"NFL suspended Patriots ILB Brandon Spikes four games for violating the league's policy on banned substances. He's done for the regular season, but should return for the playoffs. According to Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald, Spikes was not suspended for ingesting a performance enhancer. A high-impact run defender in his first season, Spikes has 61 tackles and an interception in 12 starts. His absence against the Bears Sunday is a boost for Matt Forte's matchup." http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/40609930/ns/sports-player_news/ Good, more cheating. Must have been coke, that's why he ran to the ball so fast. We should get a redo
Do these motherfuckers not read about what they're taking before ingesting these banned substances or do they just think they'll get away with it?? Idiota.
According to Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald, Spikes was not suspended for ingesting a performance enhancer. Put the pipe down, Brandon. The Whizzinator doesn't work.
This guy is such a stupid motherfucker. He hasn't been playing a ton of snaps lately but he has looked really good in stopping the run. At least he'll be back for the playoffs but what a dumbass.
oh well. Bad first year for him in the pubic eye. First the Chatroulette thing and now this. Silly rookie.
LT is his idol (the real LT), so it must be coke and crack. I like the idea that you guys drafted a crackhead.
I laugh when I see that scene in "The Waterboy" where LT says to the kids, "Stay away from crack." Apparently though this was one of those "medications I should have looked into." A brief statement from him was released. I'm not delusional... that looks and sounds bad either way. And people will always assume the worst. I would if it was one of your guys, LOL! :wink:
"Statement from Spikes: “I’ve been contacted by the NFL and informed that I will be suspended four games for the detection of an illegal substance in a drug test. The substance was a medication that I should have gotten clarification on before taking. It was not a performance enhancer or an illegal drug. The integrity of the game is very important to me. I understand the league’s ruling and apologize to my teammates, the fans and the Patriots organization for this mistake.” http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/new-.../_/id/4689372/spikes-suspended-for-four-games Basically means, I needed a month off bitches!! I need a OxyVacation.
Please, you can't tell me any NFL player is dumb enough now to take any type of pill or medication without talking to his team first.
Maybe Tom gate him a date rap drug and told him he has to rape everyone has part of hazing. Now he's just covering for Tom because he knows he was told to be quiet.
That's true. Spikes does seem pretty fucking stupid. I'm loving the idea of moving Lowery to safety. I think he's got good size/speed ratio and he can tackle. Always a drop to slow to cover NFL WR's.
We need help in the coverage department back there now that Leonhard is lost. Hopefully Lowery can make something happen.
I think he can be a solid safety. I'm starting to get worried about Kyle Wilson. I figured by now he would start to have a bigger role and it just hasn't happened.
Me too, but this should pretty much force him into action. How he doesn't start over Drew fucking Coleman is beyond me. He's a first round pick.
Yeah... we're talking about a guy who, as a fairly high-profile college player, was involved in amateur porn. Not exactly the sharpest dude out there, I would say! But the "should have checked on it" excuse is - again, admittedly here as a Pats fan - the oldest excuse in the book. Bottom line is he's suspended until the postseason. Not a good thing for NE.
