Got this off the Charger's boards...loved this...
So, Merriman will be named to the Pro Bowl team for defensive feats done while using the same illegal substances that got him the four-game suspension. Also, unless the NFL hands down a special edict and the NFL Players Association acquiesces (ho-ho-ho!), Merriman will be eligible to be selected Defensive Player of the Year for those same feats.
Isn't that akin to Jack Abramoff being named Lobbyist of the Year?

You know what I find amusing about the entire NFL Steroid debate....Back when the story was breaking about steroids in Baseball...everyone was saying "The NFL has a steroid testing policy".....now its...."baseball is about historic records....the NFL is about speed and hitting"...so that makes it ok for NFL players.
It's either cheating, or not cheating, doesn't matter what sport. Either allow it, or give lifetime bans in every sport to those found guilty.
