		<description><![CDATA[I love it.  You&#039;ve resolved your entire position to the claim that Clay Matthews is juicing.  That&#039;s when you know you&#039;re beaten Hargis.  Pick up your ball, and go home.  Pray that some day the Claymaker will test positive, and cut your losses while you&#039;re just getting creamed.  Actually, you&#039;re probably doing that right now at the Brass Rail.

Pack--12-4
Vikes--5-11

Book it moron.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No a$$wipe, Isaid they PLAYED in the steroids era, I never said they took them. By your response though, I see you must think there is some merit to that.

Ther is no kool aid to drink dummy. He has plantar fascitis- it could hamper him ALL YEAR.

Aren&#039;t you packer fan turds fanous for saying &quot; next man up&quot; anyway?
Yep, it&#039;s going to affect the Vikings with him out- but MAYBE resting it a couple extra weeks helps- nah, that can&#039;t be right- Favreblows says it&#039;s not. 
This is the best part- growth spurt? Gropwth spurt?!!?!

You have growth spurts when you go through puberty stupid.

What BOTH of these men did was grow with the aid of illegal PEDS. Age has nothin to do with it.

YOu crucify Bonds for steroids yet Clay gets a pass. Hyocrisy, they name is Packer nation.

Bonds gained 1/2 the amount of muscle mass that Clay did in the same amount of time.
You cannot refute this fact. 
There is no humanly possible way that you can put that type of mass on with out the aid of PEDS- NO WAY.

I would figure any book you read had only pictures. You don&#039;t understand common sense, deductive reasoning or even compound sentences. I already know someone is helping you type out your posts- from the looks of it- whoever it is ias about 12 years old.

I&#039;ll be at the Saloon- you want me to save you your favorite chair?

I&#039;m out of my league huh? You couldn&#039;t find you a$$ with both hands and a flashlight when it comes to anything sports related.

I have feeling you are an embarassment to your whole family.
Is your mother still booing her reproductive organs every time she looks at you?]]></description>

Keep drinking the kool-aid and claiming that the Williams suspension actually helps the Vikings.  Your ignorance keeps rising to the top.

Slight flaw in your logic dumba$$.  Bonds went on his growth spurt in his thirties.  Matthews did it in his teens and early 20s.......when most normal people go on.......Growth Spurts!  

I can read you like a book.......a really short one......with lots of pictures.

 What does his financial situation have to do with his performance on the field? I love it when you post. Just makes the Packer fanbase hate you even more.

Sit down cheater! 

I love the response from Vikings fans. They somehow think this is a blessing because Williams has a sore foot. Ha. One of your best players just lost out on 1/4 of his total pay for the year. Yeah…..that’s great news you morons.

Keep dreaming about Clay getting caught idiots. Ever see any of his relatives…..yeah they were really small, bad football players.

Viking fans take the cake in not knowing sh!t.
And Paul Hargis is your fearless leader.

==============================
If you had an ounce of brain matter- you&#039;d understand that him sitting down for 2 games -HELPS HIM GET OVER HIS INJURY!!!!!

Dad Clay Jr. and Uncle Bruce also played during the steroid era. But hey, Favreblows says Clay III is clean- so none of us should question it.

Nah, a kid goes from 168 pounds to 260 in 6 years- there is no reason to think it.

When its been proven that you can only gain 6-8 pounds on muscle per year with out the aid of drugs- that would put clayat about 215 on the high side.
Bonds was crucified for gaining 1/2 the weight in the same amount of time- but no, Clay he&#039;s clean.
I will laugh my a$$ off on the day he pisses dirty.

Favreblows, you my ignorant buttplug, are tops when it comes to not knowing sh!t.

To paraphrase Metallica-

Where&#039;s your crown King know nothing?!]]></description>

I never thought this would take longer than the lockout out to figure out, did that other Williams avoid suspension by retiring?
_____________

No, Pat Williams&#039; retirement did not help him to avoid suspension. In a separate announcement, Goodell said that Pat would be suspended for &quot;a million gazillion years!&quot;]]></description>

This is a case where the players lost big, factor in lawyer fees i just dont want to know how much, the emotional roller coasters and then to be hit with two games. Had they not contested, the 4 game checks would have been cheaper. Anyway hindsight is 20/20

---------------

I don&#039;t know. The players, through all the publicity in the case, made sure that everyone knew that they didn&#039;t take steroids, and that the substance they tested positive for wasn&#039;t something they knowingly ingested. Maintaining there reputation seemed to be high on their list of objectives. 

Also, they got to keep playing. Pat&#039;s retiring, and so will never have to serve the suspension, and Kevin has a foot injury that might have kept him out anyways. The extra two weeks to heal will certainly serve him well when we get later in the season. 

Depending on how they rank those items compared to the money lost, the players may feel as though they won in the long run.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This stinks.  The NFL has gotten away with unequal justice here, allowing some players who had taken StarCaps to get off scott-free, but choosing to penalize Williams and probably Will Smith.  

To make matters worse, the NFL knew StarCaps contained an unlisted ingredient that it had banned, and did NOT tell the NFLPA about it.  

But I guess its better that league office be allowed to fool itself into believing that they&#039;re not hypocrites than to cause any damage to Roger Goodell&#039;s delicate, precious ego.]]></description>

So why is the steroid masker getting off with only half the penalty?

Why should the vikings not get the full punishment after 2 steroid masking agents found in players and Erin Henderson was found using steroids and Ray Edwards was found using steroids?

With the vikings history of marijuanna and drunken episodes that franchise deserves no leniency.

--------------------------------------------

He may have tested positive under the old CBA, but due to the timing of the court cases and whatnot, he&#039;s being punished under the current CBA, which states that players testing positive for diuretics will be suspended for 2 games (as reported previously on PFT - http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/23/report-starcaps-suspensions-could-be-reduced/). Therefore, he is receiving full punishment. Actually, since he&#039;s being fined for an additional two games, he&#039;s receiving extra punishment.  

In other words, get your facts straight before spewing your outrage. It does you no credit to be that wrong.]]></description>

Junior,
 If you&#039;re going to indict Vikings based on the above statement, you&#039;d better be squeaky clean between the sheets over there in the Holy(Packer)Land.  Debauchery is not exclusive to Minny, and even you must know and accept that.  You&#039;ll have to go back to the glory days when there are at least as many bone-headed Packers doing rude and lascivious things with the fair sex and alcohol and weed as on any other team.  

You claim here [ad nauseum] that Minny is home to villains and by inference that GB is home to angels and hence the trophy count.  Your own logic shackles you to the truth, which is that many, many of the Holy 13 were captured using players whom, if all the stories were told, and the truth be known, would make you very, very ashamed indeed.  So drop the halo, Junior.  Nobody buys it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I looked up &quot;Plantar Fasciitis&quot; and I read that you can do every treatment from rubdowns on the foot to massages to cortisone shots and many other treatments. But the best thing you can do for plantar fasciitis is to stay off your foot. Why then do I see Kevin Williams standing around at football practice and walking the sidelines at the games (I see he has a walking cast on-but hey?). Hey Kevin, &quot;stay off the foot&quot;! Watch some TV or something-but stay off the foot!!!]]></description>
