Although we doubt anything will come of it since commissioner Roger Goodell rules with an iron fist, Green Bay Packers defensive end Mike Neal is still trying to appeal his four-game suspension.
Neal was suspended for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy, but he claims he did nothing of the sort. Neal says the league suspended him for taking Adderall and not reporting it.
“If you look at Adderall, are you going to come in here and run faster, jump higher, block some passes and sack some quarterbacks?” Neal said. “In my eyes, I didn’t do anything wrong. In my eyes, I just went and sought help that I thought I needed. I didn’t go through the team; I went through another doctor. If that was my fault for not being responsible and going through the team, that was my fault and I’ll take that. But as far as I’m concerned if you consider Adderall a performance enhancing drug then I think that everybody would be fired for their jobs.”
Neal is right if he has indeed been suspended for taking Adderall, which is used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder, among other things. Of course, the idiots in the NFL’s front office probably don’t care to hear about that.
Obviously, they need to know every drug every one of their players is taking, privacy be damned.
this is ou…..ooh, bright shiny thing….nevermind. What?
You mean, Mike Neal WANTS to play the first 4 weeks?? Holy shit!
Oh, wait, this doesn’t mean that. What it means is that he wants to get paid for the first 4 weeks.
No, nobody wants to get paid for 4 weeks. Hellz Bellz I go to work because I like it!
Quote from Roger Goodell: It (NFL) is a form of socialism. And it’s worked quite well for us. So we try to combine socialism and capitalism. How can we socialize? By sharing our revenue in a way that will allow every team the ability to compete.
“If you look at Adderall, are you going to come in here and run faster, jump higher, block some passes and sack some quarterbacks?” Neal said………………….Based on your shitty play Mikey….Adderall does nothing of the sort. The rules are simple……Let the team Dr’s know what your taking…It’s not complicated….Play by the rules, and if you dont want too, then stop crying about it…And just stfu and sit down.
Wow! What a bunch of ignorance.
Iltarion you have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe the guy would like to get on the field because he if finally healthy. For a second round pick he signed a very fair contract, def not a guy that’s money hungry.
MXZ600. Shitty Play? The guy has been banged up. Plus who are you to judge? You probably work at a Menards. Maybe you should get informed on the topic before you passing judgement. Mr. Neal had a script for Adderall before he even signed with the Packers. It’s the exact same situation as Andre Brown from the Giants, who got his appeal approved might I add.
If you guys are Packer fans why don’t you try supporting your team and it’s players instead of passing judgment on situations you have no facts on.
