agree, this is way beyond coincidence. Bruce and Shanny need to address this on going bullsh*t now.


Im f*cking livid this keeps happening

Gotta know who's sticking ya with the needle, and what's in it…. This is just too commonplace. John Mara, is that you???

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

What was the substance? Starburst Jelly Beans?

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

......Just say no?
getting real old.......

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

There's no way in hell these guys don't what's going into their bodies. Not in this day and age. No fukcing way.

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

If it was for PEDs, this would be his first failed test.


If it were for non-PED substances (marijuana, cocaine, ect) than this [I]is his second positive test[/I]. The first one, you never hear about.


I went back and looked at the CBA stuff concerning suspensions and noticed they give you one freebie for "substance abuse" drugs. They don't give you that leeway for PEDs though because it's a automatic suspension after the 1st failed drug test. I used to think they gave a freebie for both, but not the case.


Either way, guy is a complete moron, especially if this is for recreational drugs, which means he's failed not once, but two times.

Just cut his ass now. Better yet, wait till end of training camp when every team's rosters are filled, then cut him. Let him be out of job for a while to think over his stupidity. Sick and tired of this crap coming from our players. This is why we can't have nice things.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. There are a lot of things guys can take or apply over the counter that have banned ingredients in them that can still show up in tests.

Shoulda never gave those leprechaun money

As 12th points out...HOW can there be...any way, today that....unknowingly this could happen?
Very Disappointing to put your team in this type situation.
The rules is the rules.....learn it, get over it....move on

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

PED is a hellava drug. f*ck your depth Skins, f*ck your depth

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

No way. You're a professional. Guys get suspended, lose money, lose money. They KNOW what's going into their bodies.

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

[B]Grant Paulsen ‏@granthpaulsen

Jackson's pending suspension (first reported by @HBalzer721) was known before the team re-signed him, for those asking.[/B]


They knew about the suspension before signing him? :frusty:

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

Fail.......

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

I guess the explains why we got him back on a cheap one year deal.

And why he played so well last year.

The HOW is there are over the counter things guys can pick up and, unless players have every banned substance committed to memory, they could most certainly take something without knowing an ingredient in it is banned.

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

Sooner or later we are gonna have to make an example of one of these guys and just CUT them. I do belevie in second chances, but it seems like players are taking the SKINS for a joke.

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

Is he FACING suspension or HAS BEEN suspended? I just came across this

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

@MikeJonesWaPo: I'm told Jackson's suspension is related to an unprescribed pain medication.

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

@Rich_TandlerCSN: NFL is confirming that Jackson has been suspended for first 4 games of 2013. Means appeal has been denied.

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

For the love of god, what the hell is it with this team.....

On the flip side, I'd rather know about it now, than the day before the season starts like T. Jackson.

Still anther crappy blow.

I mean he's a decent player and all but not like losing Rak or Ryan IMO. Still sucks though

[quote=Mattyk;999746]I guess the explains why we got him back on a cheap one year deal.[/quote]

Exactly

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

Now we just have to hope and pray that Rak stays healthy.

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

Of course he is.. Geez, we can't stay out of the news about substance suspensions. WTF is going on with our team and medical staff not either educating or providing what these guys need?

[quote=SkinzWin;999748]The HOW is there are over the counter things guys can pick up and, unless players have every banned substance committed to memory, they could most certainly take something without knowing an ingredient in it is banned.[/quote]

Bro, these guys have a list of and know what's what. They have dietitians, trainers, and staff going over this shit. If you can commit an NFL playbook to memory, you damn sure can remember a "handful" of banned substances that shouldn't be ingested or going into your body.

I'm sure the NFL would not levy fines and suspensions unless this information was widely disseminated.

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

One caveat to last post. If the players are completely ignorant, we should have seen staff turnover a long time ago.

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

I wonder if it was weed or PED.

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

It was because of a pain medication. If you ever played football in college or above you may understand and give him the benefit of a break.

Yep, unprescribed pain medication. Per John Keim.

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

Lol is all I have to say to this.

All I can hear in my head is echoes of "rob can start; trade orakpo". What do you all think of that now.

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

Why would be even need anything unprescribed?

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

How extensive is the use of painkillers in the NFL?

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

[quote=artmonkforhallofamein07;999773]How extensive is the use of painkillers in the NFL?[/quote]


Ask Brett Favre.


Pain meds are like any other black market drug. Oxycontin, Percocets, and so on. People will take anything that makes them feel good. Brett Favre was hooked on pain killers for a while in his Green Bay days.

Wondering that myself.

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

Okay I give up..


Grant Paulsen: Someone familiar w/ Rob Jackson's situation said he took an unprescribed pain med to help w/ toothache one day before a random drug test.
