancers. This particular amphetamine has activity that increases brain activity around one block of thoughts - hyperfocusing - which is good for people who have a hard time keeping their focus on tasks at hand. In this way, it acts as a double performance enhancer.

It is a very dangerous drug. Like any amphetamine, it disrupts endocrine balances and causes dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain to fluctuate greatly. It also has high potential for addiction.

Unfortunately, performance benefits on focus and memory are not sustainable or permanent. It is a short term solution to behavioral problems and is overused because of misinformation and "underground" non-clinically verified anecdotal "successes".

I agree with everyone who has said above

STUPID.

He was playing well for the Saints...........time for a random drug test!!!

Edit: I was that skinny little wired up little kid who would regularly get up and run around the class room and then sit back down breathless or be doing head stands in the back of the room. I was constantly in trouble and at the time we just got our butt whooped in the principals office daily........then again at home. On the flip side that high energy has translated very nicely to my rugby game. So there's that.

My twin and I were evaluated numerous times as young children by outside psychologists brought in by the school system when the counselors failed. My parents told the teachers to take depressants because their children weren't. I was in my mid thirties when my mother called and told me she saw on TV what was wrong with me. I had a case of extreme hyperactive ADHD! I started taking Ritalin and my life fell into focus immediately. Anyway, Adderall sucks and I don't like the way it makes me feel. So I stay away from it.

Still, people who aren't ADHD take it and get revved up......not just focused. Therein lines the problem.
Rant over.

Doesn't Adderall also mask steroid use which is why the league bans it?

This makes perfect sense as the administrators are not supposed to alert the league unless a 'B' sample comes back positive. Obviously Rapoport's "source" was not a league source. The guy is a scumball.

Why does that clown even have a job? Seriously, National Enquirer hacks are more reliable than this idiot, yet he still has a job with a "prominent" site.

He makes a living on gossip and rumors, send him over to TMZ.
