You are aware of these freedoms the people you claim he's "disrespecting" are fighting for, right?

So the only way he's being picked on is if the independent company selected by the players association is singling him out.


This doesn’t make any sense

Comments from this thread as well as many others about him lead to the conclusion. Again, you seem to be in the minority I’m sorry Mr. Reid but not everyone thinks like you.

He is right. They are blantantly going after him
They went after Matt Flynn and Jacob Hester too then, two white arse crackers from LSU

Flynn said he was tested about 8 times in 11 weeks when he took time off, and Hester said he was tested almost 5 weeks in a row when he bulked up

They both basically called Reid and you a bitch

ETA: they called draconian and jbeam a bitch too

Y’all should all go listen to the segment

They both said the tests have never been random. If you take time off or gain muscle etc etc it’s well know you will be tested more. They basically said everybody understands, and Reid need to stop being a huge pussy

I completely understand that 7 test notices since returning to the NFL 8 weeks ago appears suspicious and may suggest nefarious targeting on the NFL's part but he has no one to blame but his union and the NFL CBA for this besides if he has nothing to hide, he shouldn't be complaining, thats the tradeoff that comes with employment. SUCK A DICK.

That’s the issue though

There should be no unusual cluster of testing for ANY player if this is to be a randomized program. If it’s not random, then they should redraw the CBA

Sounds like they are, however we do not have access to all the test results that may merit the NFL's behavior. Personally, not my circus not my clowns. No sympathy here, if it's allowed in their union deal it was approved by the players. Suit up, make your millions. Wish I had the opportunity. I'd piss on the hour.

I don’t put much past the NFL, but to think the NFL would be influenced by Trump to do it is tin foil hat stuff.

Pat Mcafee said they would call him for random tests after long arse kicks on one of the podcasts I watched a couple of weeks ago. Think it was on the Rich Eisen Show

So, there’s an established pattern. If that’s the case, the NFL could bring these other cases to the table, and there should be no problem. Reid hunting attention.

He’s tested 7 times in 11 weeks. Imagine that happening to you at your work or school. That’s suspect and does not seem random at all when there’s literally thousands of eligible players to test.

All politics aside, that’s unusual.

He hasn't played the entire season and has been tested 7 times.


I have no clue, does anyone know how many the average player typically gets in a season?

He is so obnoxious. I can’t stand Reid and his whining mentality.

With all due respect, not sure a player amount average is relevant to proving anything because there are instances where certain players receive tons of test notices over a few weeks and all that, Matt Flynn admitted on local radio he was tested 8 times over a few weeks as well, random selection is liable to produce lopsided results for some players and relatively sporadic for others, what makes it random in the first place doesn't necessarily entail they're tested the same amount as the others, not so predictable is what it is
