News and Notes - Rogers and Lehr Suspended

Lions DT Shaun Rogers has been suspended for four games without pay by the NFL for using a banned substance. The substance wasn’t anything illegal but rather an appetite suppressant Rogers had purchased at GNC. Rogers said he was trying to control his weight and he didn’t know he had done anything wrong until he tested positive during training camp. I have no idea why Rogers is just now being suspended, but I bet he never imagined his fatness would cost him this much $$$.

Falcons offensive lineman Matt Lehr was also suspended 4 games for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

I don’t know how you can get much more ironic than this.

Some guy thinks Tiki is “America’s Back”

Marcus Vick has been activated by the Dolphins. Vick had previously been on the practice squad but was moved up this week to provide needed depth at both quarterback and receiver. Vick will be the 3rd quarterback on the depth chart and also plays receiver, which will help the team out with an injury to Marty Booker.
