Weslye Saunders really isn't one of our guys we just signed him during the season to fill a void

Saunders had been here long enough to know what we stand for as Colts. I'm sure it won't be too hard to replace him, but we've never had this much type of stuff going on. I'm sure we'll get things back to normal, but it's getting to be somewhat annoying. I actually liked Saunders a little bit, but I don't see him remaining a Colt after this shenanigan.

Is that not long enough to have a decent sense of what the team stands for? Even if he was somehow still oblivious, did he not learn from the 4 game suspension from last year? I'm sure there are other guys on the team getting high, but at least be smart enough not to get caught. At least be good at fooling us into thinking you are not a potential distraction.

the guy was just playing the odds. you have to figure he'd have no chance without 'help'

 

i won't judge the man as i have never walked in his shoes. plus i am sure there are plenty of juiced colts who never get caught

 

He's tested positive twice before. He can be tested up to ten times a month. I don't know how anyone could like those odds.

the odds may be worth it when you have zero chance otherwise, going from submarginal to marginal nfl talent

 

I guess. 

 

It just seems to me like, when you've already been burned playing the odds -- twice -- and now the stakes are even higher, you would make readjust your decision making.

 

I'm on the record as being someone who thinks pro sports and the media are a little over zealous with this PED stuff, and I think that the whole issue needs to be revisited without all the sanctimony and outrage (taking Adderal is nowhere near as serious as taking stanozolol, and being suspended four games is way more serious than the slap on the wrist ten days MLB used to hand out). But the rules are the rules. It's silly to me that anyone would flirt with this kind of punishment, considering all the permissible substances you can use to get stronger and recover.

No doubt. It explains why the dude fell apart every 5 snaps. 

 

 

Yea mean it's not normal tearing a muscle every time you lift your arm to knock a pass down ? I really loved the way the guy played but 5'7' guys just don't normally weigh 210 with about 2% body fat and run sub 4.4's.

 

My last comment on this as I know we are not allowed to relate players and steroids.

 

One more thing... yea I worry about Landry too....

I likes Saunders. He was a very good blocker.

 

Also, I personally think the whole ban on PEDs is a little ridiculous. Peanuts, vitamin C or Tylenol cause more deaths annually than PEDs. I don't use steroids, but I don't think they're as bad as the media makes them out to be.

Made for some beastly wrestlers in the 80's.

good ridden's...  I saw this on Rants Sports via Chat Sports and the author Eric Smith said that the Colts released Brazil.. I checked

the colts.com and other sites and did NOT find confirmation on this has anyone heard this.

 

The Colts released Brazill as a result of the failed test. Now, many will ask what this Saunders suspension means to the team.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By stitches · Posted

      Latu weighed 257 at the combine, but later at his pro day he was 267 lbs. He probably dropped to 257 to run faster the 40.

      Do we know where Minn is playing Turner?   Is it DE or is it OLB?   I thought I had heard right after the draft the Vikings were using him at OLB.  Yes?   No?      I know Turner, I know how good he’s been his whole football life.  If the Colts had drafted him I would’ve been fine.     Im not reacting much on the weight….  257 vs 250.   Seems Laiatu lost weight for the combine while Turner gained a little.  That happens all the time.   I think the Colts have Latu listed at his normal 265.   Just an observation.

      The comp I was referring to was a graphic (by Colts Cast I think) that compared his final two years to Myles Garrett.    Latu weighed 257, Turner was above 250 at his pro day. They have different frames, but they are not that far apart in weight.   Turner just has the upside. In the past, he's the exact type of ER prospect that Ballard would drool over. But he wasn't a project. He was the #1 ER in his HS class, started 3 years at Bama and produced in the SEC (DPOY). Has dominated at every level.   It was certainly a change of approach and I would agree that Partridge had serious input.

      BREAKING: NFL loses HUGE in Sunday Ticket Lawsuit

      By Superman · Posted

      The judge will be hearing a motion to set aside the jury verdict, which apparently is allowed in a case like this. That means he could invalidate the verdict if he sees fit. It's worth noting that the judge was highly critical of the plaintiff's case and the way they chose to argue it. I don't know if that means anything, but it's interesting.   It's also interesting that the NFL's appeal would go to the US Ninth Circuit court, which is the same court that reinstated this case after it had been previously dismissed.
