Raider's Darrell Russell suspended for 1st four games of the 2001 season...
 

For substance abuse...

Darn...and we play the traitors the 1st game of the season too....

I can hear their excuses already...

Of all the luck....:) :D ;) :p :cool:

In case anyone is confused, I merged 2 threads about this topic.

This is bizarre...

According to an interview with our GM, they randomly tested the guy 150 times over the past year.... the drug nazi's showed up at his door to give him a random test and he wasn't home (he was in San Diego)...which apparently gives him X amount of time to phone the league office to explain why and reschedule... He failed to do so and thus was suspended... His agent is claiming miscommunication... We'll see..

The fact that he was suspended means he has tested dirty once before (probably last offseason) and he is a tard for not following the correct procedures... but jeez, 150 times is a bit extreme if you ask me.... Who do they think he is? Robert Downey Jr?

The sad thing is alot of Raider fans are atually happy about this... to me thats more pathetic than what DRuss did.... A sad day in Raiderland...

Flyin',

Bangers will turn on their own in a heartbeat so I am not too surprised that most of the faithful are ready to cut his throat...

I read on Otto's site that there is specualtion that this is part of a "payback" by the league RE the Raiders lawsuit. I wouldn't put anything past Tags.

But DRuss is a wuss nevertheless. That's what he gets for ripping KC and Arrowhead...

wolf....

I wouldn't put it past Tags but the burden was on #96.... he knew he had to cross every T and dot every I as Tony Soprano, er... Tags would have his claws out.... Noone to blame but himself...

If personal agendas or politics was involved.... it is sad...

Whats the url for the raider board, I'm curious about what's being said

How did this happen with Gamnon around? I thought he healed the sick with sweat from his jock strap

It's probable that the league knows things about Russell that "otto":rolleyes: does not.
