The NFL has implemented random drug testing to insure that the steroids epidemic that has hit professional sports over the years is regulated in the league, but this may be going over the line a bit.
Washington Redskins back up quarterback Kirk Cousins tweeted that he was subjected to the random drug testing Wednesday, in the awkward friendly confines of his grandparent’s home:
NFL’s off-season drug testing at my grandma’s town-home! I’m all for a clean game but weird having a stranger watch u in your own bathroom

Talk about up close and personal. Makes you wonder where else the league might pop up with a clear cup and request you to relieve yourself on the spot.

If he tests positive he can say “I swear it had to have been Grandma’s brownies!”
Realy Herm??? I mean really, thats all you have?
Apparently that’s all anybody has. I don’t see any other comments here. You got any?
HERM wins!
quit being piss ant acting like the Miz and grow the fuck up
Talking bout invasion of privacy!!!
random means random. the money these guys make and they bitch about where their tested?
Heck Yeah…you getting paid millions and you whining about where you are being drug tested…get a real job and see how/where you get screwed…
When was the last time your “REAL JOB” came to your home and pissed you? Quit being a bunch of haters. It is a minor invasion of privacy having to submit to a urine test at your grandmothers home… put your self in his shoes. You don’t think he felt singled out having pee in a cup at his grandmas? I also don’t feel like he was whining, just stated what happened… bunch of got dam haters!!
The average schmuck really has no reason to use steroids to enhance performance in their real job…but if they ever did random testing for caffein…awe buddy. No hate but drug testing unfortunately comes with the territory and random drug testing keeps the black market for clean urine profitable. Liked the story – should have added that while his urine came back clean for steroids it had tested positive for male enhancement drug —Gramps was overheard telling Grammy I forgot to drink the tea…lighten up folks
The question is….were NFL officials following him around. I thought random meant when you were active with your team. Mini camps, training camps, anytime during the regular or pre season……at your grandma’s ?? Shameful…..
Actually Adam, since they are under contract with said team, that contract goes all year as does the (risk) of being tested.
Just another corporation in bed with congress. you folks do realize the power to control your consumption, your penis makes you property? That war was fought 150 years ago and just like the fake freedom then it’s even more fake today.
Lincoln with being the greatest of american traitors by killing his own countrymen with federal troops, resisted the notion of prohibitions enforced by gov’t before he became president.He made a great quote in 1840 run for congress you should look up.
These college boys selling out the gov’t's services to corporations[fascism] know little about sacrifice or freedom. I would dare say they are all experts in the field of sedition.
Transfats and sugary drinks in NY, steroids in sports and marijuana in your subdivision these wars on freedom are multi fronted. You notice they didn’t attack coke or pepsi , the drug companies or drug importers. They came straight to you the american citizen and said YOU are the problem.
That is the most incoherent mess of jargon of have attempted to read in quite some time. I am surprised no one else commented on it. I hope someone else could understand you end. President Lincold was probably our greatest leader. I really don’t comprehend where your linking him into NFL drug testing or the recent restrictions of sugary drink consumptions in NY and Kirk Cousins, but it was somewhat entertaining reading your ramblings.
There must may be a touch of the schizophrenic genetic link in the old DNA there, no?
Wow Michael. You hit the nail on the head. I couldn’t figure out for the life of me where that Lincoln thing was going. Then he throws in trans-fats and sugary drinks!!! Bottom line is that the NFL and it’s teams are employers and, as such, have every right to require drug testing. If any player doesn’t want to agree to their rules, don’t sign a contract and accept millions for playing football. All these players went to college and therefore perfectly free to go out and start applying for jobs just like anyone else. …I thought not.
Kind of odd they’d do this to a Backup QB. Oh yeah, that’s right, if RG3 is sidelined for 4 games, and they suspend Kirk for 4 games, it all makes sense. I’m sure Mara will get to play the Skins within the first 4 games. Freakin unreal. Goodell and Mara can go sit on their thumbs.
This test, though up unpleasant, and questionable, for a “back-up” quarterback, is what our Olympic athletes are subject to. I’m not saying I agree with ALL of the policies, but, I do agree, that ALL athletes (especially the “professional”) should be subject to “RANDOM” testing!! (This will create the “level” playing field, that we all are looking for, and demanding!! Namaste (-: (-:
what if he had a woody and Grandma was peeking thru the door???
i can see them picking him up and taking him to a team or medical facility. but showing up and doing it at your families home is very unprofessional.it would also make the player wonder if it was legit, who’s hands is it going thru prior to being tested,and as much as they want to witness you giving a sample, you should should be able to accompany that sample atleast to the testing site to ensure it wasnt tampered with. after all for millions they should be tested, but in your grandmas bathroom, by some guy that just shows up? doesnt sound like id feel ok about it either, or that it was done in a secure professional way. c’mon thats a million dollar job your talking about.
What is he had a Woody and Grandma was smoking a joint while watching the spice network?
Ha! It depends which grandparents he was visiting, but I know one set of his grandparents as they are from my–Dr. Ralph and Martha Jo, and I’m sure they were infull compliance. Trust me, Kirk Cousins would be the absolute last guy to use PEDs…
Oops–make that “they are from my home town in Iowa.” Great people–and he’s a great kid!
actually, ANN< they are not from iowa… they are from holland, michigan
go spin your worthless lies elsewhere
mmmm give me that job
