KDIGGZ Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Did anyone see Antonio Brown on NFL Live just now? I hope they post up a video of it. I would bet any money that the guy was high as a kite. His eyes were glassy, he was having trouble keeping them open and focusing (he was weirdly opening them really wide over and over again at the beginning of the interview), he was slurring his words and he seemed super "relaxed." I thought nah couldn't be, so I googled it and sure enough there has been rumors that Brown and others on the team smoke weed to help them heal and relieve stress during the season. In fact, it was Ryan Clark who is now an analyst with ESPN that called them out on it: http://www.si.com/nfl/audibles/2014/04/28/steelers-antonio-brown-ryan-clark-marijuana-use Did anyone else see it? *EDIT* found the video: https://twitter.com/Scores_Replays/status/665322819052371968 Edited November 14, 2015 by kdiggz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Considering 2 of his teammates (3 if you count Blount from last year) have been recently suspended for it, sounds about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Based on only that clip you posted, it looks more to me like he's goofing off with someone off camera, but who knows. Lots of professional athletes partake as a part of their pain management. It's far less addictive and has fewer side effects than "legal" pain killers, so it wouldn't surprise me.

And honestly there are numerous players who said the prescription pain killers they ate like candy made them batsheet crazy half the time. I know requirements for medical marijuana are a standup comedy joke but I think there is a legitimate argument to be made for NFL players having a real need.

It's not a performance enhancer in any way, the NFL should treat it like the NBA does. Especially now considering it's legal in Colorado, home of one of the NFL's 32 teams.

And it's legal but extremely confusing in DC, but the 'Skins are in MD anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of professional athletes partake as a part of their pain management. It's far less addictive and has fewer side effects than "legal" pain killers, so it wouldn't surprise me. There was nobody else in the room. There was a pic from behind of him in a room with a camera on a tripod, so I don't think that's it. If you watch the whole video it's clear he's trying to keep his eyes open. Like if your parents come in the room and you are trying to not act drunk/high and you overcompensate. Yea I think it can be a good natural pain management aid but it's illegal and it would be a shame if he was randomly drug tested and suspended while the Steelers are in the middle of the playoff hunt. Anyone know the phone number for the NFL offices? Edited November 13, 2015 by kdiggz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Of course he gets high, would any sober person get that haircut? And I didn't see the interview but based on that clip he doesn't look high, just looks like he's goofing off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
