Mr. WEO Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Lots of players get hooked when they take them for injuries. Then it's just a lifestyle, because these guys are basically injured for the rest of their lives. It's no excuse for his poor play though, many good/great players have the same problem. Bret Favre comes to mind. It's way more common than the NFL wants the fans to know. Coaches too--ask Sean Payton.
Geno Smith's Arm Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 The key difference here is that JaMarcus wasn't hooked on painkillers, an addiction brought on by the treatment of the excessive pain of playing football, but was busted with a recreational drug that people use to get high. I don't know that much about purple drank, but my sense is that it's not something you use to recover from a torn ACL, or the chronic muscle and joint pain that football players suffer from, and treat with strong drugs. I can't be sure of his motivations, but it will certainly kill the pain.
Bufcomments Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Is this a surprise? That he got busted for syrup?? What an idiot. First he threw away an NFL career now this. No wonder he was not all there in the head as far as the playbook is concerned. He was to drunk to study.

starrymessenger Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Not all that different. They both fall into the class of a narcotic. Just different narcotics... Percocet is a synthetic derivative of morphine I believe. Was on it for a couple of months after hip surgery. Really enjoyed being sick. Problem is the withdrawal symptoms. Not worth the ride. Wonder how ballplayers deal with it. Just take more Percocet I guess. Not a great decision IMO. JR is pathetic.
billsfan_34 Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Him and Lynch could smoke and joke in a car on Chippewa. Actually, they would be smokin and jokin on peach street.
Skoobydum Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Purple Drank makes you fat, LOL. Russell posted bail after police arrested him for allegedly possessing the illegal drug codeine. Codeine is used to produce a beverage called "purple drank" that is dangerous and can lead to weight gain.
The Dean Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Actually, they would be smokin and jokin on peach street. So, would drinking some purple dank on Peach Street be considered a "Fruit Belt"?
DrDawkinstein Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 So, would drinking some purple dank on Peach Street be considered a "Fruit Belt"? purple dRank. as in drink, drank, drunk. also known as lean, sizzurp (syrup), or just drank. now, there is such a thing as purple dank, which i think you and i would be more interested in. but the syrup is purple drank.

Ahh. thanks for the correction.
DrDawkinstein Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Ahh. thanks for the correction. no worries, would just hate to see you place a "wrong order" and end up with something you didnt want
The Dean Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 no worries, would just hate to see you place a "wrong order" and end up with something you didnt want Yup. I got ya. Of course, I'd probably prefer whatever I would get had I ordered "purple dank".
DC Tom Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Yup. I got ya. Of course, I'd probably prefer whatever I would get had I ordered "purple dank". Because if you order a "purple dank", who knows what you'll end up drinkling.
albany c2 Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 seriously i dont blame jamarcus for gettin high you have to be numb to watch any raiders games....honestly us bills fans could really try it every sunday.... it might be a fun 2010-2011 season haaa since theres nothing but senseless chatter in the offseason.....does anyone remember travis henry? remember when he played a full game on a broken leg.....
bbb Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Why do they bother mixing in Sprite and all kinds of other sweet stuff. Why not just drink the cough syrup?.......Although, either way, it's a losing proposition
DrDawkinstein Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Why do they bother mixing in Sprite and all kinds of other sweet stuff. Why not just drink the cough syrup?.......Although, either way, it's a losing proposition same reason people mix sprite and other mixers with booze. so girls drink it.
bbb Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 same reason people mix sprite and other mixers with booze. so girls drink it. Ah - now it makes sense!
