It's an interesting situation. Is the NFL Inc entitled. If it makes it to the courts I think it will be tossed out as being self incriminating.

Would Packer fans feel the same way if the players were Suh, Richard Sherman, Ray Lewis and Greg Hardy? Some how I don't think so.

I think each of us has a gut feeling that both of these guys are guilty. If they were Bears players you can guarantee we'd all be saying they're surely guilty.

Clay has always been a "when" not "if" kind of guy when it came to getting busted for PED's. His time may have finally come. I don't say that gleefully, rather realistically by using common sense and not putting any pro Packer bias into my decision making.

Steelers aren't making Harrison interview. Packers will likely do the same however ALL of them are going to be suspended unless some injunction is filed to get them back to the field. Peppers shouldn't even be with us this year anyway. Clay's loss is going to hurt.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

A revised statement was provided to correct that section.

Definitely sounds like a power play by Goodell. It's a political football between the union and management. Clay and Pep are just caught in the middle.

They could have avoided being caught in the middle by not using PEDs, but then again, it does enhance performance.
