Luke Willson Drug Tested

[RichNhansom]

Yet Aldon Smith gets busted with Pot and a strange prescription drug (not his) in his car when he crashed it at 7:00am in a residential neighborhood while kids are going to school and he has to be at practice in a couple hours (I wonder what prescription drug might help him focus and be alert for practice?) and the league says nothing to see here, just move along.

And lets not forget a felony weapons charge, that would have you or I setting in jail awaiting trial!

The NFL typically waits for the legal ramifications of criminal matters to resolve before allocating any league punishment. The exact same reason that Marshawn Lynch hasn't been disciplined for his DUI (Aaron Hernandez is an obvious exception to this procedure).

Yes you are correct, but your talking about actually taking action or enforcing discipline. The question that is on my mind is why test Willson because he healed fast but not test Aldon Smith?

It reeks if the NFL has a target on our backs or they are ignoring others.

A few games back Gore looked like he got knocked out cold and VD slammed into a wall and appeared to be knocked out, yet neither were even given concussion tests. A writer (escaping me now) pointed this out.

Aldon is on his 2nd DUI and had people shot at his party because he brought out his illegal guns he is now (finally) up on charges for and only because it became blatantly obvious due to law suits about his guns and ammo. Without the pressure from the law suits somehow this goes unnoticed? He was also in a bar altercation.

Brooks smashed a beer bottle over the head of a rookie DT and the police showed up and took statements from the DT and a couple other players. The DA's office issued a warrent to have him arrested and it was mysteriously stopped by higher ups from being issued and the reason used was lack of evidence? Multiple written statements, medical records from the stitches and police reports are suddenly lack of evidence?

Crabtree was accused of rape and a quick and quiet investigation suddenly swept it right under the rug. The NFL never even looked into it.

On the other hand, Willson suffers a high ankle sprain in a game (an injury he has worked through before) and suddenly a RANDOM drug test is administered?

Sorry it just doesn't seem that random and other seem much more worthy of that randomness.

Also funny how Doug Baldwin got tested the day after the "interception" bounced 15 feet off of his forearm.

I don't think the NFL has done anything with Hernandez. The Patriots cut him obviously but not that it matters as he remains in jail.

All the hate on Aldon Smith and conspiracy theories about the NFL favoring the 49ers are ridiculous. If/when he gets convicted the NFL will make a ruling on his status. Same with Lynch who was arrested nearly 2 years ago. How quick Seattle fans forget one of their own has pending DUI charges. The NFL typically does not suspend players prior to them having their day in court.

We are not talking about discipline here we are talking about randomly drug testing people.

At my work if I screw something up or am part of a crew that screws something up, I get drug tested. Just had two guys fired for it. If the NFL wants to randomly drug test players who heal fast they should also consider drug testing players who get caught with drugs in their car. Does that sound unreasonable?

 

[Sports Hernia]

Wonder how often AP got tested after his miraculous recovery from a torn ACL and MCL in only 8 months to post a season that almost broke the single season rushing yardage record.

My guess would be approximately ZERO. He is a superstar.

 

[Russ Willstrong]

I wonder if they would dare test RW when he wins a superb owl?

 

[Smellyman]

Can't test binary, they would need the source code

 

[253hawk]

I can see it now:

"Seahawks caught running jailbroken code on Russell Wilson; Hawks forced to forfeit Superb Owl trophy"

 

[Wartooth]

I was thinking something similar...Couldn't they just run a random scan while he's in his 'Alcove', Regenerating?!

Pee test won't show the adamantium.

He didn't get tested because he healed fast. He got tested because it was random. Every player on the team gets tested. Do you think players on other teams don't get tested? Do you think Willis, Kaepernick, Crabtree, Boldin or any other player don't get tested? Is it at all possible that they didn't tweet about it and that is the reason you didn't hear about it?

does it say anywhere besides some random guy's twitter account making a joke that the NFL itself specifically wanted to check Willson?

And how does alleged criminal actions of any player on any other nfl team have to do with an injured Seahawk getting drug tested?

Have you ever heard the term "straw man argument"?

Not everything is a conspiracy. I really have no idea what point you are trying to make. Michael Crabtree gets cleared of a rape allegation by two other eye witness women is proof that the NFL has it out for the Seahawks?

What are you talking about?

 

[HawKnPeppa]

He'd better pass.

Or you will.... :les:

 

[Exittium]

Sure just like Baldwin got tested for bouncing a ball 15-20feet off his bionic freak forearms...

 

[253hawk]

Or when Pat McAfee (sloppily) lit up a guy smaller than him, just because he's a punter.

There is nothing 'random' about the tests being done this year.

 

[JKent82]

The Wollverine, that's awesome.

Also crazier conspiracies aside, the random drug testing just doesn't seem random. I think there was at least another hawk other than Doug who had the same thing occur where after a big game he got tested. Course it could just be coincidences but I don't know. (I don't mean this as a seahawks targeted type thing, just mean league wide)

The HGH thing is probably something no one currently wants to touch. I'd bet the NFL is as interested in a delay in testing behind close doors as the NFLPA.

 

[brimsalabim]

I wonder if they would dare test RW when he wins a superb owl?

Would growth hormone make him taller?

 

[Seeker]

Not to mention the fact that aldon was NEVER suspended (he voluntarily took a few weeks off to go to "rehab" (see: rest) after playing a game that week and being shamed into taking a break.

 

[Evil_Shenanigans]

How very "random."

Was my thought just now to.. so very "random"

That's deep man

 

[Shock2k]

Well I can say from the OP point of view. I just basically thought it was funny. I honestly don't care how many times they test the team. After everything that's happened, anyone on our team should frankly know better.

If you want a real irony, the Redskins and in St. Louis have had a lot more suspensions than us. If there is anything slightly disturbing is that it's only "big" news if it's a Seahawks player.

Still though I don't care. We all we got (Seattle Fans) we all we need (Seattle Fans).
