Mikey 16,550 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The NCAA will figure it out too, as soon as Saban's "get out of jail free" card, Emmert, is no longer the boss there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUfan_UAgrad 230 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 We had to constantly hear about his daddy being in jail and how he was such inspiration to Mark, guess that inspiration is gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Look at the list of names in the article. Thomas Davis has won the Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Mark freaking Sanchez got popped. This isn't an indication that he's some kind of criminal. Same as with weed, the only thing that makes him different is that he got caught. And trust me. I hate Mark Ingram.

I hate Mark Ingram. NM anyone? I think a bigger issue is that this is problematic in the NFL and they are behind the curve big time in terms of testing. That report which named so many players implicated in this issue slowly got pushed under the rug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate Mark Ingram. Mark Sanchez taking performance enhancers smacks of desperation to elongate his career (and how does one suspend someone who isn't on a team?). Davis is getting up there in age as well. The rest of them are young guys who have no excuse for cheating. You know people are going to definitely correlate Ingram getting busted for PEDs and him having his best season last year, whether the two are connected or not.

Getting up there. Year 8 as a starting-ish type RB in the NFL... not much tread left. Good point about people making that correlation on his uptick in production. But if the young guys don't have an excuse, then nobody does, and if the old guys do have an excuse, then everyone does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old guys who are doing it should probably be hanging up their cleats, but at least they can say to themselves, hey, if I don't get caught, I get another year, and if I do, then I'm just back where I was if I hadn't tried it. I also give them a bit of a pass because I imagine they are just trying to get back to what they were before they needed it, instead of trying to be more than they ever were. All of that being said, I don't condone it in any case because it is against the rules and it's not healthy for them in the long run either.

One man's opinion... Like MLB in the 90's, the NFL don't mind if they use them because it enhances the "product" on the field. It only matters when some investigator gets involved and/or it becomes public knowledge. Then it's "OH, for shame..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
