I've never been so impressed with a pro atheletes physique in my life, that guy is absolutely amazing. What are all your thoughts on the juice/growth scandal surrounding him... I find it hard to believe he hasn't done something personally.

He's done a lot...guaranteed. But he's not that good a player, so unfortunately, that's the only press he's gonna get. -
He would be a good player if his whole career he didnt have Plumber and Brees throwing to him. He would have great stats if playing elsewhere.Comment

If Brees keeps sucking, he'll have Doug Flutie throwing to him, so there'll be no excuses then.Comment

agreed. not only that, regardless of how you guys think he looks, he would not do good on a bodybuilding stage either. i just dont understand what he is doing.Originally posted by hitmansb

SAN DIEGO -- The 0-3 San Diego Chargers sent wide receiver David Boston home before practice on Wednesday as a disciplinary measure, and it's likely that he will receive a team suspension Thursday.
Boston met with coach Marty Schottenheimer Wednesday and was told to leave practice while his future was discussed. A decision will be announced Thursday morning.
Schottenheimer was guarded in his comments about Boston, who signed a $47 million contract as a free agent in March.
"David and I had a discussion and in the course of the discussion, thought we ought to have this day [off], and he's been excused for a matter that is not related to the medical part of it," Schottenheimer said.
General manager A.J. Smith wouldn't be more specific, but did say that it wasn't one incident that led to Boston's being sent home, but rather, "it's several things."
"Let's just say we've got some guidelines here to adhere to," Smith said. "And David wasn't meeting them to our expectations."
Boston was one of the marquee free agents this offseason. He signed a seven-year, $47 million contract that includes $12 million of guarantees. The Chargers had hoped that Boston, who weighs 247 pounds and runs a 4.3 40, could break big plays when defenses ganged up to stop halfback LaDainian Tomlinson.
"There is no suspension yet," said Smith, who said he expects Boston back on Thursday.
Boston, a Pro Bowl selection with Arizona in 2001, has made nearly as much news off the field as on it since joining the Chargers.
Boston recently wanted 10 days to rest a heel injury, and the team reluctantly gave him the 10 days along with one missed game to get his heel better.
The relationship between the Boston and the team have been unraveling for weeks. Should Boston be suspended by the Chargers, it will be for an accumulation of incidents such as being late for meetings and not conforming to team rules and policies.
For example, on Sunday, before the Chargers' 24-10 loss to Baltimore, Boston had a verbal exchange with an injured teammate, wide receiver Reche Caldwell, but the incident was not considered a major one. Then, in his return to action, Boston caught six passes for 91 yards.
The previous Sunday, when he sat out a 37-13 loss to Denver with a bruised heel, Boston was caught leaving the bench area before the end of the game. He also declined to join his teammates in the locker room for Schottenheimer's postgame speech. Following that game, he declined to speak to reporters.
Boston has proven an elusive figure who rarely spends time with teammates, preferring instead to meet with his personal trainer for hours every day. Boston has bulked up considerably in the last two seasons, making many speculate about his possible use of steroids, but he has repeatedly denied using performance-enhancing drugs.
Schottenheimer expects Boston to play Sunday in Oakland, but to do so Boston needs to practice Thursday or Friday, which is one of Schottenheimer's many rules. Boston didn't play in the home opener because of his bruised heel, after not practicing in the week leading up to the game.
"He would certainly have to be a part of one of those days," Schottenheimer said.
The team has the option of keeping Boston on the active roster or suspending him for one or more games. The timing couldn't be worse, though. The Chargers visit the Raiders Sunday. Caldwell is out with a wrist injury and Tim Dwight is questionable with a knee injury. Eric Parker, an undrafted free agent from last season, could end up being the team's No. 1 receiver if Boston is not available.

i've actually researched it... and the man just eats perfectly and gets all the exact amounts of nutrients, he has a trainer test his blood every five seconds and he gets IV's for whatever nutrients he's missing. For once an athlete works on himself and doesn't use crack or beat women and everybody gives him shit. He spends his millions on diet and trainers and not benzes and crap. Everybody hating on Boston is just jealous, and no he's not on anything because he gets piss tested ten times a year by the league! Its too bad he's been held back all season by Brees, with Flutie at the helm he's put up 400 yards and 4 scores in 3 games. And you can ask woodson, nobody wants to line up across from him and he NEVER gets jammed at the line because there isn't a linebacker even in the league that could. I only wish i ran a 4.3 forty and weighed what a d-lineman weighs... he's playing the wrong position.... I'd put him at linebacker and let a d-coordinator try to stop THAT pass rush....Comment

lariq, being piss tested 10 times a year doesn't stop anything, there is a way around everything.. I'm not saying he's on gear or what not.. but I'm just saying there is no way that testing is going to prove it.Comment
