New Orleans Saints kicker Garrett Hartley says he expects to serve a four-game suspension when the regular season begins because he
tested positive for a stimulant.
Hartley says he obtained the Adderall prescription pills from a former college friend and used it to help him stay awake while driving from Dallas to New Orleans for an offseason workout.
Hartley says he was unaware that the stimulant was on the NFL's list of banned substances.
But apparently Hartley did know that they weren't prescribed to him, right? But that's not an issue. Hrmph. Okay. Gotcha. So noted for future reference. (I won't even get pedantic about pronoun use in the second graf.) And Adderall for driving? Weak sauce. Two convenience-store coffees with a pH of around negative-eleventy will get you from Dallas to N'awlins and you'll still be jacked enough to wash your car.
Still,
John Carney returns to the NFL at the age of 45 to step in for Skeeter Von Drivehappy. Good God, son, your unique user ID in the ESPN database is 43 and you're older than that. (And Simoneau's on IR before the season starts; feh.)
