I don't think legality is even an issue. Many players, like Seantrell Henderson, could easily get a prescription for medicinal marijuana, or CBD, but the league will not allow it even if prescribed by a legitimate Doctor. It is legal in many places the US, but still on the list. As an example, the World Doping Agency or whatever it is called (which is usually pretty strict) has already legalized CBD, but as I said earlier, I believe the NFL is planning on using this as a bargaining chip, otherwise they would have already taken it off of the banned list.

I respectfully disagree. Completely. There are tons of studies out there about the effectiveness cannibis of for pain relief. Marijuana is not just limited to smoking a joint and getting high. There is plenty of evidence that CBD, which does not cause a high at all, does interact with the brain to cause pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects. This is available through oils, balms, drops, gummies, pills etc. I have heard interviews with many former NFL players, such as Kyle Turley, who swear that CBD helped break their addiction to opioids and effectively saved their lives. In spite of the fact that CBD does not "get you high" it is still on the NFL banned substance list. So again, I disagree with your argument that there are no beneficial effects that would come from removing marijuana from the banned list, or at least altering the language to allow CBD usage. (honestly not sure if that is possible or not or if tests could differentiate.)

If it is truly just a weed problem, I know plenty of people who have very successful careers and are daily weed users as well. They just don't work in an industry that tests for it. I get the feeling with Gordon that it is a bit more than a desire to get high daily that is the problem. Although, not being able to stop, even when it jeopardizes yips livelihood, is concerning in and of itself.

That is freaking awesome. I have a son who is not a big hugger either, so I have seen that expression before. -

I guess he’s ready to focus on his coaching career now that his son is in the NFL. That would have been fun! -
Who Should Be Fired
buffaloboyinATL replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It has been proven time and again that the only way to succeed in this league is to constantly turn over your GM and coaching staff so that the players don’t get complacent. I have not done any research to back this up but I’m sure I’m right. ? -

buffaloboyinATL replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I always wondered if they were in the players around them that they are mic’d up. it was funny when he told Anderson the feds were hot and then said I’n Mic’d up today. ? -
Lol check out these patriot fans comments
buffaloboyinATL replied to Lafromboise's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Actually, those were the real fans, but there weren’t many of them. Anyone since 2001 are just Championship chasers. They will move on to the next dynasty soon. -

Agreed. Funny how most/all of them are from many years ago. The show is just not the same to me any more... -
