wow, crazy stuff Jody.
The ODs and heart attack are sadly not too surprising. It's a poorly kept secret many of these guys roid and do all kinds of stuff to their bodies.
Well goes to show, even the best guys may be harboring deep issues...
RIP Junior

Different news:
The Saints players penalties have come out. Only 4 after talks of 20 something potentially involved, and the expected 4 to 8 week penalties, though the full season for Vilma was a bit surprising.
Already the debate about his being too harsh, all of it being too harsh, or that it was too light...
All I know is the Saints will rally, and the offense is what it is. They may suffer a bit but, I don't think it'll be too bad, if at all. This is kind of like a pre season injury.

I suppose it was just my ignorance, but I didn't expect too harsh of punishments for players who are now off the Saints...and I certainly expected more for players who are still on the Saints. I agree with your last statements. Probably isn't going to affect the team too much. Probably will affect Vilma more than anything.

Did that fat slob Suh from Detroit get what he deserved when he openly without any problem stomped on the GB Packer's head and arm? I doubt it.......
Again, Goodell is not handling the WHOLE NFL situation properly. When so many people... fans, NFL players active and non active, believe that some of the punishment for this bounty gate is excessive, something is not right.
I say have a jury or panel view 10 NFL games, mix in the NFC Championship game and other team games. Then ask them to identify where they saw defenders targeting other players to hurt them, and also ask them to ID the players doing it.
My answer would be all of them.....

^The Suh thing has nothing to do with it, but no I don't think Suh got punished appropriately.
I don't think you can just identify when it looks like someone is trying to injure someone else.

Eh, I think it's kind of sad the Saints D hasn't been that good AND they were trying to hurt people  What if they played clean??? ; ) Like I said, this is more or less a bad pre season...I'm sure the team will rally, and the offense is already a machine. I really don't see the Saints hurtin too much from this.

^ I can agree with that......but the NFL still in general handled this whole thing badly...too much for some and not enough for others, but really too much.
Nothing has been fixed.
And Saints need to get Brees signed......give him what he wants

Well does the NFL handle anything well? What's ironic is Vilma put up big tackle numbers but he struggled against the run. He was a generally good LB but it seems when pushed he could be a weak spot in the D (maybe why he needed to try and kill people? ) Watch his replacement be better! Is Brees still not signed???

Ahh thanks. At first they made it sound like they got rid of him which didnt make any sense. That sucks for ravens and esp for Suggs. Cant be a fun injury.
