NFL - "Do I believe it? I don't know how much tea he drank. I have no clue," Zimmer told Brian Murphy of the Pioneer Press. "I don't have any doubt why there'd be skepticism, but he told me that he wasn't [drinking]. That it was legit."
Zimmer said he spoke with Floyd over the phone after news broke that he violated the terms of his DUI conviction.
"I said, 'If I find out you're lying to me, I'm going to cut you,'" Zimmer said.
Floyd told Scottsdale officials the positive test results stemmed from his consumption of kombucha tea, which he didn't realize contained alcohol.
I just wanted to put that little tidbit from an NFL.com article published yesterday back into the attention before we talk about Michael Floyd and his Kombucha Tea defense.
The Vikings have to cut Michael Floyd now, right? They signed him on the presumption that he would be playing 16 games and that he did not lie to them about drinking alcohol, but after this appeal and then the unsuccessful defense of his claim that he was just drinking copious amounts of Kombucha Tea, it might be time for this experiment to be done.
Michael Floyd has been suspended 4 games. Officially. Signed and sealed.
The Vikings have a decision to make now.
