Uhhh, it's called being the COMMISSIONER and that title entitles him to administer due process as he and NFLPA have agreed to. Pace AND any other player who gets caught ARE MORONS, they ALL know what is legal & illegal and they just try to get over. When they get caught they ALL give the same old BS line "I was getting an over the counter dietary supplement & it contained some banned substance that I was not aware of" yada yada yada...FVCKING MORONS!!!
PS I think Godell is doing an EXCELLENT job, screw these primodonnas, they get what they deserve

Calm down Mr. Righteous!

Your right though. They know whats what. He took the sh*t thinking he won't get caught. He got caught now he has to pay.

Will the real Vernon Gholston please stand up.

[reg83ny]

Unless someone steps up for Pace, we're screwed. Playing the Pats early in the season.

what you don't know about labels, FDA, pharma corp will kill you.
what is good for is deem bad and what is bad for you is profitable for them an deadly for you.
Did this player take a dietary supplement with knowledge of what is in there who could be certain ?
often the side effect if you read them would scare the crap out of you, but you are programmed to be on medication
the Sports world does not live in a bubble they are subject to the laws of the EVIL ONE.
Tell me which team does GOD answer the prayers of players to win it all?

i always thought that pace was the most untalked about defensive asset we have... this is not the kind of publicity for him that i was looking for lol. Although this appears bad on the surface i think it's more of an opportunity. This gives the jets a chance to see what Gholston has been able to learn with Ryan. If he wets the bed: we can trade him off for a late pick, if he does well: then we know that the team's money is well invested, if he outperforms Thomas: then imagine the defense when Pace come back!

[gmany3k]

$22 million for vern would he sit the bench if paace was here ? is it ok for a gholston to sit but not sanchez?

[jetfan4life12]

Dear, that is a big loss. Many players have stepped up though over the years. With this news Gholston should be primed to compete as a starter, I can't see him playing too many plays. It will most likely be a heavy rotation with others on the depth chart.


I don't think there is any chance Pace will try and appeal the suspension either.

Every time a professional athlete gets busted for performance enhancing substances, they say the same BS line. I used some over the counter pimple cream and I didn't know it contained steroids. I am not saying Pace is lying but I am not an idiot and Pace is not an idiot. Look at the circumstances; first round pick has 4 mediocre years then in his contract year, he plays very well and gets the millions. I am not drinking the kool-aid on this one. He let every jet fan down BIG TIME

The only ones who care about PED are the media because they get to break stories and argue on TV. The fans don't give a crap (if they did, MLB would be less popular than the NHL), the players don't care (because if they don't eat PEDs, the next guy will & they'll lose their starting spot, roster spot or a few million in free agency), the coaches don't care (because they will be fired if the team posts 2 losing seasons in a row) and the owners just want that parade. If you think that everyone who takes everything is caught, you're naive. Half the shit out there, you can't even test for and the shit you can test for is being constantly developed further to stay ahead of testing. So Pace, Merriman, Harrison and a gang of others get suspended. How does that help make the NFL better? It just makes them switch "nutritionists".

First four games of the season are a lot less important than the last four. The New England game is the only one I'm really concerned with. Besides, this defense should be about more than one player.

Doesn't take away from the fact that its a PED they are taking, aka cheating. These guys make too much money for me not to care. I speak for myself though.
