Why is mental health patient out on leave, posting on this site under "Joker"?

Stay on topic. And don't ask questions that require answers that you wouldn't understand.

Don't you have a 18pt font to stalk?

Spock...translation please??...

You said I was a Jets fan. I called you a mental patient. I think I'm more accurate.

On topic. The topic was Spike's suspension.

18 Font. You like to use an excessively large font in your posts. It's odd, but that is what you do sometimes. Not abnormal for the abnormal.

I'm beginning to think that I'm Brady to your Suggs. You can't stop thinking about me and my posts. 18 fonts are creepy enough.

Now Rapoport is reporting its a PED? ughh. I thought he said it wasn't...

Here's to hoping that he will no longer be our problem and the team cuts him altogether before next week. The Spikes experiment was a good one, but it's over. Eye gouging at Florida, sex video on the internet and now this. It's a failed drug test regardless, but if it is PEDs other than sudafed or the like, as is now reported, then who says he can even be effective without them. Could be the next Merriman= awful without the "assistance."

what a ridiculous comment. He took a tablet that he forgot to get checked... dumb... but he owned up to his mistake and is taking his penalty like a man and not doing the "williams brothers in vikings land" and making a massive ordeal out of it so he can play. What a fickle fan you are saying you hope he's cut... you just as bad as the poeple who wanted GRONK cut/benched for the season after he had that one bad game against the browns... shameful

It's probably this

*Pseudoephedrine is prohibited by the NFL except as properly prescribed by Club medical personnel.

Looks like it's in about 300 cold and decongestant medicines and it's related to amphetamine, so considered performance enhancing by some, though it wasn't formerly.

Spikes gets suspended for 4 games an undisclosed OTC while Braylon Edwards gets hit with a DUI and only misses what, half a game?

Man you couldn't make this **** up.

 

[karguy85]

I was under the impression that over the counter medication, while banned, are not considered PEDs. Am I wrong? This is getting too hard to follow.

 

[emoney_33]

True. I don't really know what chemical he got popped for. The point is that they are banned for a reason.

Everything ever done by anyone has always been done "for a reason". Frequently the reasoning is, let's just say "misguided".

They're related to amphetamines. A quick google shows some consider them performance enhancing, i don't know about the NFL.

The drug test can't tell if you took them in a cold medicine, or in concentrated form to give you more energy.

Every time I take sudafed for a cold I can say I am taking performance enhancing drugs?

Did you ever take amphetamines?

Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine chemical classes.

Bronco Nagurski might have tried this for his cough

then washed it down with a Coca Cola

That's funny, I'm not tired anymore...

On Spikes, I've heard that he'd have considered appealing, but didn't want to risk missing playoff games, b/c of the process. A timing thing

 

[patman12]

Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine chemical classes.

And it is the main ingredient in meth!

Maybe Spikes is running a side business.

That's what I thought when I heard it, too bad the suspension wouldn't roll into next season vs playoff games....then it would be worth the risk of an appeal.

 

[sbpatfan]

God, the NFL is ****ing ******ed sometimes. This is such a joke.
