Alan Branch wins Appeal!!!!

[RayClay]

Is Exponent handling the drug test protocol now?

I think Irsay was getting some blood work done for free, since he's cheap, and contaminated every sample taken that day.

I forgot to mention something in my earlier post:

Appeals for substance abuse go to "neutral" arbiters, so the NFL couldn't have "easily upheld his suspension" even if it had wanted to.

A neutral arbiter. what a great idea.

I wonder what this means for Kilgo..

Keep the Beast my guess hes a upgrade over Hamilton.
Or trade him back to Denver for Derby?

The NFL's crime team strikes again!!!!

I wonder what this means for Kilgo..

I'm sure they'll take the opportunity for a good look at him. Keeper, PS or future shadow roster.

It's easy. In the Twitter app (I'm on my phone) on the upper right hand corner there is an arrow pointing downward. When you find it...this will appear.



Just click "COPY LINK TO TWEET"...go back to the forum and paste.
If you're on your computer, click the Tweet and there should also be a dropdown that will let you copy the link. Then do the same thing.
Hope that helps.

Or, on your computer, you can just go to the address bar and copy that.

Branch isn't suspended
Sheard back in the rotation
Van Noy finding a role
Ryan playing well the last few weeks

The defense may finally be stabilizing. Much needed too

What, the sky might not be falling?

 

[Wheelman]

Dayum! Bob Kraft really opened up the checkbook to get this one done.

When did a "lack of evidence" or "notions of due process" ever stop Goodell before when it comes to screwing the Patriots?

Has he turned a corner?

 

[Mack Herron]

I wonder what this means for Kilgo..

Interesting question. Maybe they would have signed him regardless of Branch. Curious to see if they dress 4 DTs Sunday.

Interesting, so they went after Branch to get him done for the second time so soon after the first test. How many times does this happen to players that fail and then retested that the first test is still showing? None I'd bet. What game would he have missed.. the Jets! Coincidence!.
IMO we were targeted again to weaken the team. Would it be a fair bet to suggest that the league's analytical analysis thing they got going on shows without Branch, the defense pretty much crumbles?

 

[NormZauchin]

I heard his attorney schooled the NFL big time on the accusation...

I thought it was a big mistake when Brady didn't add Jackie Chiles to his defense team.

 

[AtomicDawg]

I wonder what this means for Kilgo..

Perhaps he gets the ax with the news and Foster gets called back up. Or maybe Jacoby takes his spot?

 

[JMC00]

I wonder what this means for Kilgo..

Probably stays if Gronk gets IR'd.

CBA requires that appeals of substance abuse suspensions go before a neutral arbitrator. Goodell was out of the picture.

Eric Rowe has started 2 weeks straight over Ryan
