Per the other thread...Sheldon Richardson suspended for four games for marijuana. Apparently the FOURTH time he has failed a drug test.

Hilarious.  There is your NFL news dump.  This is unlike the Pats stuff, which they actually are quite proud of.

Yes and yes.
 
To be fair, the public loves a good Pats bad news story so that gets middle of the week treatment.

I hate when people leak the type of drug that was used for suspension.  I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Manish Metha.  The NFL doesn't say what the player tested positive for so who is the source of marijuana?  Probably the player or agent.  If I got busted for cocaine, I would do everything possible to leak that it was only pot.  Same reason every player confesses to adderall use when when he tests positive for PEDs.  Sounds a hell of a lot better than admitting to a deca/winstrol stack which might be the actual reason for the failed test.

I'm actually surprised we didn't hear anything about Brady today.

Whispers on Twitter that there's more NFL news to come tomorrow.
“@MattWintner: Heard form a reliable source that more NFL news may be announced tomorrow, which would also encompass domestic violence related suspensions.”

These didn't leak until 4 pm yesterday. Would assume it's similar today.

I was with someone tonight who has a hand in these things. Was especially funny to see him randomly get a text about Andrew Quarless' recent brouhaha. Didn't give much up on Brady outside of saying he didn't have some answers for the cross exam.

Which makes sense if you're being asked about something you have no idea about.
