Shawne Merriman has decided to drop his appeal against the four game suspension he received from the NFL due to testing positive to steroids. San Diego has to know playing without this stud outside linebacker will be a significant downgrade in one of the AFC’s better defenses. Merriman was appealing the suspension because he and his lawyer felt he ingested a tainted supplement. I am a Chargers fan and love to watch Merriman play, but Shawn…you took a tainted supplement??? Yes you did and it was only tainted because you shot it on your A$$! Stay away from the roids because you are too good.
Story: Shawne Merriman
The nine time NBA champion coach died today at the age of 89. He also was the general manager of the Boston Celtics in the 70s and 80s and they won seven more titles. It is always sad when icons pass away, but they are also never forgotten.
The Buffalo Sabres are on FIRE to start the 2006-07 NHL season. They extended their team record to nine straight wins to start the season and are within one victory of tying the 10 straight wins the Toronto Mapleleafs achieved in the 1993-94 season. The Sabres play in Long Island this Thursday against the 3-3-2 New York Islanders with a chance to tie the NHL record. Last night Chris Drury scored his tenth goal of the season in the 4-1 vicotry over the Montreal Canadiens. It’s definitely early in the season, but Buffalo at this time looks like they are really hungry to win a Stanley Cup.
