Joselio Hanson suspended for four games

Photo

Philadelphia Eagles' nickel back Joselio Hanson has been suspended for four games by the NFL for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs. This from Adam Schefter's twitter:

Hanson took a diuretic before last season's NFC Championship game, tested positive after game, and lost his appeal Tuesday.

Hanson will begin his suspension by sitting out this Sunday's game at San Diego. He will also miss games at Chicago, versus Washington, and at Atlanta. He will be eligible to return from on December 13 when the Eagles take on the Giants in New York.

I've been super busy today.. so I cribbed this from our pals at SBNation.com

No, Hanson will go on the inactive list, so he doesn’t occupy a roster spot.

This seems extremely unfair to me...

Pat Williams and Kevin Williams have temporarily survived suspensions they receive for the usage of Star Caps due to some weird Minnesota workplace laws. As a result, two Saints players, Will Smith and Charles Grant, have also escaped suspensions because Roger Goodell deemed that it would be unfair to suspend Smith and Grant, while Williams and Williams can still play. The banned substance in the Williams/Williams/Smith/Grant case was Star Caps, which contains a diuretic called bumetanide.

So should Joselio Hanson be suspended for usage of a diuretic when 4 other players have temporarily escaped that same fate? To me, it doesn’t matter whether the diuretic was Star Caps or some other banned diuretic. If one team gets preferential treatment (in this case, two), then why should Hanson have to serve his suspension now?

If this suspension is upheld, the Eagles have a legitimate beef.

Awful timing for Hanson ...

… with Hobbs also out. And Samuel coming off a less than good game.

My initial thoughts were to wonder if 1) we’re going to dial back the defense for the next four weeks, 2) we’re going to see a lot more Dmitri Patterson and Jack Ike will be moved off the practice squad (as noted above), or 3) would we see more Demps and Macho (if healthy) in coverage during nickel and dime packages.

I’m sure this is all being discussed somewhere, but I like to start on the front page and work inward.

Thoughts? Is there an option I’ve missed?

Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome

Question

Maybe everyone knows this but me, but how do diuretics enhance performance?

They don’t. They make you piss. People use them as a masking agent to flush other substances out of their bodies.

Double Standard...

no doubt. This really sounds like total bullshit to me. Fuck Goodell!

But how dumb do you have to be to take a pill without knowing exactly what it is? I mean who the hell gave this to him anyway?

Note to all Eagles players: Please avoid overeating at P.F. Changs before all games.

The road to victory!

This is what I was talking about

Goodell and the NFL upper echelon are proving that they are indeed “selective” with there gavel. Example, fining some players for touching a QBs shins, but letting other players go who blatantly drive on a QB after he’s down in the endzone resulting in broken ribs! Or not coming down hard enough on Belichick after getting caught cheating for NFL games. The man straight up cheated to win NFL games. Ok, everyone might do it, then make Belichick example. I know Reid doesn’t cheat, if he does, he’s horrible at it with this inconsistent team! HAHA. Point is, they’re selective with whom and how they punish a person.
