Simply a drug that is listed as a masking agent for steroids. It still could just very well be what the players have said. They were just taking some weight-loss pills. Of course, we won't know anything more until the league makes a decision. Just a correction: the Vikings players have not tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug.

Their defense is inconsistent and the offense has several mental lapses per game - Rodgers' INTs, penalties, conservative play calling, etc. They could still pull out a division win, but they need to play sharp football to do it. That means not wasting any offensive possessions and getting their defense off the field on third downs. If they can't make the playoffs this season, Woodson and Harris will only be a year older next season - I feel like we are wasting their last, best years. (Thought they didn't look very good last night.) The Packers are just not a very good team.
