Jets LB Suspened for Taking Banned Substance

The NFL suspended New York Jets linebacker Calvin Pace for four games without pay Thursday for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Pace will miss the Jets' first four games of the 2009 season and is eligible to return for their Monday Night Football game at Miami on Oct. 12. The suspension begins September 5 and Pace can return to court on October.

"I am responsible for what I put into my body, and I should have paid closer attention to the league's guidelines," Pace said in the statement. "I regret that this has happened and apologize to my teammates, the entire Jets organization, as well as the fans. Hopefully, this does not distract from our ultimate goal of winning the Super Bowl."

Whether innocent or not, Pace has realized his mistakes. I think everyone makes mistakes, let alone this guy. No one could exactly tell what was going to happen. One change makes all changes.

Above all, Pace's absence does have somewhat effect on Jets' tactical plan, particularly in the Jets' first four games. This may break their entire season. Pace finished second on the team with a career-high seven sacks last season, and he also had 80 tackles, five forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.

But Jets have to accpet the fact and await Pace's return. I'm sorry for Pace's suffering. But that is NFL rule since the NFL's policy is clear: Players are responsible for what they put in their bodies, and inadvertently ingesting a banned substance is not an excuse. This is justice, to audience, to all of people who may concern.

Not wanting to overreact, when the Pittsburgh Steelers lost straight-up to Cleveland last Thursday our power ranking minds immediately started pondering how much weight the upset should have on overall ratings. The Steelers were No. 9 on last week’s chart but that loss was not the kind of football we’ve come to expect over the past few years from this team.

By: JAMES | 10/10/2009 | Football
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning returned to practice Friday after suffering injured right heel that kept him out the previous two days. It was really up in the air whether or not Eli Manning would be able to play this coming Sunday at home against the Oakland Raiders. After Friday’s practice, though, Eli’s chances of playing look pretty solid.

By: JAMES | 24/09/2009 | Football
Since New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress has been sentenced to two years in prison on criminal possession of a weapon charges, Eli Manning is finding receivers, namely Steve Smith and Mario Manningham, who are third and fourth in the NFL in receiving yards, respectively. Both of them went over 130 yards receiving and are hot prospects on the waiver wire this week. In addition, 2009 rookie receiver of Giants - Hakeem Nicks will strengthen this wide receiver team as long as he gets rid of foot injury.
