About time the NFL countered the bogus demands of the union with demands that are actually relevant to the issue at hand. Its BS for the union to think they can get an agreed part of the CBA to be changed while negotiating another part of the CBA that was really agreed to in principle- especially when they were the regime that signed the current CBA. IMO, I think the league should’ve brought this to arbitration once the union tried to pull some of their crap

Like how the NFLPA is having its meeting in the Bahamas. Man, what a tough life these guys have, toiling for the welfare of the bourgeois.

75% of nfl players should be worried if they start testing. These guys need to recover from injuries to make a living. The size and speed of the avg nfl player today is crazy. HGH testing will lead to many more players missing games for fear of using HGH to recover.

@bluelifer
I couldn’t agree more I also believe that Ray Lewis was notified this was coming so he retired to avoid the embarrassment and the punishment of not being able to be selected into the HOF…

If hgh was all it took to be AP, there would be a lot of APs and not an enormous gap between him and the next best RB. Im sure Bo jackson was on HGH when he ran a 4.1 weighing 230+ of muscle in the 80s. Just looks at APs family and where his genes come from and its easy to see why hes a freak of nature.

What they really should work on is a system where injured/rehabbing players can use HGH to get healthy and recover. If you they can do that the league can institute stringent testing and monitoring fir everyone.

Closing in on an agreement? Hardly. Even though technically they already signed an agreement they are not testing. For testing to actually happen each side needs to agree to something they would never agree to. The league wants testing on game day and the union will never agree to that. The union wants to take away discipline authority/power away from the commissioner and that won’t happen…especially when it concerns areas not directly related to HGH testing. Neither side truly wants the tests. It can be reasonably assumed that many players are using and positive tests mean player suspensions and bad publicity for the league.

I know I feel like I have the flu after blood has been taken. I can understand why the players would not want to be blood tested on a gameday..

Even if they get this in for the 2013 season, (which they should) cheaters will always be ahead of testers. They will find ways to make sure it doesn’t show up during a test, or find new PED’s the league isn’t testing for. That’s the world we live in and players who make millions of dollars will do what it takes to keep themselves ahead of the game.

Good, maybe next time All-pro, Stanford graduate, pompous, arrogant, ignorant Dick Sherman will get his well deserved punishment.

What a joke the players’ union is. This should have been taken care of already, but the union pulled some crap as usual.
