Wayne Arnold Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm upset too but honestly - is there a bigger joke out there today than the NFL's substance abuse policy? This coming from a league that makes billions of dollars on human beings knocking their heads together and destroying their brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davspo Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) You know nothing about him. And I bet you won't trade positions with him either. What are you talking about. This guy had the audacity to complain about his contract. He gets his cash and now does this stuff. I think I know enough about him to make a judgment that he is selfish and immature at best, and just doesn't care at worst. This team invested a boatload of money in him and he has no respect for the team or his teammates. P.S.: I would trade him for a reasonable deal. This will happen again. It's happened twice already. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Edited August 16, 2016 by davspo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Is NY one of those 2 states? Stop making excuses for weed. Just because it has stoners lobbying for it to be legal does not make it right. It is also against the NFL's rules. If he has straightened his life out and got off the pot and is suspended for missing a test I sort of feel bad for him. Even if he is smoking I understand his addiction might be tough to kick but he has to look out for himself and his income. That is a lot of money to piss away so he can get his fix. That in another self is proof that pot is tough to kick. Pot isn't any more addictive than watching television or checking your Twitter on your iPhone. You're really out of touch.

That in another self is proof that pot is tough to kick. If you read my initial post, I was agreeing with you. I believe the tough penalties by the NFL against weed to be harsh. Nonetheless, it is still a law. Like speeding. Everyone speeds. Don't be mad when you're pulled over. Like weed. If you smoke it, don't be surprised if you're suspended for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Can't wait to see how the fans treat Dareus at the last two night camp practices. That could get ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 And just because you think it's wrong doesn't make it so, either. Yeesh. Dude I get it with the tie dye avatar and all but it's not just me. I don't make laws. I follow them as a member of society. I've seen it ruin several lives and see no reason to open up that misery on others by making it legal. If the hippies win and get it legalized then so be it. And before you start in with the anti-booze rant I get that too, but the law is the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Almost everyone close to him has died (grandma, mom, dad, mentor, brother). Again, he is like the only player I actually feel bad for. He's not a bad guy at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I mis-read it. I thought you were saying pot was no big deal sort of like speeding is no big deal. Obviously there is a big difference and I'm glad you see that.
