They had to resort to a back-up. Dallas began to blitz more, but Chicago made them play with quick slants. Dallas had to back-off.

Because supplements often contain shit not on the labels(or you just don't read them)

The industry is completely unregulated. The NFL maintains a list of “approved supplements” and there is supposed to be a number players can call to get questions answered about supplements so there really is no excuse. It doesn’t mean I can’t see it happening…not that it matters because people will refuse to believe that he wasn’t actively using steroids no matter what.

I don't disagree at all

I’m not saying he isn’t a dumb ass, only that it is possible he’s telling the truth. I don’t really believe him, but I have no way of knowing one way or the other with 100% certainty…so I don’t see the point in jumping to conclusions and I’m not arrogant enough to think that my opinion is as good as fact even though I think he’s more than likely been juicing. I can’t think of one good reason to use a supplement that isn’t on the approved list. I would like to know what he tested positive for though. If it was a weight loss type thing vs. steroids I do think that changes things somewhat…at least in relation to how disappointed I am in him.

 A starter for my team is suspended four games. The only thing I care about right now is how Butler will do over the next four games.

I just get annoyed by how everyone always wants to paint everything in black and white usually based on their feelings on the matter at hand. Not just on this subject, but in general. People seem to make up their minds in about 30 seconds and then refuse to change them. I find that frustrating whether it’s about which player should start, which player sucks, Politics, or any other subject.

Scouting Report from TMZPN insider

Comment: After missing the entire 2008 season, Butler returned to play in all 16 games in 2009 as a backup. He is a good-sized lineman with above-average initial quickness and adequate agility and body control. Butler is not a natural knee bender and will struggle to keep his pad level down to leverage blocks. He lacks the lower-body strength and bulk to hunker down against a good bull rush and will give ground too easily. He has a tendency to let his weight get too far forward and falls off more blocks than you’d like. He is still developing his techniques and needs to do a better job of using his hands to control opponents.
