Statement from Bruce:

 

[SHOCKER315]

Just heard... 4 games.

 

[Shaz]

What a dumbass

Seriously I don't want this type of shit on our team

 

[BlueTalon]

I'll wait until I hear more details before passing judgment.

 

[Missing_Clink]

Can't say I'm too surprised. Ever since I first heard him speak he sounded dumber than a bag of rocks

 

[Digsbone]

Why Bruuce why we need are DE's in the game.

 

[Hawkfan77]

That sucks

 

[YaktownHawK]

Wow!

 

[Hawkfan77]

I'll wait until I hear more details before passing judgment.

This.

 

[hoxrox]

Crap - no Irvin, possibly no Clemons for that SF game :x

Ugh.

 

[drdiags]

Quite a few Seahawks have gotten suspended because of PEDs with Moffitt, Browner, Guy and now Irvin. Thought there were others as well. Whatever knowledge they are sharing in the lockerroom needs to be updated because these guys aren't good at masking their cheats.

EDIT: Condotta pointed out that Allen Babre also was suspended in the past under Pete Carroll.

 

[Killa Kam]

Shoot! Man what the hell is up with all these drug suspensions Irvin, Moffit, BB, Sherman, Guy

 

[chawx]

Pete and Co probably knew something was up, hence all the DL signings... I'm not worried, we have major depth at DL / pass-rush. Plus, it's just 4-games.

We'll have him for the SB run.

 

[DavidSeven]

Avril/Bennett signings are now huge. Jordan Hill pick, too.

We'll be fine, but it gives us little leeway in terms of injury depth through the first four games.

 

[Sturm]

What a stupid ass.

 

[Landhawk1]

In statement read on kjr...key words were ...without medical exemption. Adderol?

 

[Hawkfan77]

Took adderall

Mmmmmm...

Didn't somebody comment that Bruce looked a bit more buff lately?

Couldn't be good-ole-fashioned 'roids, right?
