I remember that about Mathis too. I think he also said at the time that he knew it would result in a positive test but he essentially didn’t care as he was more concerned about the benefit for his family. Seems like the NFL may need to take a closer look at how fertility treatments are addressed in their testing policy.

Now that you mentioned it, I believe you are correct.

Where to target him in my FFB draft now......

Disappointed Antonio Brown decided to play - was hoping for a late flyer on him too.

Wow, yeah, the normal embed code isn't working either. That's straight from Youtube. Something must me messed up with IE. Here's the link:

I noticed last night that GT also wears a small ND sticker on the back of his helmet. I had no idea that was even allowed, and quite honestly, I am surprised it is.

Golden Tate is a Notre Dame Man.

My fantasy football team name is Golden Is Thy Tate and my avatar is a picture of him jumping into the MSU band. Dude has always been a boss who plays with swagger. He is exactly who you want as a WR.

It was to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the first CFB game. Every player had them. Pretty cool. Not as cool as Tates catch though!

Dunno how I missed this, but Golden Tate was signed to the Titan's practice squad yesterday (11/23/21) after he was released earlier this year by the Giants.

[EDIT] This first one doesn't embed.

In the 2nd play (Lions v. Vikings) on that highlight reel, Tate stiff-arms Harrison Smith into the dirt before scoring the TD.

You never had to ask GT if he wanted any mustard.

Queue the leap into the MSU band.

He has to have some of the strongest hands amongst WR of his era. Gotta believe his baseball background played a part.

Strongest hands and best sense of body control, period.

I don't think he was ever the victim of a clean solo tackle. He usually made one guy miss, made the second one hang on for dear life, then scooted his way to the sidelines with additional defenders arriving and draping themselves all over him, and he STILL wouldn't go to the ground.

Loved seeing one on one coverage and Jimmy just looking at him saying LFG.

If we only could stop someone. Clausen, Tate, and Floyd were unreal.

If only Clausen and Tate came back for their senior season. They could have made the difference between a 7-5 regular season and an 11-1 regular season (lone loss to Stanford, but could be a win with those guys).

Drake London reminded me of Michael Floyd earlier this year. Literally, nobody could cover Floyd.

Nice! I always contended that his CF skills translated to his WR skills as he had some of the strongest hands of an WR I’ve seen. Dude could catch anything.

I suspect he’s doing this for fun considering his age. Torii Hunter Jr is still toiling in AAA in the Angels organization. I know he played a little at ND (mostly pinch-running IIRC) but probably didn’t take it seriously until his football career was over.
