Suspension Blotter: I'd say this is probably the one Incarcerated Bob was talking about?

• New York Giants:  Golden Tate:  4 games, failed drug test -- he is appealing, saying the test was failed for something he was taking for fertility planning...

WTF?

And the travails continue, not only for the Giants, but also for more suspensions...

That's about a $1.8 million hit directly, and voids two guaranteed years worth an additional $10 million.

Tate becomes, according to Spotrac, the thirtieth NFL player to be suspended or banned for drugs or personal conduct, and we're still a week from the Hall of Fame Game.

He also becomes the third player to take a seven-figure fine hit.

Seventeen teams now have players suspended.  

• Dallas has two (Irving had no contract when he retired), team fine the maximum $150,000 (15% of total, and just Randy Gregory has lost a million for his fourth suspension).
• Minnesota has two ($44,426 to the league).
• Indianapolis has two ($27,530 would be the fine).
• Four more teams would have fines if at least one of the suspensions didn't result in the player being fired before the suspension took effect (the Giants, Seattle, the Jets, and Oakland).
