If they did nothing wrong, they have nothing to fear.
I still think it's wrong that they even have to go through this.

Little choice to talk or sit. Either tack chosen was likely to end in suspension. Peppers has already been busted for PED's from way back if memory serves. Can't think of anything I could hold onto that would lead me to believe Clay isn't guilty. Yes, he's fooled his fair share of tests, for sure, but someone got the goods on him this time and he's going down.

James Harrison’s request for a televised interview actually makes sense

In his postgame comments during which he called Commissioner Roger Goodell a “crook,” Steelers linebacker James Harrison made a very good point about his upcoming PED interview.

“I wouldn’t have a problem with it being filmed live,” Harrison said. “I’ve been prosecuted and persecuted, you know, publicly in the media by them for something I didn’t do. So I don’t see why we couldn’t have the media there and do a live interview. They can ask whatever questions they want and I can answer them. You all can see whatever evidence they say they got.”

Interesting idea. It surprises that official hearings would not have some kind of court reporting recording the statements made.

Especially considering this bozo has already recanted his statements about both Peppers and Mathews.

The only place this is going is to court for defamation lawsuits and, yeah, someone is going to get busted but it's not going to be Peppers or Mathews.

I saw that MLB piece...but Goodell doesn't run MLB, and MLB seems to care a lot about the perception that PED's are destroying the game. The NFL is more of a place where everyone is doing it just like cheating in college football and every so often someone gets popped just for appearances.

BTW, I'm using circumstantial evidence as well as common sense in my view of Julius and Clay. What Al Jazeera reported isn't really all that relevant to me. I thought Clay, in particular, was a user from the time he got here. Julius was busted for ephedra during his rookie year. Does he use PED's? A guy his age trying to hang in the league to get his millions and win a title? I think the odds are better than not that he uses.

I think Harrison is setting conditions to just discuss the accusations in the Al Jazeera report, and is there even much of a case there? Again, I too am skeptical about their innocence, just not sure they'll get caught this way.

I would be surprised if Clay and Peppers aren't on roids.
