The Seattle Seahawks and PEDs

    PED usage doesn't get the same scrutiny in the NFL because nobody who has been threatening to break particular records, or has set certain milestones, has been caught taking PEDs.

    If Peyton Manning or Tom Brady had tested positive during any season in which they threatened or broke the single-season TD mark, or Adrian Peterson or Chris Johnson were soundly linked to PEDs during their 2,000-yard campaign last season, you can bet fans would be singing a different tune.

    Plus, baseball fans like to talk about stats. There seems to be less interest in stats among football fans, unless it's how much they score in fantasy football.

    It's not just baseball, though. There have been major PED scandals in both the Olympics and the Tour de France.

    As a Niners fanboi, I think they should forfeit all their wins and lose a truckload of draft picks. :D

    Seriously, as long as the offending players are suspended, nobody cares.

    True, but these are about individual performances in which they get played up as "America vs. the rest of the world."

    So it was Patron Saint Lance Armstrong vs. Evil French Reporters until it was proven otherwise... and then it was only Lance Armstrong is not a Patron Saint but those damn reporters are still French.

    Weed is a PED?

    Are players allowed to take Adderall if they have a prescription for it?

    A bunch of cheats? So three out of 53 equals a bunch?

    You're a moron. Who else has been suspended for this on the Hawks? Irvin for PED, Browner and Thurmond for a little weed. Who else?

    Biggest fraud in sports history? Really? More so than Lance Armstrong who has a whole legacy based on total bullshit? More than all the Yankees players that got caught?

    Please.

    Yes, but they have to clear it with the NFL beforehand.

    Does anyone know for a fact it was PED's cause all the rumors here said Browner and Thurmond were for weed?

    Don't think he was serious here, Bodie. I read that as a lot of blue font. Could be wrong, but that's how I read it.

    Oh, there's no question Dick posted that to mess with Bodie. It was trolling, but very effective trolling.
