Patriots’ Jermaine Cunningham banned 4 games

FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots’ defensive line depth took a hit Monday when the NFL announced that Jermaine Cunningham has been suspended four games without pay for violation of the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.

According to a league source, Cunningham tested positive for Adderall, which is commonly prescribed to individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or attention deficit disorder (ADD).

We're juice guys.

Isn't it a coincidence that Mike Reiss has characterized the Cunningham incident as a black mark on the organization?  Show me where Mike stated that Ortiz and Ramirez, the two CENTRAL PLAYERS ON THE RED SOX , constituted a black mark on the Red Sox.   Even now, David Ortiz is given plaques for home run records that may have been PED driven and is paraded about by ownership as a shining example of what a Red Sox player should be. Coincidence because certain media membershave their bloomers in a bunch  this week over Bill's lack of information on Gronkowski.   Is the word objectivity still in Mr Webster's large Red Book.  Jus askin?
