Redskins PR: STATEMENT BY AN NFL SPOKESPERSON (Jordan Black Suspended)

[Demarqo]

Haha, I do that all the time.

So let me ask you, if you were suspended due to a mix up in paper work you wouldn't appeal?

What I want to know is: If this is a true, medical need, why was the appeal upheld? Mara, if this is traced back to you I swear you are the single biggest piece of **** I have ever seen in my entire life.

Mara has zero to do with this. The whole conspiracy stuff is ridiculous now

He did appeal. And lost. Which is why they announced his suspension. Normally you don't hear about these things until after the appeal process is over and the league has announced the suspension. Now with the two Seattle cornerbacks someone leaked the information before the appeal process took place.

Still... why would the appeal be upheld if there is a legit, medical need? This is ridiculous. 4 games... really?

I'm very well aware he appealed. Thats why the NFL spokesperson announced it. I'm just saying if I was told the reason why I'm suspended is because of a mixup in paperwork you better believe I'll appeal it

People are actually upset by this news? Having watched him Sunday, I saw enough of him to last me ten seasons worth. Dude is a turnstile.

Compton can't be worse, and I thought he outperformed him in preseason.

I think this is a good thing. And I'm not kidding.

Psh, I already said this way earlier. Way to be late to the party, K.

I honestly dont know. Sadly enough there is probably something in the rules that allows them to do that because of the paperwork

The league probably said something like 'we're sorry but the paperwork was filled out incorrectly so it's as if you didn't turn in any paperwork at all. you'll have to be suspended.'

Which is complete horse****. I can't believe they would do this if the guy can show proof of the need. So, in their eyes, all players with ADHD who take Adderall are cheaters? Or just those who mess up the paperwork but are honest guys?

[tibbidoe]

You probably should go read twitter.

“@granthpaulsen: One player tells me, via text, that Black's suspension came about after "a paperwork mix up for a PRESCRIBED ADHD medication." #Redskins

Thanks. I haven't been on Twitter today, so I had no idea.

[MrJL]

well, considering the suspension is without pay and these may be his last NFL paychecks then he should sue the league if it really is about paperwork

I wouldn't be against it.... I think the precedent needs to be set. You should be able to take your critical medication without fear of repercussion over bull**** paper and red tape.

[skinny21]

If you look at the timing... I think Black did appeal.

It normally takes two to four weeks to appeal right?

We called up Compton two weeks ago... and gave him a bonus about four weeks ago when another team tried to snatch him up. Just my take.

Yeah, that was my first thought as well. I was hoping Compton was called up because he's performing well, but now I worry that it only happened because of Black's stupidity.

On a related note... I love Kyle Shanahan's play-calling, but does anyone else thinks that he has trusted Polumbus a bit more than he should? The bootlegs and zone reads seem to help, but I'm worried for our qbs.

every Redskin lineman is defending him on twitter, even their wives are. They didn't defend other players that were suspended like Trent, that is telling to me. I bet the NFL is screwing us-and using Jordan Black to do it. Anything Mara wants he gets, look at the refs yesterday, the fine for not saying the proper words when RG3 had his concussion, and it goes on and on. It scares me, now that we are good again, I am afraid that Mara, Goodell and the NFL will keep making up ways to punish us for made up reasons
