Reusse’s point about the union not sticking up for these guys is well taken. One of them is losing a million dollars, which is way out of proportion to the offense. Where is the union? Anyone who has looked into the history of the football players union (as opposed to the baseball players union) has to wonder why they’re all wearing GU patches to honor the late Gene Upshaw. I’d be wearing an FU patch if I were one of the Williams.

And it’s a little early for the Vikings fans’ mantra, but here goes…

There’s always next year.

I haven’t read all the relevant stories yet, but, from what I understand, the NFL sent out a warning about StarCap in 2006.

It’s pretty clear that Pat Williams, at least, was using this to lose weight, but, if it’s banned, it’s banned.

Sucks for the Vikings.
