Victorious and uplifting
“Brah, someone tried to steal our stash, so I reported it to the cops.”.
“You mean these cops?”.
welcome to the typical life of a college kid……………… are people living in denial now???not saying its right, just the facts!!!
And just like that the kid misses out on a couple hundred thousand dollars and a chance to play in the NFL, when will they learn…
LOL, google Jack Crawford, Penn State, and it all makes sense.
waste
Ashes in plastic baggies and bud in a blue towel? I think I know whats going on here..
I hear the Packers already made the kid an offer.
Drug testing as part of pre-employment screening happens in many employment settings. Is it part of the NFL’s? If not, it should be……….
a blue towel with buds and a scale??? They caught TOWELIE!!!
FREE TOWELIE!!
“Crawford WAS projected as a late-round pick in next month’s draft.”
Fixed.
You can confiscate malt liquor?
You always gotta have a grinder or hoagie or foot-long hero with your stuff.
sounds like the average college apartment to me
GUESS HE’LL BE PLAYING FOR THE BENGALS!!
WHO DEY!
My guess is that the Pennsylvania state penal (the giggling my begin in 3…2…1) system will be drafting the first DE and WR this year. And why put ashes in a plastic baggie? All they needed to do is rinse their ashtray once a day.
Seriously, what idiots. How stupid can a person be to call the police and keep illegal items out on display? Maybe they were twacked out. The only other thing I can think is someone had beef with one of them and called the police pretending to be them in hopes of getting them in trouble. Guy’s career is over before it even started; Roger Goodell will make sure of it.
who cares big deal poke smot
The question then becomes, was it his or his roomate? Anyhow you cut it both are SOL.
at least he wasnt nekked in the shower ……happy valley has standards ya know
don’t ruin your career young man!
So instead of finding the burglar and recovering a citizen’s stolen property, these men are served with charges stemming from victimless misdemeanors.
This is our tax dollars at work. Instead of these policemen being on patrol and preventing another burglary, they are investigating college kids and recreational drugs. Move along.
Now he’s not a pick in next months draft.
Seriously who gives a crap? Pretty much EVERYONE has smoked pot or still does. Hell, our Presidents smoke pot, who really cares if an athlete smokes pot? Its definitely not a performance enhancing drug. Id rather they smoke some pot and be lazy than do some roids and become homicidal.
Its time people get over the whole taboo of marijuana being so naughty. Just because its illegal does not make it dangerous or worthy of ruining ones life. Remember alcohol once was prohibited and is now legal, it just takes time and fighting and its near.
Legalize it.
Hurricane Malt Liquor?
I wondered why that was included. Is he under 21?
Hurricane malt liquor and blue towels are against the law?
Sounds all set to transfer his headlines to the NFL!!
I would have to drop him as much for stupidity as for the drug use. What kind of foolishness does it take to call the police to your apartment to say you have been burglarized and leave your drugs in plain sight ??
I just read the linked story and it appears it was a dorm residence advisor that originally called the police because of a damaged window that looked suspicious. So I have to retract my comment about how stupid they were to call police to their own apartment.
Also a good chance the original entry by police might be ruled improper and the evidence from the warrant thrown out.
In any event I doubt the marijuana issue will be a major issue for him come draft time. No idea where he is projected to go.
A blue towel with buds and a scale?
Have you boys seen a talking towel anywhere? Nevermind, I’m gonna go back to playing my new Okama Gamesphere…
Towelie? that blue towel is not a good role model.
Livin LARGE
So what, they found weed??? These are college kids. It’s not like they found any really drugs… What a complete waste of tax payer dollars. Why even post this?
– the warrant identifies “blunts, a bottle of Hurricane malt liquor, a bottle of prescription medication, a grinder, a plastic bag containing marijuana ash, a blue towel with buds and a scale.” –
What did the police see that was out-of-the-ordinary for a college apartment that justified a search warrant ?
If you’re going to report a burglary, make sure all your “stuff” is put up!
“Crawford is projected as an UDFA in next month’s draft.”
Fixed to reflect current status post-search.
Oops, I mean “to go undrafted”.
I should have had my cup of coffee first.
OMG, athletes smoking weed! Next they’ll start having unprotected sex with attractive young women!
