Well, here's finally some more good sports news...

Wes Welker eligible to return

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- With the terms of a new drug policy now in place, wide receiver Wes Welker returned to the Denver Broncos Friday night and is eligible to play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs if the team chooses to put him in the lineup, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

As negotiations went through the week between NFL and NFL Players Association officials, the Broncos had planned for a potential change in the drug policy that would allow for Welker's re-instatement. The Broncos carried just 52 players on the roster through the week after they released wide receiver Nathan Palmer on Tuesday.

I wish the NFL, and other U.S. sports leagues were tougher on those who use drugs to get a benefit like Welker, or half the Seattle team.
