Odell has mentioned that he has been tested nearly a dozen times since the beginning of this season.

So, why is the NFL picking on him?

According to Flynn and Hester, he absolutely is. He is complaining about something that is understood in the NFL. Hence, victimizing himself

I think that started after that video of him and the two pornstars was leaked.

Careful, I don't want you to injure yourself trying so hard here for your gotcha moment.

I'm sure you read through all 5+ pages of posts before you respond in every single thread, right?

While I respect their opinion. I think they are glossing over the fact that the NFL doesn't exactly want Eric Reid in the league at the moment.

Even raging lib Dan Lebatard acknowledged this and said this seems like much to do about nothing.

The funny thing is that if Pride was just 1% correct with his assessment of me in this thread, then I would have come out swinging in this thread, pulling for Reid, and saying how screwed he's getting.

I didn't do that, and yet pride STILL thinks I'm knighting for him. It's a pretty classic case of when trying too hard makes you look silly. Congrats Pride!!!

A starter is way more likely to get popped for a random drug test than a career backup.

Any experience they have is second hand from teammates.

Actually, they didnt. They point blank brought that up and said it had nothing to do with it. A player on a long break is likely to be heavily tested. They didnt beat around the bush about it at all

Ughhhhh, are you having reading trouble today? Flynn and Hester were first hand tested multiple times due to 1 taking time off and 1 bulking up They arent giving second hand experience They are also in the locker rooms. They all know how the process works

I rarely read shite.

The bulking one wouldn’t really be comparable though.

Whoever the frick decided to test Flynn 8 times is a moron.

Reid is a bitch and a dirty player since he has came back, roid rage maybe? I don’t recall him
Playing like this in the past. Don’t know how the NFL random testing works, but I know how ours was supposed to work at my old job. Then I know how it actually worked. Supposedly it was totally random and each month 30 ppl were randomly tested and the names were selected by corporate and sent to our office. But I also know that safety could add and subtract ppl from
That list. I have been pick 3 times in row before and 7 times in a year. Based upon who would get picked I am convinced that selected certain ppl because they knew they are clean. Then would select others because we knew they were dirty, but was cheating the system. Which was pretty hard because they would pop a test on the 28th the month and then another on the 2nd of the next month.
