Back to the topic at hand.  Other than 1010XL regurgitating speculation from Mark Long, is there any other source out there who is stating that Blackmon HAS applied for reinstatement and it's been denied?  With the July arrest, I'm thinking he's not eligible to apply yet, but there's nothing to indicate what the date was for him to be eligible to do so. 

 

I completely follow what you're saying and agree that skepticism can be justified.  At the same time, I don't personally think there's any reason for Long to be presenting misinformation.  In fact, Long was one of the first to break the news Blackmon had voluntarily sought rehab.  That, also was something he broke on 1010xl.

In Blackmon’s case, he was suspended on Nov. 1, 2013.
