He would have been about my 50th guess on the Bucs.

In a way it makes perfect sense. How else do you expect a 5'9" RB to last 12 years in the NFL?

Some major fantasy implications here should these suspensions occur.Royal going down impacts Cutler significantly.No Deuce and no Bush bumps up the values for Stecker and Thomas. No Dunn could make Graham a legit RB1.No Leon means even more work for Thomas Jones, raising his value.

Not positive, but I'm pretty sure it's 4 games for first time offenders.

Merriman took a 4 gamer 2 years ago for his first violation, I assume it's the same.

I'm pretty sure the league treats them the same. To answer your question, everything I read on Deuce and Smith said it was a masking agent.

I've heard them in the press referred to as "water pills". Basically a system-flushing agent.John Clayton was on Sportscenter earlier today saying the players were notified 2 weeks ago so they've been preparing their appeals since then. He said it will probably be another 2 weeks before all the appeals can be heard so their looking at the 4 game suspensions starting Week #11 at the earliest.
Just in time for the fantasy playoffs. My Jesse Chatman pickup last week is looking like my new Larry Johnson replacement down the road now.

Boneheads.
To me, the key question is when.
Are we looking at the next week or two, or with appeals, four weeks or more from now?
Furthermore, Sanantonio Holmes needs to be included in this discussion, though weed is a different "substance" than diuretics, the ramifications and timing are, or should be the same. I guess the only difference with Holmes is that he, by admission, is already convicted and could pay the price as soon as next week, in addition to this week's team imposed suspension.

The report I heard on ESPN was with a reporter from Denver and she did not mention Royal. She mentioned Duece and Smith, but said of the other players involved there were no big name guys.Some names on the list look a tad off. If Warrick Dunn is on the list, I will will be extremely suprised.

Per John Clayton's video on ESPN,com, there are other many other big names involved that haven't been mentioned. (He mentions this towards the end of the video)http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3661845
You can also listen to Josina Anderson's interview after Claytons. She is the reporter fom FOX-Denver who broke the story.

good to know the guy can't have a dissenting opinion from the "they will get 4 games" mantra.
I will not even think to question it myself.

Its more on how he phrased it. He phrased it as a statement and not an opinion. Had he said "I doubt any of these guys will be suspended"...That would be an opinion.good to know the guy can't have a dissenting opinion from the "they will get 4 games" mantra.

Yeah Linus. Please consider the way you phrase your posts in the future.You upset people when you make "statements" as opposed to "opinions".SheesIts more on how he phrased it.

Anybody else having a Travis Henry 2007 vibe from this? Remember last year Henry failed his drug test and his suspension was supposed to start in Week x. Then it was pushed back to Week y. Then it was pushed back to Week z. And finally it simply never happened. Not saying that's going to happen here but if the hammer isn't dropped immediately I tend to wonder if it will be dropped at all based on how Henry beat the system last year despite the fact he failed a drug test and everyone knew he failed a drug test.

Gotta love these guys on my roster:
Larry Johnson
Matt Jones
Warrick Dunn

I could be wrong, but I thought you had to already be in the league program before being suspended. They don't publicize the first infraction because the only consiquence is entering the program and being tested more often. I'm pretty sure this is the way it used to be done, whether Goodell changed it is anyones guess. If I am correct, some of these players may not get suspended.
Would appreciate anyone with knowledge of the NFL drug policy setting me straight if I'm wrong.

Terrible post, terrible swipe at a model citizen who buys homes for single moms every year, sure he can afford it but so can a ton of players and they don't do it. Dunn is not on steroids, this rash of roids is obviouly due to something out of the ordinary like these water pills or whatever folks have been sucking down. Dunn weighs 185, he is not a steroid guy and I think this post deserved a comeback. I think if you were to know more about Dunn that you wouldn't be so reckless in your post. If you were joking, let me the first to tell you that you missed the mark. Sorry Scooter
Washington has 24 carries, 19 receptions in 6 games.7 touches per game is not nothing.
