Maybe 'their job' was the wrong term.  But it is certainly a claim made by many police departments across the US.

Poo does happen, but the fact is that there was a 0.02% that this would happen in a randomized system, which in itself means that it's highly unlikely. It seems to me that it's an extremely reasonable argument to say "Hey, this seems unlikely to be coincidence." Would it still be crybaby culture if an investigation found that no player in the recorded history of NFL testing had a rate so high?

It would be completely ignorant to state that it was no coincidence without investigation.

ive stayed quiet until now, and if the NFLPA hadn’t endorsed this I would probably go with everyone else with it being harassment for Eric’s views.

and it’s still possible that the NFLPA says what they say for another motive besides it just being random chance.

if it’s uncovered without question that there is indeed messing with the “random” testing to “target” someone, I would be the first to condemn it.

just on the other hand, having seen first hand how improbable events happen to people I have to go with the NFLPA for now and just say it’s completely dumb luck.

If this is true we should low ball the fug out of him, no other team wants to sign this guy, he can be had for 1 year 2.5 million.

This seems much more real than the drug testing. 

The guy was out of work for months until a guy like Tepper who doesn’t give a crap came along.

So I believe even if there wasn’t direct collusion, even implied collusion is there, black balling basically.

@JARROD stop tap dancing like a little chickenshit and just come out and call Reid an uppity ****** like we all know you want to.

If mods won't handle it then longtime huddlers need to step in and start calling this poo for what it actually is.

And what do you believe it is? 

And do you think you are lion hearted or something?

i don’t think Reid is anything. The guy got black balled to work, that’s pretty evident.

having an independent investigation come through where the improbably is indeed possible and was just dumb luck is just the debate.

theres no need to pull up your racial suspenders and use useless irrational comments to hide the lack of any substantial point.

thats much more chickenshit,... You don’t have a point so Just pull out race cards. 

Ha

Cowardly hiding behind the military as a means of telling a fellow citizen who also happens to be a black man in America how to feel about the way he perceives the country around him isn't an actual point or argument. It's just tone deaf white privilege.

Does the NFL just have no leeway to have a human with a brain step in and scratch his name after multiple selections. 

The possibility of having a handful of people tagged numerous times within a short period is actually a desirable feature of random drug testing. 

It eliminates the thought that there is a "safe period" for illegal drug use after being tested.

Also, human intervention would undermine the randomness of the selection process and could easily lead to increased claims of favoritism/corruption.

Says the man cowardly hiding behind racial remarks. 

All I said was, I’ve seen and lived random testing and seen it go that way with people getting tested all the time and others almost never.

There is no argument from me about how anyone should or shouldn’t feel equal in this country or have equal opportunities— it’s very easy for anyone to say they do or don’t— who are you or me to judge.

i will say I’ve met a lot of people that came from nothing and are something now without excuse. Then there are others that make excuses all their lives of why they are held behind.

that issue is colorless—- one of my favorite local stories is a guy here illegally from Haiti— fought his way up selling coffee if you could believe it, had everything, but then lost it all getting deported. Well that failed and he’s back— and he’s nothing but grateful, an inspiration of hope.

Anyway— keep on with the coward and chickenshit comments smalls— that’s so big of you.

I do believe there should be no random drug tests. Everyone should be tested every time equally so situations like this would be avoided.

then everyone is equally worthless.

What do those 2 posts have to do with each other. That’s like trying to connect a Range Rover to a Camel or something.

as far as social media— yeh everyone seems to be hypersensitive these days. Everyone skin is as thin as toilet paper.

Also, I’m not sure why anyone fails to see the game here.

the testing is found to have nothing to do with targeting— if it did the best course of action is to keep the evidence quiet until court,... never lay all the cards on the table so to speak.

the fact that it’s in the media being made such as stink with no substance just serves to fuel the uneducated masses, strike more fear and hate,.. and the purpose of that is to win the court of public opinion.

thats the move— you all fell for it.

You perceive men like Eric Reid to be "weak" crybabies because they dare to stand up for themselves and others in your own words from your diatribe on the first page.

You can't even back your own words. You'll never get it.

Do you know what diatribe means? I don’t think you do. Ha

dare? I think we have different definitions of what “daring to stand up for themselves” entails.

dont even try to think that crying about random testing is some kind of heroic act or something. 

Check yourself and get a better role model.
