Tipster19 Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 How does this fit under the character umbrella? To me it's not a big deal. It's amazing how these slurs pop up last minute, now Marshawn Lynch is getting positive press. Somewheres in between lies the truth, doesn't it? http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/NFLDr...extra041807.htm

The Dean Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 I'd be more upset if they were college kids and DIDN'T smoke pot.
Pete Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 I'd be more upset if they were college kids and DIDN'T smoke pot. Cheers to that! Now where is my volcano?
HurlyBurly51 Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Didn't Sapp drop because of the same reports right before the draft?
Tipster19 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Posted April 19, 2007 Tipster? What happend to TIPSTER19? I dunno. I noticed that I was about the only one using caps so I thought I'd make it optic friendly. I didn't know any better when I first joined the 'wall, I was new to the internet and blogging. I think that I kind of like the caps though. Should I keep it this way or go back to old TIPSTER19?
Tipster19 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Posted April 19, 2007 Didn't Sapp drop because of the same reports right before the draft? It was reported that it was a phony rumor to drop his stock. Life sure ain't fair, is it?
The Big Cat Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 I'd be more upset if they were college kids and DIDN'T smoke pot. Haven't been a fan of the morphed pictures until now...actually Laughed Out Loud
ndmanley Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 It is a big deal if true because that puts them at Stage II in the drug testing policy. That means they will be drug tested more frequently (randomly) and if they test positive they will get a four game suspension.
The Dean Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Haven't been a fan of the morphed pictures until now...actually Laughed Out Loud Glad to hear it.

You're saying a true report of someone smoking pot in college puts them in Stage II in the NFL's drug testing policy?
ndirish1978 Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 I thought they had to get caught while in the NFL. It would seem putting someone in Stage II for behavior prior to getting drafting would be wrongfully discriminating against people who have made past mistakes. It leads to questions of where to draw the line... how far back to we go? Is a HS pot bust the same as a freshman year in college incident? For that matter how do we say a Freshman year incident isn't as bad as a Senior year failed test?
obie_wan Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Didn't Sapp drop because of the same reports right before the draft? Sapp dropped because he actually failed a drug test while playing for the U. The results of teh drug test somehow were hidden by the U coach (Erickson I believe). It was big deal because the info was released right before the draft.
Sketch Soland Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 I'd be more upset if they were college kids and DIDN'T smoke pot. No sh--! Next thread, please.
BUFFALOTONE Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Sapp dropped because he actually failed a drug test while playing for the U. The results of teh drug test somehow were hidden by the U coach (Erickson I believe). It was big deal because the info was released right before the draft. Sapp failed drug tests on numerous occassions. Not to brag but I actually got to hang out with Sapp while he was in Tampa through mutual friends and I have to tell you that this guy burnt the house down. He just sat there with some really good shiit and bong and proceeded to get ripped. I took 3 bingers and was done this guy was like a machine. Nice guy though.
tennesseeboy Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Actually Marv planted that rumor to get Okoye to drop into his clutches? Not!!!

Gotta love The U.
smokinandjokin Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 One of my best friends from Buffalo went to U of Wisconsin...I smoked the grass with Ron Dayne on three occasions in my visits there, including once during his Heisman season.... All I can say is that I would not want the five years I spent in college from ages 18-23 reported in the public spectrum. Crazy, crazy, crazy schit....
Beerball Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 BFD, three guys apparently answered an interview question honestly. I would not be even a little concerned about this. I would however wonder a tiny bit about all the guys that said nope, never done it.
