better to cut ties now. what is this 14 games? basically a whole season. not worth it what so ever.

I hate talking commenting on topics like this because it usually sounds hypocritical whichever way you slice it. Iv read a lot, and i mean a looooot about PEDs and sports. To keep things simple, lets just say there are 3 types of PED.

a- More strength, speed. (Usually used when a player needs to get stronger and faster real quick.) Most commonly used by players with expiring contracts. Most athletes reach a point where their body just cant get stronger or faster. With this stuff, the outer layer of muscles are broken and another layer is built over and strength increases are visible within weeks and just keep getting better and better until you go off that stuff. Really bad long term effects but not as bad short term if used properly. 

b- More endurance. (Like an espresso shot to a normal person) Soccer players often use them to play 90 minutes like its their first. Players often crash for 24 hours after a tough game. Some players just sleep and never wake up because of the workload their body just went through. Horrible short term not as bad long term.

c- Faster recovery. (Usually used to recover faster from workouts and injuries) U know how legs day at the gym leave you soar for a good 5 days. Yeah with this stuff you can literally do legs again in 2 or 3 days. When a player is injured and goes through rehab, most of that time is actually rest and recovery. If a normal person tears an ACL, he would rehab 3-4 times a week for an hour or 2 each session. The rest of the time hes just allowing his legs to heal and recover before he works it again. With this stuff, athletes can literally have 2 rehab sessions a day and can even cut the whole recovery time in half. Side effects are yet to be seen but you can only imagine how this could shorten someones life drastically.

 

1- A lot of NFL players use PED. Theyr just smarter at hiding it. Some credible sources have estimated that upto 50% of NFL players Juice one way or another.

2- Rookies in the NFL are subjected to random testing throughout their whole rookie season. Then after that, a player is tested once a year and can't be tested again that year unless theres probable cause to retest him. Whats funny is that the NFL tests guys in the off season so if your tested then go ahead and do whatever you want till next off season. (this explains why rookies often explode in their second year) 

3- First strike, you get a warning and are treated like a rookie again and subjected to random tests for 2 years. if you stay clean for 2 years you are off the list and are treated like every other player. (that explains some players having 2 hump years in a row then all of a sudden are revived and have 5 good years) Second strike, it goes public and player faces 4 games. Third strike, 10 games. Fourth strike, a whole year and commissioner decides to bring you back or not. Fifth strike, out of the NFL. note:- All that needs to happen in 2 years. 

4- HGH testing is a joke in so many ways. Players know their ways around a positive HGH test. The players union religiously fights the NFL because most players actually need it. Imagine having a 300 pounder fall on you 25 times in 1 game. I swear you'd be soar for weeks thats if nothing is broken. NFL players need to practice in a few days and then another game in 7 days. Thus, the NFL just made a deal with the players Union. (lets make a test that's good enough to fool the public into believing that we are fighting this and yet dumb enough that all NFL players can pass it in their sleep)

 

Boyle my friend has been caught 3 times in 1 year to be where he is now. I get that you were drafted in the 5th round and are so deep down the depth chart that you feel the need to prove yourself or lose your job. But when were you gonna say ok i got it and lets fight from here on out? I find it extreemly alarming that this guy kept on juicing while knowing he could be tested any day. And he failed again and got 4 games and continued to juice and got 10 games. Dude are you serious? Now all you have proven is that you can't keep up with the big boys without PEDs and you cant even come close to PEDs for 2 more years. So basically, to NFL teams you are another dumb 5th rounder that doesn't even know how to cheat like a normal human being. I wouldn't touch him with a stick until those 2 probation years are over because he obviously cant do much without them. I wouldn't let him anywhere near my locker room because this guy's actions are beyond just dumb.

 

I hope the raves have it in them to setup a good support system for him until hes back from his un-payed suspension. Then I hope we let him go as soon as we can because this reflects badly on all of us and will bite our behinds if he gets one more strike.

Dear God ... really learned his lesson on the first incident, didn't he?

We just don't need this kind of continued malaise ... last year was horrible, but one of the "bright spots" was looking to be TE ... until Gilmore couldn't stay healthy and Boyle went and got suspended. Now he's effectively gone for the 2016 season.

Nice job, Nick.

[thecommish]

can he appeal this??? I think he has a legit case to have it reduced!

[thecommish]

Wonder if we could get Laurnitis now that the RAMS let him go??? would love to have him playing beside CJ.... that would be phenomenal!

MGMT will let him go... There are lot of players who want to stay in The NFL. Apparently, Nick forgot about that.
