NFL Suspends Mike Anderson

mdierk — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 19:35:52 -0000

I stumbled across this today when looking for some Horse Tracks articles. There wasn't much else going on but It needed to be reported. See here

Mike Anderson was the best story in football in 2000, a 27-year-old rookie and Marine Corps veteran who came out of nowhere to rush for 1,487 yards and win the league's rookie of the year award with the Denver Broncos.

Anderson spent five more seasons with the Broncos and then the last two with the Baltimore Ravens, but he never matched that level of success, and he's not currently under contract to any NFL team. And now no team could play him in 2008, even if they wanted to.

Howard Balzer of Sports XChange is reporting (via PFT) that Anderson has been suspended for one year, apparently for a violation of the league's substance-abuse policy. He was previously suspended four games in 2003 for a violation of the substance-abuse policy.

Realistically, this suspension means his career is over no one is going to sign a 35-year-old running back coming off a yearlong suspension. It's a disappointing end for a career that had such a great beginning.

What a sad way to end a career! He was a critical player for the Broncos after TD's knee injuries. Thanks for your service in the USMC and the Broncos. Please get some help!
