That wreck was totally Shaq’s fault because he was apparently yapping on his phone and not paying attention....the other vehicle was a QB from Dook trying to get a shot at the nfl and the wreck messed him up pretty bad

As much as the wreck was Shaq's fault, Shaq had his seat belt on and was uninjured and unharmed.  Dook QB?  No seat belt and now trying to sue for damages...  not sure how much that will hold up in court...

Many that are not Carolina fans already lump TD in with the Burfict ilk.  This won't help.

I think they should be able to take whatever they want and not be tested for anything.  It's their life and their future.  Can't hold hands with everyone all the time.

Totally agree. They already play a sport that can cripple or kill them for our satisfaction, so why not?

How did that work last year? Coaching staff said Shaq was going to play more and he sucked so Davis ended up having to play way more.

2017, per rotoworld:

Shaq: 14 games, 61 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble (As primarily a back-up)

Thompson: 15 games, 76 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 1 fumble recovery (As primarily a starter)

If you're arguing we need better production  from this position, ok. But if you are sweating over the difference between the two, I'm sure I could find you bigger differences to worry about.

Was it a newly banned substance? If not then I find it very difficult to believe that he'd been using it for nearly a decade and not been getting popped.

Estrogen blockers and diuretics are very commonly used to mask steroids in drug tests. That's the primary reason organizations ban those substances.

Estrogen blockers increase the amount of testosterone in the blood making it easier to pop on a test.

One of the best estrogen blockers is DIM, which comes from broccoli and other green veggies,... should’ve taken that instead,..

are they going to ban broccoli too?

Anyway,.. it’s incredible that a player can be among the most loved and then the whole of everyone comes out with the most idiotic, embarrassing comments,..

Becaucse of the downward pressure on college and high school athletes to do the same, who will never amount to this level of entertainment or pay for our pleasure. The benefit doesn't out weigh the disadvantages at those levels.

And because we don't want it to become the WWE.

Not for a juicer. When you're on a cycle, your body will naturally produce more estrogen in an attempt to strike a hormonal balance with the unnaturally high levels of testosterone. Juicers use estrogen blockers due to the unwanted side effects of higher estrogen levels and to also kickstart their own natural testosterone production when coming off of a cycle. In steroid testing, they're not just looking for steroids and their metabolites. They're also looking for unnaturally high or low hormonal levels and hormonal ratios that are off. This is how estrogen blockers can "mask" steroids.

It's not idiotic, it's just being realistic. A lot of these guys are likely on something.

Hey, MtnProwler, I am waiting for why you poo on me.  You give no reason.  Typical male...."because I said so" will come out of your mouth next.

Peppers mills smith. Thomas Davis doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breathe as them. Cam or Luke either. Don't worry kelly will have an account on here soon enough to yell at me.

Completely disagree. Although he may not have had the same NFL career, he has meant just as much to this franchise. He was the first ever Panther to win the Walter Payton Man of the Year award and is a prime example of what hard work and determination can do for someone. He may not be a Hall of Famer but he has left a footprint on this franchise that won't soon be forgotten.

Are you serious dude?  Peppers?  TD has been with the Panthers his whole career, showed the Carolinas much love.  Dude is at the Hornets games all the time reppin the Panthers.  He has overcome gruesome injuries and silenced many doubters.  There is no one in the NFL, imo, that has shown as much heart as TD.

Estrogen blockers have always been illegal. Just a old dude trying to compete with a cheat. Love Davis but he should have been cut this year.
