Mike Doss (S), IND

News: In an unexpected move, the NFL reduced the suspension to be served by Colts' safety Mike Doss. Doss will now only have to sit out one game, instead of the two games the league originally ordered him to miss. The reduction in penalty came after Doss appealed the suspension.

In June, Doss was suspended by the league for violating the league's personal conduct policy, for an incident outside of a restaurant in Akron, Ohio. According to documents, Doss fired a weapon outside the restaurant. He was arrested on a misdemeanor gun charge, for which he pleaded no contest.

He is eligible to play in the September 18 game against Jacksonville. The league says that the only way he will be eligible to play in the Week 2 game is if he meets a certain set of conditions set by the league. The league did not announce the conditions. But, if he does not meet the conditions, he will be forced to sit out in the Week 2 game.

Views: This is an interesting story not because Mike Doss is a huge name, but because the league actually reduced a suspension. The league reducing the suspension on a gun incident is, possibly, setting a precedent that the league will regret somewhere down the line. But, we will have to wait and see.

You are only wrong about one thing,and is that Mike Doss is a huge name. Maybe not right now in the NFL but in college football he was one of the best safetys in history and the one of seven Ohio State Players to recieve all-american honors three years in a row. So you should watch him more often because you no nothing about him!

I do hope you know that the news is old...right?
