Pregame thread: Wk 16 Bills at Cheatriots
buffaloboyinATL replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That doesn’t mean we have to add to the constant ball washing they receive, but by all means, you go ahead. -
And you had a chance to try and talk them out of it...

Draft "misses" by Buffalo
buffaloboyinATL replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Every draft we let 31 players be selected in the 1st round by other teams. Unacceptable! -
I fully support the call. Wins and losses don't matter this season. We are practicing to be a "good team" right now, which will hopefully start paying off next season, so I think McD needs to start "stretching his legs" a little and see how the team responds. In other words, he needs to put Josh Allen, and others, in a position to push the boundaries between good and great, and see what the results are. Just my opinion of course, but I hope I'm right.

Look up some of the former players, like Kyle Turley, Jake Plummer, Eugene Monroe and many others who advocate for legal marijuana and CBD in the NFL. (and nationally) They say that these "medications" which in many cases don't even get you high, saved them from opioid addiction, suicidal thoughts, etc. and gave them back a quality of life. It is certainly worth investigating further by the NFL, and the federal government, in the very near future.

I don't think legality is even an issue. Many players, like Seantrell Henderson, could easily get a prescription for medicinal marijuana, or CBD, but the league will not allow it even if prescribed by a legitimate Doctor. It is legal in many places the US, but still on the list. As an example, the World Doping Agency or whatever it is called (which is usually pretty strict) has already legalized CBD, but as I said earlier, I believe the NFL is planning on using this as a bargaining chip, otherwise they would have already taken it off of the banned list.

I respectfully disagree. Completely. There are tons of studies out there about the effectiveness cannibis of for pain relief. Marijuana is not just limited to smoking a joint and getting high. There is plenty of evidence that CBD, which does not cause a high at all, does interact with the brain to cause pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects. This is available through oils, balms, drops, gummies, pills etc. I have heard interviews with many former NFL players, such as Kyle Turley, who swear that CBD helped break their addiction to opioids and effectively saved their lives. In spite of the fact that CBD does not "get you high" it is still on the NFL banned substance list. So again, I disagree with your argument that there are no beneficial effects that would come from removing marijuana from the banned list, or at least altering the language to allow CBD usage. (honestly not sure if that is possible or not or if tests could differentiate.)

If it is truly just a weed problem, I know plenty of people who have very successful careers and are daily weed users as well. They just don't work in an industry that tests for it. I get the feeling with Gordon that it is a bit more than a desire to get high daily that is the problem. Although, not being able to stop, even when it jeopardizes yips livelihood, is concerning in and of itself.

Return of the Meme for New England
buffaloboyinATL replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That is freaking awesome. I have a son who is not a big hugger either, so I have seen that expression before. -
Don Beebe-New HC at Aurora College
buffaloboyinATL replied to N.Y. Orangeman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I guess he’s ready to focus on his coaching career now that his son is in the NFL. That would have been fun! -
Who Should Be Fired
buffaloboyinATL replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It has been proven time and again that the only way to succeed in this league is to constantly turn over your GM and coaching staff so that the players don’t get complacent. I have not done any research to back this up but I’m sure I’m right. ? -

Ted Washington not impressed with Bills DL
buffaloboyinATL replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe they need to start training with fake knives like Aaron Donald does...
