Well, just when you thought things were looking up for the Purple, it was announced today that both Pat Williams and Kevin Williams have been suspended for the remaining four games of the regular season. Both will be inactive until Dec. 29 due to taking diuretics (water pills) that can serve as masking agents for certain types of steroids. Though the Williams' vehemently declare they were taking the pills only to lose weight (Pat has a case there, Kevin not so much), it is EXPLICITLY stated in the NFL's drug and foreign substances policy that those types of pills are not acceptable. Thus, it leads to one of two conclusions: 1. They both are trying to cover up steroid use; or 2. They both are idiots.
The Vikes still should be able to beat Detroit on Sunday even without the Williams Wall, but those final three games against Arizona, Atlanta (Michael Turner), and New York (Brandon Jacobs and Co.) are now seriously in jeopardy.
But hey, look on the bright side...no arrests were made. Just lies and deceit.
