Default Kevin Faulk officially suspended 1 game, fined [merged]

Just heard Kevin Faulk was suspended one game and fined two paychecks for violating the league's Substance Abuse Policy. He'll be eligible to return to the team Week 2 versus the Jets.

I'll edit with a link as soon as I find it.


If he's going to miss a game, it may as well be against KC.

It's an offense to any football fan that Pacrat Jones will be playing next week and K. Faulk will not. The Doofus never ceases to amaze.

How is it goodell at fault when he broke the league's substance abuse policy? Thats not a rule open for interpretation penalty wise.

I agree but the policy is wrong. You can run around punching women in the face but smoking weed gets you suspended. That's some pretty poor prioritizing. I don't really blame Goodell in this situation though.

In all fairness, Faulk's suspension is consistent with other penalties levied by the facist commissioner.

It does blow my mind that Faulk and that nutbag Brandon Marshall are getting essentially equal punishment, given that Marshall made the papers virtually every other week this offseason.

I agree with that sentiment. Pacman Jones should not be back in the league, even my own Justin Miller didnt see a second of suspension and he punched a woman in the face.

Mods - Deus and I posted at the same time; can you please merge?


On a side note, this does mean that one player gets to stay on the roster for an additional week, which could be beneficial in stashing away a player to the PS that would have otherwise been picked up by another team after today's cuts.
