This Week's Sign Of The Apocolypse*

*To borrow a phrase from Sports Illustrated - and it won't surprise me if this shows up in those pages under the same heading. The kicker for the New Orleans Saints, Garrett Hartley, has been suspended by the NFL for four games for violation of the league substance abuse policy; specifically, he tested positive for the stimulant Adderall. Give me a break - the KICKER??? We already had our two best defensive linemen serving suspensions the first four games for testing positive for a diuretic that evidently is used to mask steroid use. But the kicker? What next - the punter? Maybe the ball boy? Evidently the Saints need to do a better job of educating their team on what is and isn't acceptable.
