Eric Reid claims NFL drug-tested him for fifth time after his ejection vs. Steelers

Eric Reid had less than his share of fans after the Carolina Panthers’ blowout loss to the Steelers, but he did draw some interest from the NFL. Again.

After he was ejected from the Panthers’ 52-21 loss for a dirty hit on Ben Roethlisberger, Reid said after the game that the NFL had administered a random drug test to him for the fifth time since he rejoined the Panthers. The safety didn’t seem very amused.

Eric Reid takes another shot at the NFL

Reid hasn’t exactly been the NFL’s favorite player since he rejoined the league on a one-year deal with the Panthers. He has continued to kneel during the national anthem in protest of police brutality and racial inequality, openly feuded with Malcolm Jenkins and the Players Coalition and still has a grievance pending against the league.

One player even speculated that the cause of a weak safety market in free agency last offseason was due to teams trying to look like they weren’t colluding against Reid when he was a free agent. So, naturally, if Reid really is receiving the nuisance of a drug test many more times than the average players, he might have reason to think the system isn’t on the level.

What are the odds of Eric Reid getting drug-tested five times?

So, to figure out the rough odds of Reid receiving this many drug tests during his short stint with the Panthers, we have to consider a few numbers.

First, Reid joined the Panthers six weeks ago on Sept. 27. Second, NFL drug-testing policydictates that 10 players from each team, supposedly chosen at random by a computer, are selected for drug-testing each week of the season. The pool of players that may be selected for testing include the 53 players on the Panthers’ active roster, the nine players they have on reserve and their 10 practice-squad players, adding up to 72 players.

Reid said he had been drug-tested five times since he joined the Panthers, but one of those would have been his mandatory annual test that is basically part of his physical. That would leave him with four tests that fall into that weekly category.

Basically, we’re talking about the odds of a man hitting on roughly one-in-seven chances four different times over the course of six opportunities. Let’s just say the odds of that are long enough that it’s hard to believe in coincidences.

Brian (Waterhead Bo) Bennett

Brian (Waterhead Bo) Bennett So who was the biggest black kingpin of all time? Just how do you measure that? Money, volume of dope, power, cultural impact? Perhaps it was Frank Matthews… you can learn more about him in my documentary “The Frank Matthews Story” link. But in terms of documented transactions that we know about for sure, who was convicted in court: One man stands alone. Brian “Waterhead Bo” Bennett. Bennett and his Colombian Partner, Mario Villabona, were eventually convicted of moving nearly l5 thousand kilos that they talked about on certain wiretaps between December of 1987 and November of 1988. Some of the loads were as large as 1000 kilos and cheaper than $9,000 dollars each wholesale. That’s 1500 keys a month for nearly a year. And that’s just on the wiretapped phones. Who knows how much he really sold in total. Claims are made about this one and that one selling more, but 15,000 keys sold for sure is the most we know about for any black dealer. Waterhead B

She was later identified as Kayla Morris of Antioch, California, a second-year member of the 49ers’ Gold Rush cheer squad. Morris declined to discuss protest Both Morris and the 49ers declined media requests to discuss her kneeling after the Thursday night game, and some wondered if the act of protest would cost Morris her spot on the team. It did not. On Monday, the 49ers had a second consecutive prime time matchup on “Monday Night Football”, a loss to the New York Giants . Morris back on the field, kneels again Morris was on the field with her Gold Rush teammates prior to the game. For the second straight game, she took a knee during the national anthem.

Colin Kaepernick’s Jersey Is Among The NFL’s Top Sellers

Colin Kaepernick’s Jersey Is Among The NFL’s Top Sellers Even though colin has been out of the league for years, his #7 san fran Jersey is still among the most sold amoung nfl players. Colin Kaepernick is still dealing with being blackballed by NFL owners and general managers, but at least he continues to get love from some from fans. 20 free agent quarterbacks have been signed ahead of him during the offseason, and even the blind can see that it’s a direct result of the stance he took when he refused to stand during the national anthem to protest against police brutality and systemic racism in America. The quarterback who threw for 2,241 yards and 16 touchdowns last year while starting 12 games has only been able to secure one workout with the Seattle Seahawks, despite being a few seasons removed from starting in the Super Bowl. But his fans are showing their support. Among last months best-selling jerseys released by the NFL Shop, Kaepernick ranked 17th ahead of quarterbac

Adam Silver Thinks A Rule Will Make Players Stand For The Anthem

Adam Silver Thinks A Rule Will Make Players Stand For The Anthem The rise of player protests against racial injustice has presented a problem for money-driven league commissioners and owners. An age of enlightenment, social activism and unified awareness concerning police brutality and racial inequality is flourishing in pro sports and motivating Black athletes to finally understand the magnitude of their power and use it to challenge the outdated and oppressive status quo and form of financial and psychological control that has been prevalent in pro sports. Since Colin Kaepernick took a knee and even before that with the Black Live Matter Movement and players expressing their social and political views on traditional sports platforms such as The ESPYs, the game has changed and league execs and owners are scrambling to find a way to regain control of the minds and bodies of their players.
