Professor Mr Hoarse doesn't even know how to spell the word "canonized". Too lazy to look it up.

With the high rate of concussions in football it's more understandable for me when football players take PED's - compared to baseball. Their health may depend upon it. I would be very tempted to use PED's as a footballer if I thought I could remain strong enough to fend off concussions in some small way. Anything I could do to help me steer clear of concussions I'm in for. And it seems like extra strength/endurance might help by way of keeping my technique sound so I'm not as subject to head injuries. Just a thought.

Gates has never been the sharpest tool in the shed. Odds are it was a fuck-up IMHO.

Where's Yuma?

Except for a couple of guys who I suspect are ex-lovers, things are pretty slow around here. I'm ready for some nasty old nose tackle discussion.

It COULD be that he took something that he didn't realize had a banned substance in it. But short of him telling us what it was and in what package, he sounds like every other person caught cheating with his denial.

After 12 years in the NFL and being a lock for the HOF he's going to start using PED's.....why?

Why take a huge risk like that for no reason?

Should work in the Chargers favor, if LG is not close to the level of a 35 yr old TE than the Chargers have no chance to do anything anyway. Of course Gates is still highly capable in the red zone and making big catches on 3rd downs. But LG should bring big play ability back to the TE position along with adding to team speed. Blocking should at a minimum be a push as Gates never was the best blocker on the block. LG just needs to step up and Rivers will be forced to give the guy a fair shot that I don't think would happen with his security blanket Gates around.

It is good to shake things up as we weren't a contender with Gates so maybe LG will surprise people and Gates coming back will be a bonus which is all he should be at this point in his career.

He wanted to get back to his old level and he was getting older. He had been battling injuries for years. It's hard to face the end of the line for some people.

I was thinking that they finally figured out how to test for whatever Gates was taking...

Just remembered there's a wide range of performance-enhancing drugs it's not like it could be steroids or human growth hormone could be creatine Or amphetamines, not excusing the behavior
