uncle flap Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Good article related to this topic. Yes, it's bleacher report, but it's written by Mike Freeman, who is an outstanding writer. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2486218-banned-but-bountiful-marijuana-coveted-by-nfl-players-as-invaluable-painkiller The players interviewed, as well as several assistant coaches, said they believe the NFL and union have a "wink-wink type deal," as one player put it, where both sides actually don't want tougher marijuana testing because they believe so many players would flunk tests. (The NFL and union deny any type of secret arrangement.) "If you tested the players during the season every week," one assistant coach said, "we wouldn't be able to field a league. We'd have to merge with the CFL." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'll never understand why weed is illegal. Because crooked politicians, law enforcement, etc wouldn't need to be paid off if it wasn't illegal and we wouldn't want that would we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops. Although driving 143 mph with a 12 year old kid in the car, who probably was not yours considering you're 24, a loaded handgun and odor of marijuana, doesn't seem so bad, does it?

Kelly the Dog Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 That would surprise me. As bad as it is, an all pro would need to literally be banned or have multiple years in jail for that to happen Agreed. He may get a year suspension tacked on to the four games. I doubt his career is over. The NFL, however, has to be shaking their heads, going how stupid can these guys be? ALL of us have been saying that for years, but it really does seem like it is getting worse. Not to mention, you can only imagine that it was a friend of his, the dad of the 12 year old in the car with him. Maybe not but it's an easy assumption. How the hell does a dad let his 12 year-old in a car, with the guys smoking weed, and racing 143 mph? That guy should be put in jail. Jesus.

I know the Jets found out today. But obviously Shellie knew he was in serious trouble and this arrest was not going to go away. I have to believe he said it before the word came out in the news, but that he meant after the arrest thing, you are not going to see my name.

Augie Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 The League should mandate Pintos for all these guys. Stop the 143 mph madness! Beware every time you get in a car, it just may explode.

jrb2590 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It disgusts me that the league doesn't kick these idiots out of the league. They should also be required to give all of the money they made to charity for being so stupid and careless. Easily could have killed himself or others that night. Turning your lights off at night while and speeding over 130 mph? Insanity. Put the man in jail. Playing in the NFL is a privilege and these guys take it for granted. It just blows my mind. He will get his suspension and then return to making tens of millions of dollars. Makes me sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
