How this for transparency?

Testers show up at James Harrisson's house for his random drug test, and he says he wants to film it.
He's told:

• No he can't
• If he does, it will count as a failed test
• Last tester, who allowed him to film a previous test, got fired

Today the NFL came to my house for another "random ped test." I was gonna record it like last…

Figures.

They make really small digital recorders these days. Just use one of those in say, a hat.

I feel like he doesn't give two shits what the league or anyone thinks. At 38 years old and still playing, he's playing with house money, and has no problem causing the league grief for stupid policies younger players keep their mouth shut about in order to keep their jobs.

I don't think he was interested in being sneaky about it. He wanted an answer from them, then (publicly) ask why and watch them squirm

They came to his house, and the NFL is dictating what he can and can not do in his own house?
Oh, man, I want to see him push that one.

Well, they're saying he can video it if he wants...but that counts as a failed test.

Harrison's Instagram is worth checking out

I would bet the CBA says you must follow the protocol of the testing agency or its a failed test. And I am sure the testing agency doesn't want a lot of videos of its work circulating around.

I think the CBA Drug Testing Policy has something about that there is a guy in charge of the testing who can use his discretion if he feels players are trying to intimidate the testers. He can then make up rules to keep his testers from feeling that way. I don't think it's actually in the CBA that it would be a failed test, just the part that the head guy can make the penalties what he wants. Or something to that effect.

If the worry is about testers feeling intimidated, they should WANT the entire episode videotaped, from their knock on the door to the door closing behind them. They should do the videotaping themselves, and provide the player with a copy if he wants it.

I would enjoy hearing the NFL's argument as to why videotaping effectively is prohibited, and why a "failed test" is the appropriates result if a player insists on taping it, even when the league has the sample it sought and the actual results from testing it.

Wait, so James Harrison wants to film his penis as he urinates?

Camera in one hand, dick in the other. Just like Brett Favre!

Uh oh, here comes Woody!*














*that's a pretty good triple entendre if I do say so myself

Why haven't they? Simple answer, they haven't figured out how to monetize it. Now that this is out in the open, if the NFL figures there's interest, you can guarantee they'll find a way to package the tests.

Main question is will they live stream them, or package all the tests from a team into a 1 hour show and put into 32 separate PPV shows?

Kind of like what Harrison's doing here, kind of like what he's doing.

this! it was all agreed to in the cba and that's the way it will stay until next time. it they want to change things they'll do it then if all parties agree to it.

Live stream of a live stream. Now that's monetizing everything you can!
