Geo droppin knowledge, son

Indy will lose Robert Mathis for 4 games (including the one against us) because he took a fertility drug (which apparently worked)

[PhillyPhreak54]

So he took a drug to help him impregnante his wife and he's suspended?

[BigEd76]

yup.  The doctor told him it was safe and the NFL said nope afterward

[General_Failure]

Defer the suspension until his wife is 8 months along.

Michael Sams reality show is on hold.

Btw when I hear Sams I think of Morgan Freeman playing Joe Clark and yelling at that kid Sams all the time

[Eagaholic]

yup.  The doctor told him it was safe and the NFL said nope afterward

Sounds bogus to me. A player can apply to the league for an exception for a medically necessary drug that is otherwise banned. I wouldn't think a doctor who specializes enough to prescribe a fertility drug wouldn't say it is fine when it isn't. Either that or the doc made a very stupid mistake. Also a little curious when a guy after 10+ years in the league goes all pro for the first time, and with 8 more sacks than he's ever had before.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah the more I read about this the more I think Mathis is full of shtein.

Michael Sams reality show is on hold.

Good for him, I hope he takes his responsibility seriously. If it doesn't work out in the NFL he can still write a book and make his million.

Brandon Marshall signed a 3/$30M extension while visiting "The View"

[Sgt PSN]

So the only people who saw it were middle aged white women and Whoopi Goldberg.

Cowboys MLB Sean Lee was helped off the field on the first day of OTAs Tuesday.
A video of Lee being assisted off the practice field with a trainer on each arm is available at the link below. Per ESPN Dallas' Calvin Watkins, Lee was "swearing" after sustaining the injury, and uttered "Bleep me." Lee has been an All-Pro-caliber player when healthy through four NFL seasons, but has been on the shelf far too often. He's missed 15 games over the past two years.

Andre Johnson did not report for the first day of Texans OTAs on Tuesday.
Johnson said he didn't plan to attend the "voluntary" workouts when he spoke to the media two weeks ago. He also doesn't anticipate showing up for mandatory minicamp next month

[BigEd76]

Cowboys staff thinks he tore his ACL
