Pretty cool stuff. I always like when someone is brave enough to go against the grain.

Interesting tactic of using undercover police in the role of opposing fans.

And the best team gets better. Only team that can potentially beat them is New Orleans IMO and that's only if they get the 1 seed and Seattle is the 2.

A Seahawks DB violating the league's drug policy??? Why......I'm just shocked!

[Matt]

I saw someone re-tweet on Twitter they might bring back Antoine Winfield.

 

Browner injured and Thurmond suspension could leave them vulnerable vs New Orleans.

[BSLMikeLowe]

Might as well call up Marcus Trufant while they're at it.

[Matt]

NFL.com reporting Browner might be suspended for 8 games.

Browner suspended for an entire year!

Sea is such a slimey organization. Not that PED use isn't going on across the league still, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is actually encouraged there. Just keep catching them please.

 

Other than the Pats, they are clearly the team I'll be rooting against hardest this postseason.

Wasn't this a non-PED suspension?  Substance abuse I'm pretty sure.  Both Browner and Thurmond's were non-PED, IIRC.

 

I think they are kind of slimey, but these are just professionals wasting their chances on stupid decisions that don't even have positive risk factors that could influence their play.

Yes. Browner's suspension last season was PED-related, but this one was for substance abuse. Someone forgot to tell the 'Hawks that just because it's legal to smoke weed in Washington now doesn't mean the NFL will allow it.

 

EDIT: Assuming this was pot, might not be a coincidence that both Thurmond and Browner played college ball in the state of Oregon too. ESPN Magazine did a big story last year about U of O players who regularly used it, their reasons for it, and the fact that Oregon laws made standards to compel random testing of student-athletes higher than just about any state in the country.

Any suspension for marijuana is dumb and I mean that more for the league than for the player.

Browner is the 7th Seahawk suspended for Substance Abuse/PED's since 2010. 

[BSLMikeLowe]

Browner is the 7th Seahawk suspended for Substance Abuse/PED's since 2010. 

 

Is that counting himself twice? I'm sure that also doesn't include Sherman, who tested positive but got it overturned on a technicality.
