I give zero fucks about athletes off the football field (aside from insult fodder), as long as they aren't cutting open kids ballsacks. I just do not care about Aaron Rodgers' life, and I will not care about Aaron Rodgers life no matter how much Wilde tries to make me.

Probably falls under HIPPA, no?

only if it really is a prescribed medication, which I don't believe the NFL disallows them adderall if they have reason to take it.

The national prevalence of ADHD in adults is about 4 percent, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. The number of exemptions granted by the NFL is confidential, but MLB granted 116 exemptions in the 2012 season, meaning about 9 percent of baseball had the exemption.


The report reminded readers that many NFL players reportedly use Adderall as a cover-up for other drugs. That's because the NFL drug policy doesn't allow the league to say which drug caused a player to fail a test.


Although he's not able to discuss specific cases, Adolpho Birch, NFL senior vice president of labor law and policy, said the league saw an uptick in positive amphetamine tests during the 2012 season. The test doesn't distinguish between Adderall and other amphetamines. The NFL would like to be able to publicly announce the causes of failed tests but hasn't gained that concession from the players association.


"We're hopeful that we will be able to get to a point that we are able to do that, because we do feel that it has an educational and awareness effect," Birch said.

Correct, it wouldn't be possible without the devil failing to win against Goober and co.

Reading 'Where Men Win Glory', and just got to the part of Pat Tillman's 'Decision' document, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. =(

The Adderall thing always cracks me up because athletes know almost everything they put in their body, or have people that track it for them. Adderall isn't like some unknown banned thing.
