Von Miller suspension not for a positive drug test.

Von Miller did not test positive for performance-enhancing drugs or recreational drugs this year to trigger his NFL-imposed four-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy, an NFL source said Friday.

 

There are numerous ways for a player to fail the policy. Missing a test or counseling session is a violation. Repeatedly showing up late for tests and behavioral issues also are considered compliance violations of the NFL's intervention program.

 

Miller was placed in the league's substance-abuse program after he tested positive for marijuana during his rookie year in 2011.

"But if it’s true that Miller didn’t fail a drug test, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll win his appeal. It’s possible to violate the policy without testing positive by, for instance, refusing to take a test or submitting a diluted urine sample."

 

......or he just forgot he had a test.

The 3-step program...

1.) ..apologize...........whether you feel you have to or not...

2.)....accept the penalty....

3.) ...move on.....

It works in almost every situation...

That's dumb. If he thinks he can win his appeal then why would he accept the punishment?

What's dumb is to giht this in a contract year....

 

Get it over with...

 

Its not about the appeal .....if he missed a test......admit it and move on.

 

He'll be healthy and 100% for the last 12 games...and if the really doesn't smoke weed..it'll never happen again

 

He's got to get this behind him...

Like I said. To not file an appeal and not at least try to get this overturned makes absolutely 0 sense.

          Unless you want to go to the Super Bowl and get a big contract.

 

  If those are not your 2 goals.....,.

 

Then, by all means,  let this linger.....create a problem for yourself

 

....dont try to beat the rap when you obviously did something (smoke the hash or  miss the test...its obvious nobody simply

 

made this suspension up) promise to take all future tests on time...and stay off the weed.

 

People ALWAYS forgive you if you say you're sorry..

Lol if you actually think him filing an appeal will in anyway affect if he gets a big contract. He's the best pass rusher in the league. He'll likely be the highest paid defensive player in the league when his contract runs out regardless of whether he files an appeal or not.

  That's the MJ talking..

 

  If he keeps smoking weed..or ducking the drug tests......management wont be so eager to pay him

 

  Once is a fluke..twice is a problem...I know you know that

 

  Put it behind you and move on...dont delay the suspension like Richard Sherman did..

 

 Get it over with...

 

Think long term....

Richard Sherman didn't "delay suspension". He actually didn't get suspended, because he WON HIS APPEAL.

    • Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters. 
    • Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out. 
    • What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.  
    • I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
