seangj Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I know right!? And two years ago you'd be right... It was the best place to be for a Sunday afternoon nap but idk Something happened in the last year here. Between section 124 (Bold city Brigade who also put one hell of a tailgate) which is an all standing all chanting section doubling in size The new Video boards which are pretty much IMAX on cocaine and acid there's pools now along with a bunch of fan interaction zones Bounce houses and rock climbing for the kids The Budzone The fantasy lounge Our mascot doing back flips off the light fixtures It's hard to get bored in that place specially with the cheapest nfl tickets in the league they're really kicking it up a notch. They've really focused on the whole "fans game experience" and it's been showing. But with all of that, is anyone watching the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_jones Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Raiders won't come to San Antonio. Would be cool, but I'd bet money it won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchino Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 But with all of that, is anyone watching the game? gives all the moms, gfs, and kids that don't wanna be there something to do besides whine about it being hot.

nivek87 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 and so it continues.... Via Profootballtalk"Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon's hearing with the NFL is going to overtime.A league source tells PFT that Gordon's hearing in New York went from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and will continue Monday.Gordon's potential year-long suspension for his latest violation of the substance abuse policy hangs in the balance, and going into the process, there was a "slight chance" of a settlement which might mean something shorter than a one-year ban from the league.The difference between the A and B samples in Gordon's test for marijuana created a chance for the Chewbacca defense to prevail, and the fact today's hearing went so long only furthers that perception."

Buffbloom Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 The Bills are so bad in the regular season that they're almost too hard to watch in preseason. But I still can't help myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBarry Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 But the Bills!! I don't hate the Bills or anything, I would actually like to see them be a playoff contending team. I just feel they deserve to have a good football team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_jones Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Bills starting D looked good. Defensive line looking really tough. Their offense though... pretty unimpressive play. Giants didn't do much better though, but Andre Williams looks to have some serious talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 does the NFL use the same testing facilities that MLB uses? I think its the international olympics facility? and to follow that question, I heard that the testing process for the NFL consists of taking a sample, splitting it into two, testing the first which must reach a threshold to be deemed "positive", which leads to testing the second which has no threshold to meet other than simply the presence in the sample, which leads to the final verdict of a "failed" drug test? is that correct?

I am not sure, but I would think they would need to take 2 samples, not just one and split that into two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_jones Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Are we doing a fantasy league this year? I am in for this if there are people who want to participate. Money or free? I can volunteer to commission it if no one else wants to. Was there a VC league last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I am not sure, but I would think they would need to take 2 samples, not just one and split that into two. Collection of Sample: At the time of his Test, the player will furnish a urine specimen to an authorized specimen collector, which specimen shall be split into an “A” bottle and a “B” bottle. To prevent evasive conduct, all specimens will be collected under observation. Specimens will be shipped in collection bottles sealed with tamper-resistant seals. All bottles will be identified by a control identification number, not by the player’s name. The player will be asked to witness the entire procedure and then to sign the donor’s statement on the chain-of-custody form. For more detailed information, refer to Appendix A (“Testing Procedures”). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 A central laboratory certified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (“SAMHSA Lab”) will analyze all urine specimens for substances of abuse. NFLPA shall have a right to review the Policy’s SAMHSA Lab annually. Although the NFLPA will have the right to terminate the SAMHSA Lab for cause at any time, no such termination will be effective unless and until the Parties have agreed on a successor laboratory. If no such successor laboratory is agreed upon within six months of the date on which the NFLPA gives notice of its desire to terminate, the matter shall be referred to the Medical Director and the Medical Advisor, who shall promptly select and consult with a third physician who is neither an Interested Party nor affiliated with an Interested Party; after consultation, the three physicians together will jointly choose a successor laboratory as soon as is practicable.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Test of Split Sample: Any player Testing positive from the “A” bottle of his split sample may, within two days of receiving notification of his Positive Test, ask the Medical Advisor for a Test of the other portion of his specimen from the “B” bottle. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “B” bottle testing shall not be afforded to players who provide a dilute specimen that results in a dilute warning pursuant to Appendix A-1. The “B” bottle Test is to be performed within ten working days of such request. The player may not be present at the “B” bottle Test, but, at his own expense, he may be represented at the “B” bottle Test by a qualified toxicologist not affiliated with a commercial laboratory. The “B” bottle Test will be performed at the same laboratory that did the original Test. The “B” bottle Test need only show that the substance, revealed in the “A” bottle Test, is evident to the “limits of detection” to confirm the results of the “A” bottle Test.

dave_jones Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 David Wilson officially advised to not play football again. Sucks so much after the dude put so much into coming back from last year's injury. As a Giants fan, its sad to see his career end so soon. He had a lot of promise, and will be surely missed in our offense. But as a person, I feel for him having his dream/career taken away so quick. He has a great outlook about the whole situation though: “I don’t want anybody to feel sorry for me, or pity me,” said Wilson. “I lived my dream. A lot of people only get to dream their dream. I lived that dream. Now I have a chance to dream another dream and live that, too.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
