Either way, that's why I refuse to take a negative look at anything that comes out via the media until ALL facts are known. By that time LAZY fans have already made a decision based upon earlier speculations they they continue to take as fact. |

And where did you come up with three Saints being suspended for PED use in the past three years? To begin with, Snead was suspended for a DUI. It had nothing to do with PED's. Try including at least something resembling facts in your idiotic claims. |

Re: Mark Ingram Suspended Four Games
You angry about something? Your comments on my post about the release of Fleener had the same condescending aggressive tone. I was correct then, and I’m correct now with the exception of being 2/3 correct on the PED suspension number.
It’s almost as though you are trying to provoke something. Have a great day. |

He was wrong, but it wasn't anything you can ever get away with to "enhance performance" on the field.
You did admit you were wrong about Snead. The jury is still out on what triggered the Ingram violation. And, you are still misrepresenting the whole deal with the performance pool being trumped up by Goodell to appear to be something vile. Yes, that does raise my ire a bit. |

Re: Mark Ingram Suspended Four Games
The league doesn’t disclose what triggered the positive test. Players say it was Adderall when often times it’s steroids (which is rumored to be the case with Vaccaro.)

Re: Mark Ingram Suspended Four Games
Well, y'all know where I stand on Ingram - that said, ALL men should be afforded due process - even if Herr Goodell believes he's omnipotent...
Let the appeal play out and then let Mark Ingram's advisers prepare the press release and let MI himself explain the circumstances... |

Oh, and to your point, once "due process" was allowed to complete in the performance pool case all players were cleared of any wrong doing by Paul Tagliabue at which time Vilma dropped his suit against the league. |