“blunts, a bottle of Hurricane malt liquor, a bottle of prescription medication, a grinder, a plastic bag containing marijuana ash, a blue towel with buds and a scale.”
dam this sounds like Temple. Hurricane+ Orange Juice= Urban Mamosa
Wait, let me get this straight. You call the police to report a burglary, but you don’t bother to hid your drug paraphernalia first? Someone is clearly lacking in the brains department. I’m surprised the cops even bothered to get a warrant for these items. Typically, once they are invited into a home, they are allowed to collect anything “in plain sight.”
“Crawford is projected as a late-round pick in next month’s draft.”
Not any more….
Crawford is projected as a late-round pick in next month’s draft.
Not so fast my friends…
Forget about this Penn State dumbazz…what ever happened to one of the biggest NCAA drug stings/hauls in US history found at Texas Christian University a few months ago?
OH NO! Not weed and booze! He’s a lost cause. He’s morally corrupt. I hate to do it, but I need to quote the great Roger Rabbit, “puh puh puh please”. I don’t know the laws in that state but here in the Emerald City, we’ve moved passed this.
So what ? Michael Floyd was caught driving around wasted and he’ll be a 1st round pick. This kid apparently likes to smoke pot in his house.
Who cares, weed is awesome, legalize it already.
Probably should change that to “Crawford WAS projected as a late-round pick in next month’s draft”
Oh no watch out… Hes a weed smoker. Hes gonna hit people with his car like Stallworth or violently assault people… oh wait, thats the legal stuff they sell everywhere. Not that illegal substance that doesnt do harm to households and pedestrians.
Not anymore…can you say undrafted free agent
When will these dummies learn?
And now we know why Crawford was such an underachiever at PSU… too busy with his side projects… of dealing drugs.
In the immortal words of Rick Perry … oops.
I hope it was worth it, but something tells me it wasn’t, duh.
Towlie!!!
As time marches on, these incidents of cannabis possession are going to be more commonplace. Why? Of all the items listed that were found, the cannabis is the least of the kid’s worries. You ever do wind sprints hungover? Yeah, me neither. I know I’ll get thumbs down but I really don’t care. Speeding is illegal too, yet that doesn’t stop most from doing it. If I’m a professional athlete, then I’ll choose cannabis over alcohol any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
How much weed? Obviously enough to warrant a scale. Also, what was in the script bottle? This might not be a simple case of a college kid getting baked and playing xbox in the privacy of his apartment. I support legalization but it isn’t worth missing out on the NFL payday.
“Crawford, who is taking online courses toward earning his degree in Anthropology…”
Lulz
Paterno is gone, so it’s a free-for-all now. Let’s see if Coach BO’B has the same philosophy as JoePa concerning criminal activity by players. We Are…Too Late!
Blunts and Malt Liquor… I’m guessing it was the wide receiver. That sounds like the Santonio Holmes diet. Tone’s eyes are ALWAYS red as a fire truck for a reason. This young buck is just trying to follow the program.
Jesus Christ really? What a waste of time IT’S JUST WEED!!!
Crawford is not expected to be drafted next month.
Some gms might be impressed with the grinder and the scale . Very diligent
I’m sure ricky Williams dorm had gonja plants cultivating and the aints traded the whole draft for him. No story here
They found a scale as well, a couple blunts might be forgiveable, scale! guessing they were distributing as well
“Crawford is projected as a late-round pick in next month’s draft.”
Probably not anymore
Pot may not be addictive and it may be less harmful than alcohol, except for the one little, tiny side effect! People who are high on pot are incredibly STUPID!!!

Do I hear undrafted free agent?
Could be a good value signing for Ted Thompson.
What would the cops find in your apartment, contra74?
…so other than the prescription medication, if it isn’t prescribed to anyone in the apartment, is the only thing that should be considered a big deal here. Smoking weed has become “the norm” and will be legal in the very near future, so it’s time to stop punishing people for it. yea yea, I know, it’s still illegal, but I’m tired of my government enforcing laws created around narrow minded conservative religious values that I don’t believe in. This is supposed to be the land of the free.
Sounds like a major drug bust. Hail!
Haha googled him,
He must have heard that joke,
The one that knocks your eyebrows off
People who sell pot just sell it to smoke for free. It is not a ‘lucrative business’. Marijuana may be ‘illegal’, but it does have therapeutic tendencies. At least he wasn’t popping pills or selling them, those are what really mess you up. Keep blazing, my man. Just don’t worry and be happy.
