Cardinals LB Daryl Washington Suspended for 2014 (for pot!)

I've never smoked pot. I don't judge others for it; in fact I think it should be legal. But if you're in the NFL and you've got TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS on the line, how stupid do you have to be? Just don't do it! How hard could that possibly be? You can't wait 8 years?

"Stupid is as stupid does"
Forrest Gump-1986...(The book not the movie...)

 

Just ask Josh Gordon...
LOL!...
My habits have cost me plenty, but, NEVER millions of dollars...
At least I see now, why you have such formidable debating skills, and command of the english language.
And focus, and, umm...
Lost my point...
I`ve heard something about pot, destroying your short term memory, and, umm...
What was I saying again?
Oh yeah... Can`t these kids just wait till they retire, to partake in the lifestyle?
Maybe they should talk to Johnny Football...
LOL!
At least he is using legal substances!(Edit... This was posted, before he was caught rolling up a bill in a bathroom of a strip club...... There`s really only one reason to be doing that...Guess he went thru the "gateway" drugs....)
As to the question of how hard it could possibly be,
It`s really easy.
Once you`ve done it long enough, and you have no desire for it, anymore...
Until then...
No one can make you stop doing what you want to do.
Don`t you remember being young enough to "know it all"?(I know yer younger than me, but don`t know by how much..)
Here`s a little story I saw on my local homepage, where Manziel insists he is doing nothing wrong.
Reminds me of things I would say to older people, trying to steer me from my mis-spent youth, when I was about his age...

It is what it is.
Took a LONG time, and a LOT of mistakes/ prices paid, before I realized those people had my best interests at heart.
If you`ve never partaken in drugs, you`ve done yourself a favor,
But you can`t understand how hard it can be to let go of the feeling they can give you.
"Obviously"...
If these kids are unable to refrain, when million dollar contracts are on the line.
If it was easy, they`d just quit.
Just ask a cigarette smoker, how easy it is to quit.

 

Just had this discussion here at work. We're all military, we don't make millions, we get randomly tested, we manage to do it somehow!

I think that since (Jerome Bettis) even said that guys know when they are going to be tested and have schedules out, it would be that much easier to manage.

That being said, every one of us said that we'd slap that crap out of his hands if we were his friends. I've had cousins tell me I couldn't go hang with them at certain places because they didn't want to mess up my service.
