Broncos are Imploding....are you kidding me Denver? You suck!

[Canmore]

Ok, I confess....that one sailed right over my head.

New avatar. No more coy disguise, lol.

[ERoyal248]

Whoa.... Manning has much more trouble in Foxboro than Tommy has in Denver!

Combine a little extra adrenaline of a playoff game with Denver's thin air and you have the only reason NE didn't defy all odds and embarrass the Broncos last season. Two slightly overthrown balls, all due to the aforementioned factors are all that separated Tommy and the Pats from another SB appearance! :dance:

Excuses.

They had 3 freaking points vs a DEPLETED Broncos defense through 3 quarters.

Scrubs like Tony Carter, Huff, Bolden, Mincey and others got big playing time that game and Tommy did nothing!

Jesus the excuses you guys make for this guy are out of control.

Peyton has as much trouble in foxboro as brady does in denver

Brady's played like 4 games at Den?

His only win is vs Tebow who is garbage.

Not exactly, RV.

[ERoyal248]

What's great about next year is the pats schedule is easier than denver. We play the NFC north while you guys play the NFC west lol. This means if both teams make it to the AFC championship it will be in foxboro.

Schedules before-hand at least on paper are what they are, teams improve, come out of nowhere, do bad who were expected to do good, etc.

But on paper, it's easier but not like the NFC North is a crap division.

When did ROD become a Pats fan?

Always wondered what happened to that guy.

Ok, I confess....that one sailed right over my head.

[Mr Bojangles]

By the way, Denver fans, I don't usually pay much attention to the score, but I couldn't help notice that bgpatsfan and Tommybrady12 are really kicking hienie in this thread.

[Mr Bojangles]

Oh look, more excuses and hypothetical crap.

Nice try, Housh... You know I'm right.

I bet you were sitting on your couch, sweating bullets, when Brady totally surprised the weak Denver secondary with that long bomb down the sideline to, of all people, Edelman!

If that hadn't gone just long, or Manning hadn't, unaccountably, played lights out, we'd be having a different discussion right now, as you well know.

[Mr Bojangles]

Not sure I agree with that. While denver only won by 10 points, they deserved that game. If gronk played, the offense wouldn't have looked so bad and it probably would have been closer like the regular season game.

HaHa...The first part of my comment was what I believe to be true and indisputable.

The second part, about embarrassing the Broncos for but the atmosphere and adrenaline rush was included to stimulate the conversation.....that's why they call it the smack shack.

You have to embellish things a bit with the local fans, otherwise they will immediately rush in and claim victory!

Well he did point out that the MLB has it up to 9% which would indicate that sport athletes may tend to take it more or find ways to get it prescribed more than the average person. So in a league with 1700+ players with that percentage you are looking at 170ish players that are exempt. So it is possible that many of the people Woodyard knows could be exempt. Because many is subjective base on how many is considered many. 10, 20, 50?


Also your fact is probably right mainly because I don't know how to "no" details

Oops good catch typing pretty fast add wrote none twice but didn't change the second one to know lol.

I also don't see how it could hold up in court that a purely subjective evaluation of an individual would allow some players exemptions for their prescriptions and others to be denied an exemption.

Its not like steroids or HGH where the doctor can point out evidence in medical tests proving that the player's testosterone or growth hormone levels are deficient and need to be boosted.

It could depend on the situation. Look at Tyler Sash; got prescribed it by a doctor to take care of nerves before public speaking and didn't realize it was banned if he had a prescription for it.

The article also cites Woodyard for saying that the supplements that are banned are hard to remember because they get emails every week with hundreds of supplements that are being added to the banned list.

The fact is, that none of us no any of the details of the situations and the status of Adderall exemptions in the league. I am merely pointing out possible explanations for the use of the drug. I have been harping on the fact of exemptions because Kish has brought up time and time again that only 4% of the population need the drug, when it appears that a disproportionate group of players have been granted exemptions for the drug.

I just think its hilarious that Kish thinks he has proved anything wrong. Because the fact is he can't prove anything I have said wrong unless he has inside knowledge of the NFL drug testing system. He can't prove anything and has resorted to personal attacks instead.

Didn't you claim earlier that most players didn't even know it was a banned drug. Yet here you are using that many have exempts to use it. So which one is it? People don't know it is banned or many have exempts to use it?

It could depend on the situation. Look at Tyler Sash; got prescribed it by a doctor to take care of nerves before public speaking and didn't realize it was banned if he had a prescription for it.

Sash stated that he was under a doctor's treatment when he took Adderall for an anxiety situation. Kinda surprised he didn't challenge the league on that suspension. Richard Sherman has agreed with this notion of "Who is the league to tell a player they can't take a prescription if the doctor is treating them for a health issue". I really don't think it would hold up in court, because a) there is no definite test for ADHD; it is a doctor's evaluation that is the test and b) how could a subjective evaluation of one player grant an exemption and ban the substance from another player with a prescription. Sounds like discrimination law suit to me.
