That is very interesting for preworkouts to have substances that are illegal to sell for human consumption in them. I did not think they would be able to get away with that. I guess I've also heard of some preworkouts containing small amounts of meth. I agree there's no way he was using it on purpose; no one takes trace amounts of this kind substance.You are right, I should not have said most. There are 17 of them listed on usada and several of them use different names like enobosarm, MK-2866, or GTx-024. Other mix it in to thier "proprietary blend" and are trace amounts.
But I stand by my comment that there is still no scientific proof of what it does since it's not approved for human use and is still being look at for long term effects. That is the main reason I couldn't see Hopkins purposely using it, your reason also has validity.
"Because ostarine is still being investigated for use in humans, the side effects have not been fully characterized yet. For recent information on the effects of ostarine, take a look at this 2013 study from the National Center for Biotechnology Information."
Substance Profile: What athletes need to know about ostarine: USADA
Ostarine is prohibited in sport and not approved for human consumption worldwide. But what is ostarine? And why is it prohibited in sport?
Apparently, they put on the label that it should not be consumed by humans. Plus, the FDA doesn't regulate most supplements, so no one is checking what is in them at the government level. I only knew because I read an article a few years ago ago the dangers of not knowing how to read preworkout labels and that you should never use of that doesn't list what's in the "proprietary blend". Most of the ones with banned substances are just trace values anyways. It's so dumb, but some fall for it. Not enough to help you, but enough to get you suspended from the NFL.
This team and prior poor FO showed us abundant evidence of what happens when you hold onto aging veterans with trade value--it doesn't end well. Factor in that he's been suspended; factor in his been injured a lot now; factor in his age; factor in how dumb it is giving big money to old players; factor in how bad we're going to be next season regardless if he's on the team or not. It is absolutely a no brainer to trade him now. Because the option isn't to trade him or keep him--the option is to trade him or give him a fat new extension full of more guaranteed money, because we aren't paying him 30 mill this season and he's not going to play without getting that fat new extension.
Factor in that you make a good point about him not being easily replaced
Yes, that is the major downside. Unfortunately, we're going to have to do it soon anyway, and starting that process sooner rather than later and not handcuffing ourselves with a bad contract while receiving compensation is, IMO, the way.
Nailed it!
Id take 58 and 90 for him for sure.
Like Calais?
Like Chandler. Calais is a great older player, and a huge outlier. Definitely the exception and not the norm.
I'm definitely okay with extending DHop another 3-4 years.
I'm glad you aren't the GM.
Got it.
.
We are not getting 2 twos or a 1st for a guy that is one bad test from an year long suspension, over 30, and showing some wear. We might to settle for a single 2 or 3 at this point.
But in a sub par offense he stil put 100 yards for game
If you can get a first for him right now you have to take it, TBH. Last season showed that Hollywood Brown can be extremely productive in stretches; he can probably bridge the gap as a Fake #1 until you develop someone to take over.
