Raiders' Aldon Smith waits for reinstatement .... and waits ... and waits ....
Aldon Smith is “mad and frustrated” that his efforts to get reinstated to the NFL seem to have hit a standstill. The suspended Raiders linebacker met with Commissioner Roger Goodell last Friday and expected to hear something by now, but he hasn’t.
Smith and his personal trainer, Steven Fotion, posted a picture of themselves on Twitter on Thursday afternoon, saying “how unprofessional NFL, disappointed fans want to know yes or no.” Later, Fotion said on the telephone that Smith was “too angry to talk and was afraid he would start yelling.”

“He is losing hope,” Fotion said. “They are jerking him around, telling him they’ll have an answer for him on Monday. And then nothing. It seems unprofessional.”
Smith’s yearlong Stage Three suspension for violating the league’s rules on substance abuse ended Nov. 17. He applied for reinstatement Oct. 3.
