Nink taking responsibility for his mistake tells me everything I need to know about him.

Either Rufus or Grissom just got 4 weeks to prove they belong.

Really though. Supplement labels are never accurate. Nichovich should know better.

Even using the so-called "approved" supplements has resulted in suspensions (see Starcaps, and the NFL actually knew of the problem in that instance), so there's really no "should know better" about it.

I don't believe the CBA (or maybe HIPAA) allows them to release it without the player's permission.

Sounded like nink wanted to say what caused the failed test and was specific with details all but the name of the bad product

you know I'm really curious to see if he's still allowed to be around team during suspension since Gordon is for the same thing......but since he's a Patriot, well we all know how that goes..

Great question. Is he allowed at the facility?

For Tom it was death or death by exile.

why don't they just announce what the supplement was? what is the point of keeping it a secret

I think the NFL wants to keep a level playing field while also not hurting the league's reputation with players busted for PEDs. Players can just say it was ADHD or whatever and still get suspended. Kinda a win-win.

But nink didn't use the Adderall excuse. He blamed it on some crap he bought at GNC or wherever. Makes you question what kind of junk is in all of the shakes and powders you can buy

I don't feel any differently about Ninko after this. They guy has been a terrific Patriot.

Thanks for the nightmares.

As much as Brady trusts Alex Guerrero and as fine a judge of character as Brady might be and as upright an individual as Guerrero might be, I just hope that Brady has supplements and nutrition drinks provided to him by Guerrero randomly tested by an independent lab.

Mebbe he was just buying it for his wife. I mean, if he's married.

We'll see you game 5 Rob... meanwhile, this defense, you have to think, has to step up big time, given the downgrade on the other side of the ball.

Was rooting for a big step up in this category, If we move forward despite Ninko's absence, so much the better.
