Mr. WEO Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hardly a stretch he did. We all know about the wrist. Sorry if I got it wrong, but you almost seem to be implying he got them off the street. Vicodin (hydroxycodone) are reportedly handed out pretty freely and regularly after the game, so the players can numb their pain enough to sleep, all legal Interesting article, scroll down to the sidebar on the right "Excerpts from players who took the survey" Telling excerpts: It's what you have to do to play. You have to play through injuries. In last five years, I got a shot of Toradol before EVERY game" "To get meds, opioids, all players had to do was ask the team doctor and they would give medicines, no questions asked." "They used to give us the pills. We didn't need a [prescription]. I had to take shots to play and after games they would dump three or four Percocets in my hands to take for the ride home." That is illegal. A physician can't dole out controlled substances to people without a prescription. Likewise, it is illegal to possess prescription narcotics without a valid prescription. I hope Mario gets out in front of this, right now he looks profoundly bad. I'm not even questioning all the stuff he did with her, just the nativity that he's shown is palpable. Good looking out from his lawyer though, did he go with the public defender. He's getting skewered in the media and he's got no one to blame but himself. Are the Bills going to get involved PR wise? He's a part of there brand and its taking a beating right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 IMO, Mario should walk away from this. He can replace the money with the right moves, easy enough. However, having your personal life dragged through the media is not as easy to overcome, especially for someone who is apparently some level of bi-polar.

NoSaint Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Toradol is a non-steroidal antiinflammatory. Yep, it's handed out pretty freely in the NFL. It can have serious side effects, including sudden onset after a period of use with no problems.

I had to take shots to play and after games they would dump three or four Percocets in my hands to take for the ride home." 3 or 4 percosets supports the contention that 5 isn't much for these guys. i think youve been in our toradol thread here.... pretty much nothing would surprise me with regards to what these guys go through for "treatment" That is illegal. A physician can't dole out controlled substances to people without a prescription. Likewise, it is illegal to possess prescription narcotics without a valid prescription. it is illegal, and id guess happens in many locker rooms. id also guess team doctors hand out prescriptions like we wouldnt believe too.

There is no ace in the hole, Saint. This has gone through discovery, by the sounds of it, and he's had plenty of time to anticipate what she would claim and counter it. Nothing yet 3 days after "suicidal texts" are revealed. I haven't seen anything describing what he has been able to document regarding their relationship, yet she seems to have some damning documentation. He sounds like he has serious psycholigical issues, and perhaps a narcotic addiction. When he says he's taking hydrocodone and "nobody knows"--that suggests to me he didn't get it from the doctor...

Who would tell someone else, in the middle of an emotional argument suggesting suicidal ideation that they are taking their narcotics exactly as their doctor prescribed? In fact, why else would he even mention that no one knows he's taking it (his prescribing doctor would certainly already know/assume he's taking it)?

#34fan Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Episodes like this are arguments for controlled, legalized, prostitution. Why let some skank ruin your life, when you can rent one for an hour, then get back to focusing on whats important? Now Mario needs a psychiatrist, when all he needed in the beginning was a skilled head-doctor. Edited May 20, 2013 by #34fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I've been following Mario on twitter, and he's tweeted one thing since last July. Something on the Boston Marathon bombings. He's now tweeted 5 times in the last 30 minutes. All of them are longer than the 140 characters. This was his last one: To God be the glory I'm still here I'm still so strong, You should know better than to think efforts like these affect me or anything for that matter. IM IN THE BUSINESS OF LIVING A LIFE OF JOY AND HAPPINESS! BUSINESS IS BOOMING!! Here's another one: The true character of someone is always revealed in times that we don't typically agree with. In these times it's how you respond and portray yourself to others that shows the ethics, character and true morals of a person. What's shown speaks for itself! And, his Big Bad Wolf got completed today. I think he bought a drone: Wow... Hope he doesn't bring that thing on his way back through to Houston via water. I might want to sink it! ;-) ;-) Big Bad Wolf, can you swim? Meet 1.5 million gallons of water... Plastic, meet concrete and steel! ;-) ;-) Anyway... Hope he knows which way to go on the Niagara river... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#34fan Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Nice boat!!! Let's hope some floozy doesn't own it in a couple years due to his abundance of "JOY", and utter lack of common sense. Edited May 20, 2013 by #34fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, why else would he even mention that no one knows he's taking it (his prescribing doctor would certainly already know/assume he's taking it)? fair enough.... but a few notes - 1)it was an emotional argument, we dont even know it was true... he may have just been trying to get a reaction 2) it was threatened that he would take more, so while taking a double dose wouldve been a no-no technically, no one would truly know how many he had taken (except he told her so obviously people now know, so the statements worthless in the first place). "ive taken a full dose that no one knew about and now im about to do more" as a mouthing off, angry statement isnt thaaaat unrealistic. 3) its also possible hes under the "take as needed, max of X in Y hours to control pain" orders so unless he explicitly tells someone that hes taken them, no one would know unless he told them? You know the medical ins and outs better than i so i dont know if that would be a realistic instruction for the specific prescription but it sounds pretty reasonable in my head. 4) who knows, i dont think its much worth arguing over.

C.Biscuit97 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Am I the only one who thinks this is a good thing? When I break up with a girl, I try to get into the best shape possible and just improve myself. A pissed off and motivated Mario could be amazing. Also, I hope someone mentions that Jerry Sullivan called Mario a loser on the morning show today. I'd love to see see Mario confront that Milhouse looking mofo.

Doc Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 If this drags out any longer, his ex-fiancee is going to end up owing the ring to the lawyer. Unlike Mario, she doesn't have $50M in the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
