Rubes Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 I still can't believe this is a guy Ditka traded ALL of his draft picks for.
ExWNYer Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Not that I enjoy a team in our division going through off season pain, but if Brady were to announce he's leaving football for a career in ballet, this would be a great week. 607086[/snapback] "Brady announces he's leaving football for a career in ballet." - Boston Globe Link
eball Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Is it random for a guy like him? He tested positive before... That means they can check him any time they like after that... In the fed we get tested all the time... Seems I didn't have to get tested for a while then had to go one time... The next three times they called me also... Same for other people... Seems once you go the first time, the next are in rapid order. Could be random... Doesn't seem like it though. And need I say... I always tested clean! 607078[/snapback] Check your sarcasm monitor, Exiled...
timmyk12 Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 This report is actually funnier consider that Dolphins management was going to try to trade him this offseason for a high draft pick. Another pick may have given them leverage to trade up to take Jay Cutler.
CoachChuckDickerson Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 The only reason Ricky came back is because he retired and then the Fins tried to recoup their money. So Ricky came back to play for a year and got suspended for weed again, this way he doesn't play and still gets his cash. Really the man is quite brilliant.
Ramius Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 I believe all he had to do was play 1 more year for the Dols and he got to keep his bonus money. I'm sure this was all planned on his part. Don't cry for him. 607093[/snapback] The only reason Ricky came back is because he retired and then the Fins tried to recoup their money.

Ricky didnt want to play ball, but owed the fins 9 mil. By playing one year, ricky no longer has to pay the fins. So he goes back to smoking weed, and will probably retire again so he can continue smoking. He gets what he wants, and no longer owes the fins 9 million. Win-win for him.
Draconator Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 FEEL BAD FOR THE GUY, THROWING AWAY HIS CAREER OVER SOME WEED. 607026[/snapback] why should i feel sorry for him for smoking weed? you're the one that needs sympathy, with your crystal meth problem and all... (evidenced with your constant use of the caps lock key).

IDBillzFan Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 FEEL BAD FOR THE GUY, THROWING AWAY HIS CAREER OVER SOME WEED. 607026[/snapback] Feel bad for you, too. Intentionally ignoring every !@#$ing person who repeatedly told you at least once to lose the all-upper-case posts for every one of your sixty six posts. Not sure if you're that !@#$ing stupid or if you're just that !@#$ing stupid. I realize it's great that they have new Macs at Woodbury Elementary, Skippy, but if you could possibly type like a normal human being, I'll bet more than a few people will be grateful.
PromoTheRobot Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Personally I feel weed ought to be decriminalized. It's no worse than alcohol, assuming you don't try to drive a car or anything. It certainly isn't a performance enhancer. Having said that, if I were getting paid millions of dollars, I could lay off the chronic until I retired. PTR

Orton's Arm Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 This is as much of a surprise as the arm starting another "JP sucks" thread. 607166[/snapback] Thanks for putting that idea in my head!
Orton's Arm Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 I wish the world would get the sticks outta their butts about weed...there are so much worse things...some of you anal people need to lighten up. 607096[/snapback] Yeah, 'cause collectively we've done such a good job with the recreational narcotics we've already legalized. It's not like anyone drives drunk, or exposes anyone to secondhand cigarette smoke, or smokes or drinks while pregnant. Anyway, we need a to legalize substance that helps people escape reality, because there are too few ways to do that right now!
SilverNRed Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Would have been more of a news story if he PASSED! 607116[/snapback]
SACTOBILLSFAN Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Shouldn't be grounds to remove him from his profession. Stupid rule anyhow. 607089[/snapback] If i fail a drug test i get removed from my profession? This is exactly the attitude that lets OJ off. Follow the goddamn rules and you don't have this problem.
seq004 Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 What's left of his career just went up in smoke.
meazza Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 if he can't stop smoking chronic, maybe he should have tried out for the NBA

Thats news to me. Shouldn't you be making a post about how JP failed a spelling test in 4th grade or something?
Sanjosebillsfan Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 I am not surprised that he did it again.

The whole debate of legalize or not is an entirely other issue on its own but as i am an every day smoker, if i'd have a million dollar a year salary and my conditions were to stop smoking pot, i'd stop in a heartbeat.
