I'm so ****ing over this ****.

Grant Paulsen ‏@granthpaulsen 49m
Jackson's pending suspension (first reported by @HBalzer721) was known before the team re-signed him, for those asking.

 

[Nobody]

**** can him. Forget the need, forget what he accomplished, **** can him now. I am so tired of season after season dealing with this **** from our idiot players. Damn it all to hell I'm ****ing tired of it.

edit: they knew BEFORE re-signing him? What kind of message does that send? Hey, come to Washington, where you can **** up, and we'll just hope you don't get caught.

Who wants to bet he blames Adderall?

 

[Burgundy Burner]

It is what it is. The appeal is enough to tell you that this is the NFL going after the Redskins in many different ways. After the cap crap is gone by next year, but there will be another thing that comes along.

Watch for many penalties against Morris and the stupid new rule in place.

*sigh*
I had high hopes for him too.

 

[Win4us]

How in the hell can these players get paid ****ing millions a year and just can't say NO? Jeebus I'll shovel tons of human feces a day for what these guys are making, and do it drug free too.

Hard for me to pass judgment until we know (if we know) what exactly he was found to have in his system.

The Redskins seem to have an affinity for banned substances, and an aversion to cap room and compensatory picks.

Bummer. The curse may well still be alive. We're going to need more garlic, and maybe some stakes and mallets.

Keep bending over boys.

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

Ax, how is it anyone's fault but Jackson's?

Jackson's fault, for sure. Though I have a sneaking suspicion that this sort of thing would be, and has been, overlooked, or ignored, for other teams. This is like the J. Black situation.

But, after toeing the company line, siding with the league in denying collusion, virtually bending over and offering themselves to Goodell and Mara in hopes of cap relief, they see what being Spineless, Gutless, & Nutless gets them.

On top of that, they gave a guy they know will miss 4 games this season, more than league minimum.

I don't know, but to me it's pretty obvious they signed him knowing about the suspension due to a lack of faith in Rak staying healthy. He's what I'd call high quality depth.

 

[Ax]

And just like the brain dead Davis, and Williams, he's now a piss test away from a one year suspension.

My main point is, The Ineptitudes saved money by remaining concubines of Goodell and the other owners, by publicly bending over, but they're still their bitches. And will continue to be so.

Hopefully his pee cup was broken, right Sherman?

Good God. We can not catch a break.

Sigh.

 

[DieselPwr44]

Hey, have you ever known the Redskins to do it any way but the hard way?

 

[Lanky Livingston]

Proof that the Redskins are just unlucky, knowingly select drug addicts, or are being unfairly targeted: since 2011, the Redskins have accounted for 14.6% of all "banned-substance" suspensions.

you know what, it never fails to amaze me at how stupid some folk are.

They tell you to treat them adults, when you send them to college.

They tell you to "respect" them once they turn pro.

Then they decide they know better or their dude does.

ffs you know the league has your teams card marked, is it too much to hope that you engage your brain?

seriously the only person to blame here is Jackson, he decided to take an unprescribed drug, key word being "unprescribed".

Is so close to a full blown rant Scotland style but instead will finish with "Jings, Grivens Helpmabob".
