    For Ritalin? Nah. He was pretty solid for us.

    That doesn't sound promising for Hartmann.

    so you get 4 games for a banned substance. but 3 games for not following procedure and getting prior approval for a drug you have since approved. does not compute, goodell can go !@#$ himself.

    Seems rather ridiculous that he is being suspended for taking a drug that was prescribed to him by a doctor for a common medical condition.

    I could see having to get approval to take a steroid shot or something, but ritalin??

    It is ridiculous (I guess because it's classified as a stimulant?) but he should have known better also to make sure it's an approved drug before taking anything, even for a cold, was this a team Dr. ?!?

    Is it too late to trade next years #1 to Jacksonville for the punting stud they took in the 3rd round..or would we have to throw in Cushing, Barwin or Schaub

    I'm just curious how he obtained the ritalin without a prescription at the time. It's a pretty highly controlled substance.
