not that it's the greatest situation to start out the season but if williams can play up to his talent level (even allowing for a typical rookie learning curve) they should be able to hold down the fort fairly well (also assuming wilkerson's contract situation is resolved by then)

2462552, Substance abuse, not PEDs
Posted by 40thStreetBlack, Fri Jul-03-15 09:54 AM
i.e., weed

2462476, Damn...i read his statement about it
Posted by Selassie I God, Thu Jul-02-15 07:24 PM
claims he took something that he didn't know contained a banned substance. (Not sure that I believe that, but...)

He did claim and accept full responsibility though, so I guess I'll only be mad for four weeks. Hopefully Ladarius Green is ready to step up.

STATEMENT FROM ANTONIO GATES
"In my 12 years in the NFL, I have taken tremendous pride in upholding the integrity of the NFL shield and all that it entails. I have taken extreme care of my body with a holistic approach and I have never knowingly ingested a substance that was banned by the NFL. In an effort to recover from this past season, I used supplements and holistic medicines, and unfortunately, I have now learned that those substances always present a risk because they may contain banned substances even if the ingredient list doesn’t reflect them. As an NFL veteran and team leader, I should have done my due diligence to ensure that what I was taking for recovery was within the NFL guidelines. I understand that I am responsible for what is in my body and I have always believed that ignorance is no excuse when it comes to these issues. I take full responsibility for my actions. I’d like to express my sincere apologies to the Chargers, my teammates, coaches, fans and the league who have always supported me and expected and gotten nothing but the highest level of integrity from me."
