I have Welker and Gordon stashed on my fantasy team so hoping for both.

This is kind of bullshit, imo. The penalty for breaking the rules should be whatever was in place at the time the rules were broken.

concur

I also concur

Welker is not going to play?

Hang on, man. Lemme do some rithmatic.






















We're still ****ed.

I just don't see how the NFL can let a bunch of suspended players back on the field after this Ray Rice fiasco.

This attitude just baffles me, except that it has to just be that none of the players are Chiefs.

Your and idiot. It is ciphering not rithmatic.

Why? It's the way the law works. If they legalize pot, they don't just open the jails and let everyone convicted for dealing pot go. I don't see why this should be different. They broke the "laws" (rules) that were in place at the time so should pay the penalty that was in place at the time. I would feel that way no matter who it was.

I understand your point, but disagree.

I think anyone serving a punishment for a "crime" that is deemed no longer criminal should have their punishment lifted.

If this were his 1st offense or even 1st suspension (as the policy doesn't suspend for 1st offense), but given this as a 3rd offense, even if very low amount on the test, I don't see a full lifting of the suspension. Best case, my guess is reduced to 8 games. Just my own opinion.

I'm also puzzled why welker's suspension is even being brought up. He didn't test positive for pot, why are we even talking about him?

Hear me out on this last one. If they are going to review all 2014 suspensions, most assume it will be under the approach of 'were we too harsh?' However, consider the very fresh Ray Rice fiasco. I could very easily see Greg Hardy getting SMACKED down hard, very very hard!! If they are going to review for possible lightening of suspensions, they should also review for increasing suspensions under the strengthened domestic violence policy.

NFL: we want to test for hgh
NFLPA: we want higher thresholds for other drugs in return and we want it retroactive

Negotiation in process

This.

This is stupid. They should encourage the use not prevent it.

This, too.
