KD in CA Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Once again - think of Randy Moss (30 for 30: Rand U) He was high during high school and college games. Why not the NFL? You've surmised that 25% of NFL players are high during games based on Randy Moss supposedly being high in high school and college?

BringBackFergy Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 You've surmised that 25% of NFL players are high during games based on Randy Moss supposedly being high in high school and college?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?")
LI_Bills Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 So when you make $600,000 per game, you feel stressed out and need something to take the edge off? Got it. So people only smoke weed when they're stressed out? Got it.
nedboy7 Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) LOL with your thinking they should be smoking crack and meth the whole week leading up to the game. And then they can take the head off their opponent Edited August 2, 2017 by nedboy7
BringBackFergy Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 So people only smoke weed when they're stressed out? Got it. Wait...I thought you were the one who said they smoke after games in order to relax and unwind? Are you ready for bed? Because you need to finish your homework before you go to bed. Now go finish your homework. LOL with your thinking they should be smoking crack and meth the whole week leading up to the game. And then they can take the head off their opponent Do you have anything that resembles constructive input or just generic snarkiness?
nedboy7 Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) You know what the problem with current society is. People dont respect expert opinion. Everyone thinks they know pretty much everything. Edited August 2, 2017 by nedboy7

LI_Bills Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Wait...I thought you were the one who said they smoke after games in order to relax and unwind? I don't think I said that. My assumption (and this is pure speculation) is that they smoke after games. Why do I think that? Because I don't see how it can help if it's a pre-game ritual. By the same token, my assumption is that players who drink a lot and are getting DWI's are probably not drinking pre-game.

As far as I know, ETOH (whether pre-game or post-game) isn't illegal.
BuffaloBud420 Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 How does testing once per year prevent players smoking on their way to the stadium? Players are not tested regularly unless they are already in the league's drug program (for failing a previous test). They could theoretically smoke on their way to the stadium right now, and since they won't have to take another drug test until next year, how would the coach know? So again, it would be no different than it is now. It's random. So yes it does. Many players have been caught and suspended. You have no idea what the point is, do you? I'd think you'd be on the side of reason here, but even that escapes you. You have no clue. The point is i don't want Bills players practicing or playing high.
John from Riverside Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 If Seantrel is up the 340....he is doing SOMETHING right
BuffaloBud420 Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 We smoke it cause we like the feeling, the same reason we drink. Bottom line is there is a time and place for it. Not sure all players are responsible enough to do that
Sig1Hunter Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 But the high lasts for an hour or two. Marijuana has many chemical components. Canabidol, or CBD, is where many of the medicinal benefits come from but you can't get a buzz from it. So, legalize strains that are high in CBD and low in THC. If the medical mj movement is TRULY about medicine, do that. It's not, though. By and large, it's an excuse for people to get high.

BuffaloBud420 Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Much better that he be in constant pain Don't play football then. Your still going to be in pain when the high wears off. He puts himself at further risk playing and practicing high. You are not as aware.
zonabb Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 ...why do NFL guys smoke it? Are they that stressed out? Don't they want to be more upbeat and on edge as a player? I haven't smoked it (more of a beer guy), but the effects of pot (from what others have said) is contrary to what NFL players should be looking for in terms of their approach to the game (relaxed vs detail oriented). Am I wrong? This post and subsequent comments by your are dripping with suburban ignorance, bias, and prejudice. If you're coming here, of all places, to get your information on the effects of weed, you need to spread your internet wings beyond TBD. Jesus. Do some research. And take the foil hat off, it's not 1955.
LI_Bills Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 As far as I know, ETOH (whether pre-game or post-game) isn't illegal. Maybe I missed the point of your post. I thought you were questioning why a player would smoke weed when it could negatively affect his performance. I merely suggested that it was a post-game thing that wouldn't affect his performance and made a comparison to drinking.
