Justin Blackmon, not Josh Gordon, is now the dumbest player in the NFL

Don't turn this into a weed debate guys. Anyone with a fugging brain knows the truth.

I think I could stop drinking diet cokes if it would cost me millions per year. Apparently they can't stop smoking weed for that same reason.

I assume by "they" you mean Gordon and Blackmon. In that case it's not just about weed.

They've had dui's as well. It's more about those guys being dumbasses.

I actually doubt that you could stop

 

you sleep with a night light don't you

Or when Dante Stallworth got drunk and ran someone over.  I don't think he faced any NFL suspension and just 30 days in jail right?

 

I don't think it should be penalized like this BUT if you know this is going to happen, don't you think you'd make an effort to not do it while you're making money.   Especially doing it in public, I mean, come on man.

 

Yea, Stallworth killed the guy while drunk driving and served less than 30 days in prison.  That was around the time Johnny Jolly got 6 years in prison and NFL suspension for Codeine possession with possible intent to sell.

 

All of the guys we are talking about have made/are making horribly stupid decisions but the legal penalties and the NFL suspensions seem extremely inconsistent and random. Well, actually the NFL is consistently showing that they will crucify you for drug possession/use but don't care what-so-ever about violence/assault.

 

Blackmon and Gordon are done. They can go hang out with Matt Jones and Jamarcus Russell.

I dont get that argument, I know countless alcoholics that turned to weed. They are about 1000 times safer to people now as such. They dont drink and drive anymore, they dont get into hostile fights anymore, and these are big guys that could do damage and are trained to do so. I cant tell you the number of inactive guys from the service smoke instead of drink nowadays.

It's always a shame to see players waste their talent. Can't see him remaining with the Jags now, and it will be difficult to see the league reinstating him after yet another stupid mistake.

He might bounce back if he gets help, others have comeback from the brink. But after watching his so-called apology at the start of last season after he served his ban, I don't think he will. In that video he was unapologetic, and basically said he didn't care what other people think [mainly fans, experts, critics etc].

Sad waste of talent.

send a 7th rounder for him?

 

There are people on this board who still would (and probably higher than a 7th).

 

 

Punch your wife in the face and render her unconscious in public: two game suspension. Smoke weed habitually: year suspension.

 

Technically, about any offense done 'habitually' has the possibility to end your NFL career.

 

Of course, there's no such thing as a ;domestic abuse test' (a fact for which a lot of guys are probably happy) but both Blackmon and Josh Gordon were at the stage of the NFL's Substance Abuse Program where they were being tested ten times a month.

 

You're being tested that frequently, you know another failed test costs you your million dollar job, and you still use, you're majorly addicted (and probably not especially bright).

Weed isn't physically addictive. Its emotionally addictive.

Weed needs to be legal. We have woman beaters serving 2 game suspensions, and weed smokers kicked out of the NFL.

BOOOOOOOOO NFL BOOOOOOOOOO

We live in a very fuged up, uneducated, and ignorant world. Some day the truth will be revealed and we will all look back on these times and laugh.

[Mr. Scot]

Of course weed is addictive.

 

Anything that alters you is addictive.

 

Football alters me :unsure:

 

(so does my girlfriend)

 

 

It's like a contest between Blackmon and Gordon.

 

Same thought crossed my mind.  I guess it's Gordon's serve now.

So you're saying you don't know the truth?

For the kind of money they pay - enough that your future and your family could be probvided for even with a relatively short career - they could require a daily dose of Paulie Shore movies and it'd still be worth it.

 

(granted that'd be cruel and unusual)

You dont know how many times I say that in day, bro. I just that its actually true. To be fair, the year 1014 sucked quite a bit more.
