smaxor5 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 More bad news for Patriots standout Rob Ninkovich as he has been suspended four games for a violation of the league’s policy on performance enhancing drugs, as Mike Reiss of ESPN.comwrites. “Few things are more important to me than my name and reputation. This might call that into question for some, which has me heartbroken,” the linebacker/defensive end told Reiss. “I don’t want to cut any corners. I want to do things the right way, with high integrity, and that’s what I have always wanted to stand for.” Ninkovich was already slated to miss several weeks to start the season after suffering a torn triceps injury. Because of that, he is not necessarily missing any additional time. He will, however, be docked roughly 25% of his base salary. The 32-year-old insists that he would never knowingly take an illegal substance. It is not immediately clear whether he plans to appeal. “Any supplement I’ve ever used was bought at a store. I was unaware something I bought had a substance in it that would give me a positive test because it wasn’t listed [as an ingredient],” he told ESPN.

Mike135 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Belichick is a genius. Since Nink was gonna be out injured a few games anyway, at least now they can use the extra roster spot. You know Belichick saw Nink was gonna miss time so spiked Nink's Gatorade with PEDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is just 25, still appears to have every bit of the athleticism that made him a top-10 pick, went from a terrible team environment to a very stable one, is going to be the team's primary pass rusher out of the gate given the injuries and/or suspensions to Sheard and Ninkovich, and is in a contract year.

Very true. He will have to prove he can perform against non-scrubs (and maybe he will fail miserably when that happens). But he will get plenty of chances to do so given the Pats' current roster make-up. And there are plenty of defensive players who will be earning regular season pay checks this year who are incapable of dominating even the league's future burger-flippers the way Mingo did last night.

Charlie Brown Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Where are the Pat defenders out here with their usual... "You guys are pathetic, everyone is doing it and it is no big deal" Indeed their own fans think that is was reported now so as to not hurt the Pats so much. Look at what one fan on Patfan.com said: http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/threads/nink-facing-4-game-suspension.1132997/ "This is The payoff Kraft was looking for for not fighting the NFL. Kraft and Goodell Like Batman and Robin." At the end of the day the Pats have hurt their own reputation day in and day out from murderers, to taping, to drugs. their a joke!

bostonmajet Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 this seems weird, shouldn't the suspension and injury time be separate. so, if you are out for the season, might as well smoke a doobie? shouldn't they wait until he 'passes' medical before his suspension starts?

That is fair, but he looked real good. Plus, this is his contract year and should be motivated. I hope he earns himself a huge contract next year. 1 hour ago, ghost_in_pads02 said: Ninkovich you dirty player you! You should be more like Sheldon Richardson from the jets!
