Am I the only one that’s really tired of hearing about athletes smoking weed? It’s obvious and rampant in professional sports just as it is in society. Isn’t it a little hypocritical to penalize athletes for doing something that is non-performance enhancing and generally accepted as no big deal while accepting millions of advertising dollars from beer companies? If they want to smoke some weed and chill out as a large percentage of Americans now do, what’s the big deal?
——————————–
The big deal is it’s illegal and against the law. So, no it’s not hypocritical to punish an athlete just like I would be punished in my civilian job and my Air Force reserve job if I were caught. The difference is I would be fired from both whereas he only gets suspended.

Draft Kahlil and Jenkins with their top two picks, get an FA WR, and hope that Harvin/Jenkins/FA/Burton/6th round draft pick can come together to make a decent WR corp.

Is it me or is it Spielmen only looking at FA’s that have had something happen to them the past year to bring down their market value?

Kind of like asking for a discount on a dented can of soup. Its still a can of soup.

It’s going to be interesting for a few years and I’ve become immune to all the haters and smack talkers. Might as well give them something to talk about and hope for the best.

With Simpson, the dope travels through the mail.

Nobody is going to argue that it gives them a competitive edge are they?………That said, shipping two pounds of weed to your house is just stupid and you deserve what you get. :)
