Truth!!!!!!

The dive bar where that gal was buying you Pabst Blue Ribbons last time...don't you remember?

September 10th you'll be buying rounds in the Van Miller Club.

More shocked you found a wife (did she voluntarily say her vows or did you dub in her consent via the PA system?)

Not sure what your source is but I read the meeting minutes from the subsequent Owners' retreat in New Orleans (may have been back in 2009) and the argument ensued wherein the owners tabled further discussion re. ownership in the same city because it would violate the anti-trust at the local level. Since the discussion was tabled, it really has never been resolved in Pegula's favor. Hence, the reason why he has floated a trial balloon about Hamilton, ONT being a viable location for an outdoor stadium (Hamilton is outside the 50 mile radius contemplated by the NFL rules).

Has Schefter obtained the MRI films yet?

My wife is a lightweight as far as drinking...and she hates seafood. I scored big time!!

12 pack of IPA and 18 pack of Labatts Blue Light each week in the summer...I'd say total of $30 Bottles of Gin, Tequila and Captn Morgans each summer...$80 Red wine...$40 month Averages out to $160-180/month

Thankfully, Florio doesn't know about the rule against one person owning two professional franchises in the same city. That little nugget has been swept under the rug and should stay there for decades.

I never root for a guy to get injured...then I think about Jarvis Landry's hit on AW and have bad thoughts.

Perhaps more intriguing is this: Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill walked off the practice field with trainers. Miami already has one key injury this week in RB Jay Ajayi.

Good point. Never thought of it that way. ?? I'm not the smartest guy in the room. Sorry. Didn't understand this post.

You mean they weren't prescribed by a doctor? That's weird. How did those kids get them?

You skipped a step...how did they get to Vicodin and Oxy? My point is, probably by starting with something less potent and wanting to increase that effect.

There's one thing that I keep thinking about when reading this thread: a client of mine (unfortunately) who went to college and studied physics. He was brilliant in high school and smoked pot. Great parents. While at college he continued to smoke weed but began to dabble in other things (smoking weed, then crack cocaine, then the heroin). Next thing I know, he crashes into a few cars one night because he is unconscious. The cops revive him and he goes to inpatient where he graduates and is discharged. I get a great deal for him all ready to go to court and I get a call that he crashed into another person's garage because he collapsed behind the wheel on heroin again (not two weeks after being discharged). Another client of mine smoked a lot of weed since high school...same idea. Arranged for a great deal for him on a reckless driving charge and took the plea. He moved out of state and just heard that he was arrested on a felony charge for distribution in NC. I guess I see the bad side of marijuana use more and more as opposed to the cool, chill, relaxed college kids enjoying it (which, again, I really don't mind and didn't mind when I was that age). The more cases I see, the more I'm convinced it is a gateway type drug that drives the user to find a better/more dramatic "high" (leading to heroin, crack, pills, etc). I understand not all recreational users will follow that gateway into bad drugs, but some do.

I wasn't the one who said "non-smokers" are prejudiced by relying on a 1970's White House counsel memoir....the tinfoil hat crowd loves them some conspiracy stories.

See? That's the type of response I was referring to..."You must be dumb and ignorant because no one does pot before games. Do your research Fergy you ignorant dope!" http://nypost.com/2016/09/18/i-played-stoned-some-nfl-players-love-getting-high-before-kickoff/amp/ When a rule is in place and some choose to use weed even though the employer bans it, how is discussing that ignorant? When someone breaks the law, is it ignorance to point this out? Just trying to decipher your logic calling someone ignorant.

Let me say this: I have friends that smoke pot and know I don't and they are still good friends. I sense from some of the responses here that some of you guys can't fathom how someone chose not to smoke because it was illegal when I was younger (and still is). If I can't be part of your "club" or clique, I'm sorry you feel that way. Talk about prejudice.

If they smoke after games and on days off (in states where it is currently legal) I don't see a problem with it. There are players that smoke before games....that's where I'm confused. It's a pain reliever, mellowing agent in a sport that requires cat-like reflexes. Good attempt.

Your comment (not to mention the other guy above) is dripping with condescension. Is there a way to have a reasonable discussion without the preachiness vibe?

Prejudice???? Lol. You serious?

As far as I know, ETOH (whether pre-game or post-game) isn't illegal.

Sounds that way.

Wait...I thought you were the one who said they smoke after games in order to relax and unwind? Do you have anything that resembles constructive input or just generic snarkiness?

I'm using the same percentages that you use in claiming they don't. Based on our own #99, I'm think my estimate is conservative. As for the argument that the incidence rate goes down as the stakes get higher, once again, refer to #99's $100 million contract ("how could he do such a thing?")
