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.

CBD is on the NFL banned list, despite the lobbying by many former players for a change. My guess is, the NFL will consider a change in the next CBA negotiation, and use the removal from the banned list as a bargaining chip to get something they want in return.

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.)

more importantly, which ones wore gloves?

Yeah? Well this year he better buy them at Tiffany's cause he is not going to win one for them.

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.

Wow. I know it is easier said than done, but I am always amazed when guys can’t get out of their own way in situations like this. i really hope he figures this thing out.

How bout a watch with GPS, to find someone to block.

I guess he’s ready to focus on his coaching career now that his son is in the NFL. That would have been fun!

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. ?

So you’re saying there were not 9 mistakes before him?

The Packers just signed Allen Lazard from Iowa State. I was intrigued by him prior to the draft. I believe they signed him off of Jags practice squad.

Always strive to be the best...

If they win out and Pats* lose out, who wins the division? (not sure who has the tie-breakers right now)

I like what I've seen so far.

I agree with this, BUT, if you knew we were going to win one of them, which one would you want it to be. (and why)

I am not sure to be honest because I ALWAYS want the Bills to beat the Pats* but the allure of being the one to keep the Fins out of the play-offs, especially after the way the last game went down, is really powerful right now.

Maybe they need to start training with fake knives like Aaron Donald does...

I am honestly torn right now, but the chance that we could make things very difficult on the Pats* and possibly even give the Jets a chance to hold them to 9-7 makes the game next Sunday the one I want to win if we were only going to win one. Thoughts?

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. ?

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.

100% Barkley without hesitation. They will draft their QB of the future this year. There is not another Barkley in next years draft.

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