They won't announce anything until Monday. He'll be in on Sunday but they won't have him for the playoffs, and likely the first 2 games of next season.

dumbass should've just gotten it over with, like Browner did.

Not true they said if his suspension is upheld today he will immediately start serving his suspension asap. Meaning he will miss the 49ers game.

'You see, what had happen wuz...........I was really thirsty and I saw this bottle in the locker room so I picked it up and took a drink. Then someone yelled out "HEY THAT'S MY ADDERALL! DON'T DRINK IT", but by then, it was too late."






who wouldn't buy that?

I don't see how Sherman can win this.

Anyone who tests dirty can just give them a ridiculous "its not my fault" excuse? It would set a bad precedent imo.

I dont think this was about them winning the appeal, this was more of them trying to not have both guys suspended at the same time. Just another dirty move by a dirty organization

Is that his defense???

I heard someone on NFL Network saying that it was a chain of custody issue with his sample that was tested, that there was an issue with whether his sample got mishandled or mixed up with someone elses.

That's a completely different defense and contradictory to the "I accidentally imbibed something" statement above.

It should also be pretty easy to determine. Most lab tests involve a well documented record of how the sample is handled. Who opened it, when, how was it resealed and stored--all listed in a "chain of custody" record kept on the outside of the container holding the sample. If that's his defense it should be pretty easy to determine.

So he's going with the Ryan Braun defense?

I thought he said that he drank from a water bottle that wasn't his and that's how it got in his system?
