Big Turk Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Its so easy to beat the substance abuse testing in the NFL these guys have to be idiots to get caught...its designed to give the appearance they are policing things when in reality there are gaping holes in the testing periods where guys can do whatever and not worry about it... If guys get caught, they are simply idiots and it shows a lot about their intelligence levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoPar_v2 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Already suspended an entire season correct? So next one is indefinite. Who needs those mid round picks though amirite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearwater cadet Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I would have traded for that guy in a second. Thought we would have learned his lesson. What with some of these players. I can't believe they would throw there career . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 There were some people here that wanted to trade a high round pick or player for this player........ It just goes to show you that the guys that pay their bills running the football team MIGHT just know a little more then we do on given situations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Should I point out that some people just cannot kick the pot habit or should I avoid the ensuing 4 pages of crap espousing its virtues? I'll decide later but I think I'll avoid the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll decide later but I think I'll avoid the whole thing. ...true......it's a huge dichotomy of sorts....look at it from an employer/employee relationship.....when the employee is "in the care, custody and control of the employer (ie. work hours)", employer has a set of standards that will be maintained as a "condition of employment"....outside that control parameter, employee is on their own time......certainly true that employer can have a "Code of Conduct" during off hours if drugs, alcohol, etc result in violation of laws (DWI, assault, murder, etc) that is detrimental to the company...so why does the NFL get to operate in a 24/7/365 purview?.....seems to be an unreasonable condition of employment.....why isn't "care, custody & control" defined as the start of mandatory OTA's and ends when you team's season ends?.....sure random test during that period, but why after the season is done or before mandatory OTA's?.....I missed something I guess....

Gruden would love him Except Josh acknowledges his problem and is actually an unreal player...perhaps top 3 at WR in the league when he is on his game. Martavis is all talent no brains on or off the field. Josh is a screw-up who puts it together every time he steps on the field. 7 hours ago, 4merper4mer said: Should I point out that some people just cannot kick the pot habit or should I avoid the ensuing 4 pages of crap espousing its virtues? I'll decide later but I think I'll avoid the whole thing. That's a fair statement. I do believe that some of these players are using it for the right reasons. Football is very hard on the body. It is very hard on the mind. Pot is fantastic at removing the mind from the body and relaxing you. However, it is a banned substance and if the league where you are paid very handsomely to play is saying no, then the answer is no. Don't do it.

Occams shaver is that we were interested in taking the risk but we’re more interested in risking Benjamin’s knees at a slight premium than Bryant’s decision making. Raiders likewise were interested in the risk and simply were on the unlucky end of it so far (though it didn’t cost them terribly much)... and last year didn’t pan out all that great for KB either.

So you really think Bryant fits the process huh? or does tying him to the bills simply because we lack name we talent seem much more plausible by the way I never meant to knock anyone on it I just don’t believe every rumor posted especially if it does not appear to fit the profile of the team we seem to be trying to biuldbuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Boy i wonder what those here that wanted the Bills to bring him here think now that he has this hovering over him ?? With his actions prior to the trade i didn't think he was a Mc Bean guy !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
