Peppers suspended four more games? (http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/CAR/5973405)

What happens with this kid?

He could have made the Pro Bowl.

Julius Peppers is the best DE in the league! And I will guarentee that by the end of his career he will be a hall of famer! I only wish the Bills could have drafted him, but Mike williams is very good too! But as far as Peppers he is awesome! Can u say sack record!!!

It makes no sense why he pulled his protest or whatever as long as he had that going andf the league was still revieing it he could have kept playing. It's just weird to me. Go Bills!

it's like this spaz, the league reviewed his case for about five minutes and told him he was still going to be suspended. So he comes back and pulls his protest, since it didn't make a difference either way, and the league doesn't have to come out with another statement saying he is suspended and peppers and his team save a little face.

That and the fact that if he kept his appeal he probably would've started out next season suspended, thus he gets to go into next year on a clean slate.

As for Zevo's "best DE in the league" I don't know about that. Yea, he's had a great season, but 12 games does not make him the best. He's solid and a looks to have a great future, but a lot remains to be seen.

You are correct. He didn't want to miss any games last season.
Peppers is going to be a star in this league. It's a shame he was suspended, he could have made a run at Kearse's rookie sack record.

In an interview he said how much he wanted to finish playing the season. But not once did he ever say he was sorry for letting down his team.

He is stupid for taking something banned, he could have had it cleared by the team, but he did not do anything 'wrong'.

Freaking watered down ephidrine.

Was it straight ephidrine to get a little boost before a game or was it in the cold medicine he took after the cold e got during those cold nights in Carolina. lol.

What really stinks for him is he is going to lose a ton of cash in bonus by not being able to play. Wonder if it was worth it?

It was a diet pill he took before the preseason. The banned ingredient was NOT on the list. He will definitely double check next time.

He is a great player and will hopefully get pro bowl.

:Scratch: I dont think he was worried about missing any games last season. Since he wasnt in the league. Maybe he was worried, I dont know.
