Seem to be taking some hits...with Brandon Browner & Thurmond gone ....even Richard Sherman overturned his appeal on a technicality...

I know every team in the NFL has this issue....but it looks like Seattle Seahawks & ole Petey Carroll easily leading the NFL in suspensions PED's(Irvin, Moffit, Barbre, Guy)...5, 6, 7?? Lost count....

Whatever it may be...Adderall; HGH, etc...

HOW MANY PLAYERS around the NFL are really doing this stuff & just not getting caught?? 10%, 25%?? More?

Curious to see what yall think...

Go watch a Saints game from the late 80's and look at those dudes. I think it's over 75%. In talking with people who would know that have direct contact with players, they think its higher than that.

It's why if Goodell really cared about player safety, that would be the first thing fixed. Very similar to how baseball knew, football knows. They don't care.

The Hawks have only had 2 players suspended for PEDs in the Pete Carroll era. Haven't the Saints had more than that?

Just like baseball the NFL will finally crackdown for real once the game becomes noticeably tarnished. It's getting there if you hadn't noticed with the fines Goodell's handing out like candy

I actually don't care about PED use. I don't think they should be banned.

The whole Seahawks team is taking something. The reason Reggie bush was hurt so much when he was with us cause he didn't have Pete carol to give him peds and steroids like he did at USC. Nfl really needs to investigate this team but won't .Ever since Pete has got there they have had the least amount of injuries cause they are all doping.

NO DOUBT...If they were giving Gold Medals for PED's...Seattle Seahawks would WIN in a landslide!

Not to even mention, their star running back who turns into "beast mode" whenever he pops his brightly colored "Skittles" into his mouth....the more I read and hear about the Skittles thing, as locker room humor, I'm like c'mon man, this is just ridiculous -- it's gotta be an inside joke for something.

Sherman sucked in college. How did he suddenly get so good?

True...Sherman sure elevated his game

Browner's career was waning in the CFL...became a next level player like that...

It's easy to see where the get the BOOM from..with a little help from there friends
