Strange rumor about S. Merriman
 
Now I am hesitant to put this out there due to the source but it did come from a doctor. I met a guy out Sunday nite from SD and he said he is a doctor and works out at the same gym as Merriman. His claim is that there is no knee injury, that it is a smokescreen to cover him for his suspension for 4 games(steroids). I told him that he should be in the program and that it would be public which he stated the league doesnt want the PR.....Read it, laugh, discount it, delete the post, whatever. I just wanted to put it out there so that if he misses games at the beginning of the season.....my source has credence. If not, I am the same fool I was this morning. :eek:

that suspension was 2 years ago and the 4 doctors who recommended surgery would argue that it's a smokescreen.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I have a very strong feeling that if he was to break NFL substance abuse policy again, it would be a lot more than just 4 games for repeat offense. (Travis Henry ring a bell). This rumor has to be false. Can't go believing everything some strangers tell you.

IIRC, the first offense is at most one game, second is four, third is an entire season.

How does a fake injury cover him? You think the NFL wouldn't disclose his punishment if he was out anyway with an injury? Doubtful....

You probably should have been a little more hesitant to put this out. First, one person's ramble does not qualify as a "rumor." Second, a smokescreen? By who, the entire Chargers organization? Because Im pretty sure SM wouldnt take himself out of games for feelings of guilt. Maybe the league is doing the smokescreen to cover a single player. :rolleyes: Third,....jeez, I cant. This is just the lamest thread ever.
