In response to Panthers safety Eric Reid‘s latest iteration of his allegation

The NFL Players Association will Womens Shaq Thompson Jersey , as a practical matter, be investigating the NFL Players Association. that the NFL has subjected him to not-random random PED testing, the NFLPA reportedly is “looking into” the situation, according to David Newton of ESPN.com.That may just be a way of placating Reid, who apparently believes that the NFL has exclusive authority and control over the selection of 10 players per week from each team that will be subjected to random PED testing, and that the NFL is skewing that process to have his number called repeatedly.“I know what I’m dealing with,” Reid said Wednesday, via Newton. “I have a collusion case against the NFL. This is something that doesn’t surprise me from them. It’s supposed to be random. It’s obviously not. I’m not surprised about it. Even though it seems crazy on the outside looking in Womens Dontari Poe Jersey , and it is, I’m not surprised.”But does Reid really know what he’s dealing with? As explained on Wednesday, the NFL and NFLPA have collectively bargained the PED testing procedure. Under that procedure, they have jointly hired, and they jointly pay, an Independent Administrator to operate the PED testing program. The administration of the PED testing program includes executing the random selection of players to be tested. And if there are any irregularities in that regard, there should be digital footprints, at a minimum.“I know I’ve done nothing wrong Womens Greg Van Roten Jersey , so I’m not concerned that my drug tests will come back . . . that I’ll fail that test,” Reid said. “But the system is lying, much like what I’m protesting. It’s supposed to be a random system. I’ve been looking at math statistics trying to talk to people. I think it’s like a one percent chance that somebody gets tested this much. Statistically, big problem.”But what’s more likely, given the realities of the testing process? A statistical oddity or foul play? And if the NFL were somehow persuading the Independent Administrator to rig the system to target Reid, wouldn’t the Independent Administrator also be rigging the result to generate a false positive? Really, what does the NFL gain by surreptitiously engineering a non-random random PED testing process? The satisfaction of knowing Reid has to pee in a cup more often than he should? If Reid nevertheless believes he’s being unfairly targeted, he should quit huffing and puffing and commence the process of blowing someone’s house down. And anyone in the media who’s going to be writing or talking about this situation should take care when creating copy and crafting headlines and hot takes to make it more clear that Youth Ryan Kalil Jersey , absent evidence that the entity jointly hired by the NFL and the NFLPA has rigged the random selection process, this hypothesis remains firmly in tin-foil hat territory.And if no evidence of shenanigans is found, that outcome should be trumpeted as loudly as Reid’s for now unfounded suspicions.Panthers 2018 season opener countdown: 9 days to go We are 9 days away from the beginning of the Carolina Panthers 2018 season. That means today we take a closer look at kicker Graham Gano.Graham Gano, KickerBioHeight: 6’2”Weight: 202 lbsAge: 31College: Florida StateNFL Experience: 9 yearsGraham Gano was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2009 by the Baltimore Ravens, and was subsequently picked up as a free agent by Washington after the Ravens released him before the season began. He spent his first three seasons in Washington before being signed as a free agent by the Panthers in 2012, where he has been ever since.Here are a few of his career accolades, courtesy of the Panthers’ website:The Panthers signed Gano to a four-year, $17 million contract in March Youth Greg Olsen Jersey , so unless something really weird happens over the next nine days Gano’s spot on the 53-man roster is 100% guaranteed. Seriously—other than Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly, Gano is probably the safest roster lock to bet your money on (assuming you can place bets on who makes a team’s 53-man roster, that is). The Panthers didn’t even bother bringing in a camp body kicker for the preseason, so it’s pretty much a lock that he’s going to be the Panthers kicker for the next three-to-four years.
