Remember, for the NFL to announce the 4 game suspension that means the player's appeal has already been heard.

Yes, I know that. But the same would have been true for Josh Brown's case in fact it would have been further along. That said, I mean it more in terms of Mara coercing more testing of Redskins then a targeting of TW. I have heard all year, and believe that some in the NFL have a target on Norman's back, and in fact many were saying his random tests were abnormally frequent. So in the tinfoil hat moment, if Mara knows via back room channels, that TW is doing weed, maybe he sways a random test when he knows he can pull a gotcha on TW. TW's silence definitely implies guilt, but that doesn't mean that all the factors involved in the situation were just happenstance.
All though they probably are.
Summing up - it's more my distrust of Mara's dealings in the NFL and his abuse of privilege then it is defending TW's innocence, because I doubt he is.
