Seriously though, you have to be some kind of INSANE to not put down the bong for a few contacts totaling over a hundred million $$ easily. The guy was a bonafide superstar WR talent. The dumb rule is archaic, but so is not accepting gazillions of dollars to not smoke for ten years, and then live the rest of you live on a freaking weed farm if that’s what turns you on. 2 Quote

Weird thing is he was a supplemental draft pick by Cleveland, teams knew he had issues, the Browns took a chance. He was suspended 2.5 seasons in Cleveland. They finally gave up on him ( had to). I wonder if he was with GB, NE, Pittsburgh, he gets the same treatment by Goodell....my guess is no. Quote

Not defending the nfl but you are mixing things that used to happen but has been changed with other things happening today Quote

After "holding his breath" for a few years he could have retired to Weed, CA or Grass Valley (Ricky Williams territory) and smoked to his heart's content. 6 hours ago, DrBob806 said: Weird thing is he was a supplemental draft pick by Cleveland, teams knew he had issues, the Browns took a chance.

All the players know the week it's scheduled so they just have to stop smoking for a couple weeks leading up to it and can do it all they want after. So he knew the test was coming and still failed. 2 Quote
Bill from NYC Posted May 28 Posted May 28 This is shocking news. By all accounts he was a great kid at Alabama. Saban loved him. At one point he was living in a car with his father and siblings in some Oklahoma ghetto. Josh was only a three star who only made the Alabama team when another player fell through at the last minute. I heard him in numerous interviews and always sensed that he was a great kid. He was said to have worked as hard as any Alabama player. I believe this because he was never even actually their #1 RB. Seriously. I don't, and will not excuse him from blame if he is guilty of any of those charges. The whole thing saddens me and I hope that the victim is OK and Josh can get himself together. 2 2 Quote

I'm not sure why this narrative still exists that anyone other than him is responsible for the downfall of his career. 1 Quote

Maybe so but he's been in the public eye for a decade now and his only prior incident wound up as a speeding ticket because his blood alcohol level was found to be within the legal limit. That wasn't a team sponsored snow job. I suspect many of us have been there. I'd wait to see the details before coming to any conclusions. Quote

It depends players who are in the intervention program can get regularly tested at random Players not in the program have a scheduled date so they can work around it 1 Quote

He’s not a judge in a court of law or protecting society - he’s guarding j shield. We have other systems that have utterly failed holding guys accountable for their societal transgressions 1) integrity of the product 2) marketability of the product 3) morality Quote
