NFL Goes on Su-spending Spree

Below, I mentioned that the NFL had suspended Packers WR Koren Robinson for 1-year after repeatedly violating the NFL's Substance Abuse Policy.

Also on Tuesday, the NFL gave 4-game "timeouts" to a pair of lineman.

Atlanta Falcons guard Matt Lehr was suspended for 4 games for violating the league's steroid policy. He's eligible to return on November 13th. In the meantime, little used Tyson Clabo should start in his place.

Detroit Lions DT Shaun Rogers, a Pro Bowl talent and one of the league's highest paid defensive lineman, was given a 4-game suspension of his own for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
