Vince Redd's suspension is over...
 
Think he might still be on the Pats radar? I can't say I have any idea WHY he was suspended...

OLB Vince Redd, who has been suspended four games by the NFL, flunked a drug test as a result of taking Sudafed, his agent, Joe Linta, told Scout.com.

"If you check the ingredients of Sudafed, it has Ephedra in it," Linta explained. "Vince said he took Sudafed around the time of a league administered test, so it was an honest mistake. I don't think he realized what was in Sudafed, which really is a cold medicine. He looks forward to continuing his career this season."

Ephedra, which is generally taken for weight loss, is a banned supplement by the NFL.

Thanks, Sebman. I don't know if it's dumber that the NFL thinks Sudafed could somehow enhance performance (guess they can't prve why Ephedra was in his system, though) or that Vince didn't know what he could and couldn't take.

I met Vince this spring. He's a cool cat, big guy and I think he'll play somewhere.

The doctor put me on some prescription cold medicine last week (first time ever done this in my life) and I swear, I have only been sleeping one or two hours a night with no really bad effects yet. Also sent my blood pressure higher.

I think these things give the body a megajolt of adrenaline.

He'll definitely play somewhere. That somewhere will be in the new X-Men movie where Redd will assume the role of Juggernaut.

The fact that he was released so early in training camp probably means he ain't coming back to the Patriots practice squad opening or not...if he comes back it would be because they are desperate and have had multiple injuries but not sooner...
