He could tell Goodell that he got jumped by a gang of midgets who traveled back in time for the future, they tied him up, and held him hostage for just long enough to miss the tests and Goodell will believe him just to avoid punishing the Steelers.

It gets better:


Don't they make you take IQ tests at the combine?  This dude is even more delusional than Steelers fans on here.

And the NFL executive says the same thing that I've been saying for a long time, and that's that the Steelers get away with whatever they want because they're the Steelers:


Finally someone else calls them out for being the trash that they are.

If he actually skates the suspension, I will agree with you (pending the entire story), but until then it all seems like a witch hunt. If he does get suspended then there is no way to complain about the Steelers getting preferential treatment. Bryant is missing this entire year for substance abuse so it isn't like everything is being swept under the rug. 

The quotes in the article are almost entirely about how the media is portraying the story. The media making excuses does not equal the NFL letting the Steelers get away with incidents other teams would be in trouble for. The media can say whatever they want.  

If he does get suspended it means two of their top 10 players are missing a combined 20 games so what exactly would they be getting away with here? Let's not forget this is the same team that had their best two players suspended in the past. One happening with a someone who wasn't even charged and the other got fined seemingly 10 times for hits other players were not getting fined for. Oh, and if the Steelers were getting preferential treatment then why was Bell suspended last year?
