    I approve....although I still can't actually approve the issue, remember?

    Okay, I'm fine with this.  Need Mr. sport's editor to approve now.

    I totally agree with the revision, I noticed that with Belichick.  (Some thought it wasn't appropriate for opposite reasons -- too lenient, too harsh.)

    Probably needs a hyphen -- "five-game suspension."  I don't think we need to spell out HGH.

    Let's not make the same mistake we made with the Belichick issue.  We need to add...

    Yes
    No, it was too harsh
    No, it was too light

    Let's decide on the appropriate terminology there and then approve this.  Also, he was punished for receiving and using, I thought?  Let's clear this up...

    Wiki

    On September 1, 2007, Wilson was suspended five games and fined $100,000 for purchasing and using performance-enhancing drugs. [2] In his defense, Wilson has said that the drug (HGH) was used to help his problem with diabetes.

    It wasn't for using HGH, technically. It was for receiving a shipment.

    Hmmm. Might as well keep HGH. Was Wade Wilson's 5 game suspension for using HGH appropriate?

    Should Wade Wilson have been suspended for 5 games for using HGH? (don't care if we spell it out or not).  It may not be as commonly known as I think.
