I'm not saying he is. But to categorically deny he or anybody else isn't doing it because the NFL "has testing" is just plain naive. We know if you've listened to former players talk that it happens in the NFL. That's what I'm saying.
That's just not the point. I personally think it's pretty shitty to assume one of our players is on illegal substances just because you think you might have an instance that could be caused by it.

It's highly irresponsible to throw that shit around without ANY sort of proof.

We are a Rams board and as such, if anything, we would be giving the benefit of any doubt to our players. Let the Florio's of the world spew this shit.

I don't assume he or any other Ram is on anything. I also don't assume they're not just because of testing that people have been getting around for decades and adjust every time the tests do.

Nothing I have said accused any player of doping. Don't try to infer meaning that isn't there. I have not said any Rams player does anything illegal.

I just had a Bengals fan tell me that AD started the fight because he was throwing a tantrum after getting beat all day. Then he shared a video of one rep of Donald losing one pass rush.

I told him to make a trophy out of foil to celebrate the practice win.

Reality says that Collins who started all three fights did so because he was getting beat all day. Even Bengals writers say Collins started each fight.

Internet athletes huh.... Again Not to be a dick but if we met in person you'd never say something like that to me. Check out my insta page.
I hold a second degree black belt in Brazilian jujitsu
First degree black belt in judo
Was a state champion wrestler in college
And while I wasn't a state champion on our swim team I also participated in that. Yeah swim wasn't my best sport lol
Anyways before you make assumptions you should really think before you type.
Fact is ive been around professional athletes since high school. And while not all use PEDs there are a shit ton who do.
Peace and love brotha

Dude, I love bjj. I rolled RMNU and loved it.

Has to stop due to a few nagging injuries and the Coronavirus happened… once I’m clear to go back, I’m going back… it’s so fun… doesn’t hurt that I lost 70 lbs doing it…

Yeah that’s what got the guy angry. I told him to read the reports and not to trust his buddy with the orange and black lenses.

I didn’t categorically deny anything. I said it’s odd for a Rams fan to accuse AD with no basis other than “lots of guys do it.”

I never accused anybody of doing it and I'm so tired of saying this over and over I'm done with this thread and conversation.

You kinda jumped in to the conversation in the middle. The discussion started with a post labeling AD’s behavior as “roid rage.” That’s what I and others were responding to.

How much is in the media regarding Collins role in the melee?
A little more than zero point zero it seems. It’s funny because if you browse our rival boards they all want AD to be suspended like 10 games.

I guess that’s the reaction when your team can’t block a guy. Lol

Let me be a little more clear about that my statements were not directed at you, I just chose your post to respond to because I was about fed up with our fans not only defending the notion, but actually proposing the idea.

That said, I WILL assume a player is not unless there is good evidence to the contrary - especially if he's one of our own.

The Bengals are a classless organization. Look how their sideline got flagged for "unsportsmanlike conduct" in a meaningless preseason game. Don't tell me they didn't start those disruptions in practice. The fact that they continued into the game, tells me either the coaches turn a blind eye to the behavior, or otherwise encourage it because its obvious they did nothing to discourage it.

When a team has to bring out the "gangsta" in their players to motivate them, there is something wrong with the organization. They obviously did nothing to reign in Collins did they? If they get blown out in a game by say the Bills, they may not recover from it. When the bully gets smacked down they tend to flail around after that.

Congrats on that second degree in bjj.
Some time and effort there.

I did bjj at Axis in Tokyo for about a year.
Instructor is a Rickson black belt and they have a very good reputation.
I got into it after dislocating my shoulder doing judo. Did judo about 5 years.
Bjj was easier on the body. My opinion.
Then work got busy and I dropped off.

The NFL needs to do away with joint practices IMO. Seems often times more bad happens than good.

I don't think that is necessary. It depends upon the teams. There are simply classless franchises that you should stay away from.

I don't like the Cowboys but joint practices never seem a problem. I Colts, Detroit, Vikings, and others IMO wouldn't be a problem. Chargers would have them at least once each preseason. They finally figured out who to stay away from and they were fine. I think the coaches get a better look at key players, starters, and backups.

The Bengals wanna be like the Raiders under Al Davis where thuggish behavior was the norm.
