Bullcrap. There isn't a head coach in the NFL that monitors what players know about drug policies. That is so low level. But, yes, it is the player's job to know, but I am sure many, if not most, are only concerned with maximizing doing what they can do on the field to remain on the roster. These are kids. I have sons older.

You are a coach in the NFL? How the F do you know? Man you pretend to know a lot about things you have absolutely no idea about.

If the rules are that confusing and difficult to follow it is the coaches job to make sure his players are not getting suspended and are on the field. Low energy needs to do a better job making sure his players are informed so they can be on the field like they're supposed to.

Oh wait, NM, he is suspended because it is the Adderall's fault.

Ask any college kid knows what adderall is and he knew. Sorry you've been out of the loop but adderall and it's affects are well known by a huge number of people. He knew, you can defend your boy all you want( and you will) but he knew what he took and got his a$$ caught.

And my thing Halloween is this, if he really didn't know then whose fault is that? I would find it extremely hard to believe that when the NFL sends down its list of banned substances they don't share that with the players and make sure they understand.

So either it is his fault or the fault of low energy. There really is no in-between

I can't see Payton knowing after the viocidin scandle and I think Payton should look down on this because of the viocidin fiasco. But Vaccarro knew that adderall was pure pharmacuitical speed and the effects it brings when taken. What he spewed out of his pie hole was PR bull acting like he was the victim.

Yes there is, he's called an agent.

Throughout the year, players are required to attend NFL information symposiums on new rules, policies et al at their team facilities...

They get mail/Fed Ex which they're required to sign acknowledging receipt...

Just like any large corporation, they also sign documents that they've been informed of company policies and procedures and understand them...

And there shouldn't be one New Orleans Saint that hasn't learned from their teammates hard life lessons in the past...

But you inadvertently hit it right on the head with two words - young and kids...

Not quite inadvertent. That is exactly what I was want to stress. They may have to sign receipts and documents, but that doesn't mean they actually read the mailed literature or soaked up everything in the symposiums. They haven't been around long enough to learn from the mistake of others or simply failed to learn the lesson. They have to make their own mistakes.
