Antonio Gates = Cheater

[Dante84]

PED's

[Hootie]

I remember when he was young and all 3 Chargers fans tried to say he'd come along and break all of Tony G's records ... still think it's funny that Tony Gonzalez started his prime YEARS before Antonio and was still in his prime YEARS after Antonio left his.

[Bufkin]

I thought it was just pot?

It's not quite as funny as Gonzalez playing more years for the Falcons than Arenas played for the Chiefs, but it's close.

'Gotta get younger!!'

Ugh...fuck you, Pioli.

[Rain Man]

Most overrated San Diego TE ever, in a narrow win over Kellen Winslow.

[BossChief]

4 game suspensions for Rolando McClain and Sheldon Richardson, too.

[thabear04]

Still waiting for ladarius green to break out again.

and that is case in point on the narrative I've been trying to prove to this board for years, and years, and years, and years

1 2nd round pick turning into Javier Arenas was a hell of a lot more likely than us getting a positive ROI for Tony fucking Gonzalez

[sd4chiefs]

It sucks to be a Charger Fan.

San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates, considered a sure-fire Hall of Famer once he retires, was suspended for the first four games of the NFL season for a violation of the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

[thabear04]

4 game suspensions for Rolando McClain and Sheldon Richardson, too.

Also Packers' Datone Jones suspended one game.

[Dunerdr]

Has Sean smith been suspended yet?

[BigCatDaddy]

Still waiting for ladarius green to break out again.

I'm still waiting for Mikhael Ricks.

[BigRedChief]

What do you think the % of players using steroids is in the NFL?

Certaintly higher than the one or two they catch every year.

You're talking to the person that has been fending off the "Mitch Morse had better be a Pro Bowlers in his first season or he was a waste of a fucking pick" crowd.

They're necessary to build teams and stay competitive in a salary cap world. But in the end, far more of them fail than succeed.

[Warrior5]

BUSTED!

[Gravedigger]

He's no Tony Gonzalez. That argument is now void.

[BigCatDaddy]

Probably a lot, but they've adjust to what they use and why they use it. Instead of being big strong freaks it's more of a get/stay healthy type of thing. Probably short acting testosterone creams before bed. Like baseball players.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

He's only 12 TDs away from Gonzo. Glad he got caught. Not surprising, he's been trying to hang on for the last 5 years or so

[Brock]

I don't begrudge an old dude trying to keep up.

[Brian Jones]

But...but...Tom Brady is going to be a New England Patriots chairman after he retires! ITSNOTFAIRBWAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eureka]

Gates is a great TE and the Chiefs would be stoked if he was a newly acquired free agent.

[beach tribe]

I don't begrudge an old dude trying to keep up.

Shit, nah.

I'd do it.

I mean, what is he making this year? You know it's 1M+. Pass the juice.

[Mr. Laz]

I don't begrudge an old dude trying to keep up.

I figure that's when it happened. He was getting older and starting to miss time because of injury.

Hard to get pissed about it

Football kind of needs HGH tbh

[L.A. Chieffan]

Meh, who doesn't do peds anymore

[Buck]

Best player to ever be suspended for PEDs and he also happened to play on the best 9-7 team of a time.

IC wut u did ther.

Nice work.

[wazu]

I do if it means roids. Same as I would a young dude.

[Brock]

I don't think it was roids.

[BlackOp]

In the information age...and all the resources that this billion dollar industry provides...a 13 year pro pleads ignorance? He must really think fans are retarded....he knows damn well the risk he took...and the ramifications for using banned substances. Only an idiot wouldn't thoroughly vet the ingredient list through a trainer or nutritionist..knowing a suspension would cost them millions. He's full of shit...

[Chiefshrink]

Is anybody really surprised ? Many cheat in the NFL. It's just a matter of getting caught or not.:shrug:

It isn't going to cost him millions. If he's cheating to extend his career a year or two, it's making him millions. A rather easy decision.

Ugh...**** you, Pioli.

It's not like we just cut Arenas. He was traded for Sherman, who has been a great FB for us and is still on the team. So I don't see your point as being valid.

[SeeingRed]

Still waiting for ladarius green to break out again.

Green is good...sneaky late rd fantasy pick up

[J Diddy]

When the goal is to bitch, no valid point is necessary.

[JoeyChuckles]

Relax, he just accidentally ate a poppy seed bagel.

Well..it taints his legacy and could impact getting into the HOF. If he breaks any records..they will come with an *. There is a lot of money to make post-NFL if you get elected in...so your angle could be debated but I dont care enough about the Chargers to do so. ;)

you are right on the mark:thumb:
