a bigger problem: he won’t make it in the NFL if he can’t do anything other than special teams.

Tell that to Matthew Slater

any notion that it’s evil, evil pot standing between him and having a great life seems bizarre and, yes, outdated, especially given the NFL’s growing ambivalence toward the drug.

Just let the Seahawks draft him after Washington state passes the legalization bill (apparently it’s got a hell of a shot). Problem solved.

Just show enough decency and respect not to put yourself in a position to get caught.

To an extent LSU could’ve helped him out here. These things aren’t but so random. Last ‘in’ I had at a program was years ago but I remember being told on piss day Ahmad Brooks’ name never got called but Heath Miller did every time because the staff knew who was ‘safe’ and who wasn’t…Don’t know if I can put but so much stock in that as it’s admittedly a second hand story so take it for what it’s worth.

A day without mind-altering chemicals is a day that probably straight-up sucked.

Truth…and cheers to making sure today isn’t that day.

The SI author said he failed 3 drug tests, I think being a fucking idiot is what he needs to worry about most…Ty_Webb

Yeah, from what I understand this kind of thing is just like drinking underage in college. Everyone knows you do it. Just show enough decency and respect not to put yourself in a position to get caught.

drug rehabilitation with John Lucas

but he did so well with jamarcus russell!

But if giving up McDonald’s breakfast for 2 or 3 years was the only thing standing between me and a multi-million dollar contract, I would not only give it up completely, I would walk into a McDonald’s every morning, order the food, take a big smell of it, then give it back to them.

So no, I don’t think I have a whole lot of sympathy for Honey Badger.

a bigger problem: he won’t make it in the NFL if he can’t do anything other than special teams.

Bingo. He’s marginal in coverage, and really should play nickel. He gambles a lot, but he’s athletic to make it pay off when he does. Not sure how well that translates to the next level.

but you just said

Even if he doesn’t play another down of college football he’s a likely third-rounder in next year’s draft.)

And the NFL doesn’t consider marijuana use a draft-killer anymore. It just can’t. Don Banks got this quote from a league coach: “If you knocked everyone off your board who has experimented with weed, you’d lose about 20 percent of your board, not to mention disqualify a few recent presidents.”

so it doesn’t sound like anything is being torpedo’d.

I think pot should be legal, but its not. and against NCAA and I’m guessing team rules. He smoked, got caught, and got burned.

/pun!

But to torpedo his football career because he sparked up is laughable — or would be, anyway, if it weren’t so pointless and cruel.

Amen!
