It'll get reduced to 2 games.. just in time to play the browns.. watch.

The Gipper

He can join Leveon Bell in a toke-a-thon while they are out.

Correct me if I am wrong.....but one more transgression and they both join Josh Gordon in a trip around the world during football season with a 1 year suspension, no?

(in other words....what is the league policy if they get caught again?)

Vag and Company are going to need another bucket of turd polish....

I am sure Vag isn't worried. They probably have an 8th stringer just as good as him right now. No problems.......

He sure can. Idiots. I'll never understand with so much on the line how someone can choose drugs. The more I see it the more I think it's a psychological illness. I have a brother and an ex wife with drug problems. My ex used to be a normal person. Now she's dumpster fire. My brother has been in and out of jail for half his life. I just don't get it.

Even if it's just weed, you mean to tell me these knuckleheads can't wait a few years? It's a shame. Personally it wouldn't bother me if they suspended him for the year just for being a dumbass.

If it means Sammie Coates suddenly gets thrust into more action we'll be in trouble. I don't see it. He's Greg Little. Goddamn I just want to punch something.

So?

Whats the reason you wouldn't want to play the Steelers at full strength?

StinkHole

Smoking pot results in a warning if its a first time offense.

A four game suspension probably means he took PED's. Jackass.

Looks like its pot, not PEDs...supposedly failed repeated tests, that's why the 4 games. Idiot.

Same reason you guys loved playing the Brownies when we had next to zero talent on our roster 5-6 years ago. We want to curb stomp you guys a few years, get some easy wins and setup our record for a playoff push. Fuck the full strength match up, I'm too bitter for that to last me the next decade.

Thank you and... Concurs..

Goddamn, why are these dumb bitches so dumb? It amazing that you can make millions and still not give a shit if you pop positive for something. Being active duty for 13 years, if I were to do anything like this, my ass is canned no questions asked.

Regardless, it was still your best against our best. It wasn't the Steelers fault the browns drafted poorly. The browns were good for two easy Steeler wins a year because they were lousy, not because they were always injured and never at full strength.

As much as you would love for half the Steeler team to come down with staph infections just so you could win doesn't "even things up"...it just means that you are scared, desperate, and bitter.

Couldn't agree more.

Put me down as another who agrees with you. Your last sentence says it all & you sure as hell aren't making millions!

In response to your 1st sentence....If they can run, jump, & catch, why do they need to complicate things by thinking?

I concede the drafting and player selection was all on thr Browns - no argument there. However your fans still had zero issue beating up hapless team twice a year then thumping their chests.

Now as someone who has a deep appreciation of the game and anyone who steps on the field (exceptions of course) my comment on not being full strength is a bit of a low blow. I wouldn't wish injury on anyone, however you won't hear me cry when they are hurt - and yes, I certainly am bitter.

....going to the playoffs a few times with a season sweep over the Steelers would go a long way towards evening things up. So don't kid yourself.

First fail for pot is not announced. Second one is...

We here know this because of our trail-blazin' WR... emphasis on blazin'...

What makes the fail even more idiotic is that players are now tested for illegal drugs once between late April and early August, and if they pass, then that's it for the year.

I believe the April date is 4-20... showing the NFL does have a sense of humor.
