Finally the NFL struck down on the "diet pills" issue and they came down hard when teams didnt need it.
Deuce McAllister, Will Smith of New Orleans, Pat and Kevin Williams of Minnesota are now suspended for the last four games of the year.
For the Saints, McAllister isnt a huge lost because Pierre Thomas has been playing well as of late and Reggie Bush should be returning to the starting lineup soon. But what it does do is unless of a home playoff game (highly unlikely) results that Deuce has played his last game in New Orleans. A sad story for a guy who is the franchise leader in rushing touchdown and a guy whose been a large part of the franchise for the last ten years. Smith is a good player and his rush on defense will be missed as well.
For the Vikings, they get to enjoy their division lead for maybe a day as they give a big rut-roh as they now face some tough opponents in Arizona and Atlanta with mighty tough rush offense. Now they are without arguably top of the top ten defensive tackles for the rest of the season. Does this smell like a typical Viking December collapse, I think so.
