Harrison had a hearing with Commissioner Roger Goodell on Friday, according to the report. The official announcement of the suspension could come as soon as Saturday.

Pet peeve,...anyone who thinks that they are going to tell me how to phrase my questions.....they need to get a life.
Quotes from Rodney’s conference call just a few minutes ago:

Might as well use commas to denote a question, then.
Anyway, your question was answered. You’re welcome.
Too bad he isn’t a baseball player. No problem.
I bleed red,white and blue and I’m crying right now about Harrison.By the way,I agree with you about your postings,some people freak out over reeeeeally stupid things !!!
While I don’t condone the act, I do give him a nod for his quick, clear and concise apology. He stepped right up (once he got snagged, of course, which is a huge bummer for this Pats fan) and took full responsibility. It’s such a shame that it should be a big deal to do that these days.
Anyone got a pet peeve with that?! j/k
Cheers!
By the way,we are the same society that’s currently celebrating the home run accomplishments of Barry Bonds right ???
He has suffered several big time injuries over the past several seasons.....Him hitting the HGH.....I would about guarantee has to do with trying to continue to play....he has the desire and attitude the body is just too old and doesn't respond (heal) like it used to.
Bad that he did it but his apology sounded sincere and he accepted responsibility like a man.
They said the list they have also has the names of hundreds of cops across the country.
Now I know why they they gave in a little to get Asante Samuel back and why Brandon Meriweather was playing Safety yesterday.
I don’t think we’re celebrating Barry Bonds anymore. He broke the record and has now gone back to the normal level of coverage West Coast baseball players get, basically none. Haven’t heard him mentioned in any of the sports talk I pay attention to (which admittedly leans away from baseball) in two weeks, couldn’t even estimate how many homers he’s gotten since then.
I hope not. After all everybody else who is getting caught “juiced” up is paying a price for their actions,why not home run super star Bonds ???
Because so far Bonds hasn’t been caught, at least not by baseball. And if he has been caught by the feds then they need to get off their ass and actually indict him instead that grand jury into a permanent fixture. The lack of ongoing celebration has little to do with Bonds and everything to do with the fact that we’re an instant gratification culture. Career records excite everybody when the person gets close, excite them a lot when the person finally breaks it, and then the world moves on until the person finally stops breaking it. Bonds’ record probably gets mentioned during his games, but the rest of the time it’s just not an item.
Well I’ve got a damn good safety who’s going to have to sit out 4 friggin games for taking bone growth hormones,while mister “fake” muscle-man Bonds is honored as the home run king. Guess what Hank Aaron is still the home run king in my book !!!
