I believe if the player breaks the “vow of silence” about their suspensions, the league should be able to issue a statement verifying or debunking their claims. A simple, “That was not the reason for which the player was suspended” would suffice, and hopefully keep players from spouting excuses or false claims to the media.

It wasn’t me…It was the one armed man.

So he sent in the paperwork, it wasn’t processed, and until now he accepted his supposedly-unfair suspension without public complaint? And now he’s being vague about it and sounds willing to sweep the whole thing under the rug, even though he supposedly missed four games due to the NFL’s mistake?

Sounds very believable.

I think I used a similar excuse in 5th grade with a homework assignment; it didn’t work than either.

What if he’s telling the truth? So what it if it doesn’t make sense to some reporter.

Completely agree with the need to change how the NFL discloses (or doesn’t) reason for suspension around PED.

This is something that should be clearly articulated with evidence obtained. This brings clarity to the public and forces the player to take accountability.

Right now most of the public probably feels the way I do, which is I don’t believe the players, but still feel the NFL is not forthright (aka Shady!)

I really feel sorry for all these innocent players that keep getting suspended*
