Not a hard drug user by stretch, but if I was a millionaire living in Miami I'd be snorting coke and whatever else out of models' ass cracks on a nightly basis.

DJ should be suspended for a half at most.

I just realized your tag does nothing(or my internet is broke) but it all makes sense now!


Fox why do you insist on making 10 gata or just ignorant posts a day. Is there a quota you set up by being a Jets fan

I like post 5 of that thread lol

This is the most confusing PR ever.

Miami Dolphins Defensive End Dion Jordan Suspension Lifted for Performance Enhancing Drug Violation, Suspended Four Games by NFL for Violating the Policy on Performance-Enhancing Substances

NFL Spokesperson
Per the terms of the Policy on Performance-Enhancing Substances that took effect on Wednesday, the four-game suspension previously imposed on Dion Jordan of the Miami Dolphins has been lifted.

However, Jordan now has been suspended without pay for the next four games of the 2014 NFL season for violating the NFL's Policy and Program on Substances of Abuse. He will be eligible to return to the Dolphins' active roster on Monday, October 20 following the team’s October 19 game against the Chicago Bears.

Dion Jordan
“I am currently undergoing treatment to address my situation. I am working hard to become a better man and to make better choices in the future. I am especially looking forward to returning to the team. I also want to thank my family, Coach Philbin and the Miami Dolphins organization for their support.”

Head Coach Joe Philbin
“We were informed that Dion’s suspension for performance enhancing drugs was lifted, however, we also learned that he has been suspended four games for violating the Policy on Performance-Enhancing Substances. While we were disappointed to learn of this result, we support Dion for proactively taking steps to voluntarily seek treatment to better himself. We will continue to support and work with him as he takes advantage of all available resources during this time.”

So, was it a separate test, or did his initial test create a different punishment due to new policy?

And I offered him a beer...smh


In lighter news, I guess Jordan has a drug addiction (weed? worse?)

Same as Welker the stimulant taken was formally counted as a performance enhancing drug. The length of his ban means this is his second time testing positive for substance abuse. While this would be Welker's first time because he got no ban.

Separate test, he is now going to rehab for a drug problem.

No this is different, Jordan is going to rehab and said he's trying to quit whatever drug he's abusing.

I get that. I just am saying in both cases it is a stimulant involved. Jordan has been caught twice for substance abuse while Welker was just caught for the first time.

Good for Jordan to get help, but man, as a Dolphins fan it's brutal watching this dude spend so much dang time off of the field.

I'm sure the fans in South Florida would like the chance to not show up to the game and not see him play soon. Hopefully he gets back and comes on strong.

Wes Horton doesn't have a catchy nickname like Greg Hardy's, aka the Kraken, the player he and a platoon of others are replacing at right defensive end for the Carolina Panthers.

How about Gemini Jr.

Before he began chasing quarterbacks, Horton chased his father around the original set of "American Gladiators," a television phenomenon that ran between 1989 and 1996 featuring amateur athletes against the show's gladiators in tests of agility and strength.

Michael Horton was one of the six original gladiators. He was known as Gemini, apparently fitting because of his split personality: calm one second, aggressive the next.

The seven-month scandal that is threatening Roger Goodell's future as NFL commissioner began with an unexpected phone call in the early morning hours on a Saturday in February.

Just hours after running back Ray Rice knocked out his then-fiancée with a left hook at the Revel Hotel Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the Baltimore Ravens' director of security, Darren Sanders, reached an Atlantic City police officer by phone. While watching surveillance video -- shot from inside the elevator where Rice's punch knocked his fiancée unconscious -- the officer, who told Sanders he just happened to be a Ravens fan, described in detail to Sanders what he was seeing.

[...]

"Outside the Lines" interviewed more than 20 sources over the past 11 days -- team officials, current and former league officials, NFL Players Association representatives and associates, advisers and friends of Rice -- and found a pattern of misinformation and misdirection employed by the Ravens and the NFL since that February night.

After the Feb. 15 incident in the casino elevator, Ravens executives -- in particular owner Steve Bisciotti, president Dick Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome -- began extensive public and private campaigns pushing for leniency for Rice on several fronts: from the judicial system in Atlantic County, where Rice faced assault charges, to commissioner Goodell, who ultimately would decide the number of games Rice would be suspended from this fall, to within their own building, where some were arguing immediately after the incident that Rice should be released.

"@RyanChell87: Sources told @KVanValkenburg and @OTLonESPN that Bisciotti, Dick Cass, and Ozzie all turned down Harbaugh's request to release Rice in Feb."

I guess it's good to see there's one decent person in the Ravens organization.

Wow.

How many GM's don't listen to a Super Bowl winning coach like that?

So Harbaugh now says he wanted to release Rice despite saying publicly he fully supported him?

Ok sure. As believable as his brother saying he cares about domestic violence while looking the other way at Brooks.
 

Plinko

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Class organization there in Baltimore.
 
ESPN said:
Although the grainy video did not show what had happened behind the elevator's doors, the images horrified Ravens coach John Harbaugh, according to four sources inside and outside the organization. The Super Bowl-winning coach urged his bosses to release Rice immediately, especially if the team had evidence Rice had thrown a punch. That opinion was shared by George Kokinis, the Baltimore director of player personnel, according to a fifth source outside the organization but familiar with the team's thinking.

But Harbaugh's recommendation to cut the six-year veteran running back was quickly rejected by Ravens management: owner Bisciotti, team president Cass and GM Newsome.

The one guy who stepped up behind the scenes...fell in line publicly.

I'm not even surprised. Just disgusted. With everything about this.

So the email from the owner to Rice gets out to ESPN and suddenly you have sources basically saying Harbaugh wanted Rice released before all this shit got out

Sounds like Harbaugh is covering his own butt.
