these freakin' players get shot up with fentanyl just to get them out of bed on Mondays and Tuesdays post game...but yeah, let's kill them all for smoking freaking weed. The Koch brothers have won...this country has gone insane.
I am kindof wondering how Goodell is going to deal with the medicinal marijuana laws
It'd be interesting to see a player challenge NFL policy on those grounds in a state where it's medicinally allowed - as it wouldn't be hard to find a physician to authorize it for pain management or some other therapeutic use - and thus put Goodell in the position of trying to over rule a doctor.
While it may soothe one's pains, aside from that it's not like we're talking about a performance enhancing drug like ADHD medications (which still should probably be allowed if prescribed)
At the NFL Scouting Combine, Archer ran the 40-yard dash in an Official 4.26 seconds, which is the second fastest time ever recorded (behind Chris Johnson 4.24) since the NFL began electronic timing. His Cbssports.com draft profile lists his 40 yard time as 4.16. This from NFL.com draft profile- "clocked 4.16 second 40 yard dash in 18 steps on one official handheld combine watch,tying Calvin Johnson's NFL Combine record for fewest steps". He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers as the 97th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
I hope Dri Archer gets a lot of work to start the season. Guy is hilariously fast.

Obligatory youtube highlight reel ft. Linkin Park!
The fans here in PIT are obviously very high on Dri Archer, and feel that he can be their answer to a 3rd down RB who's able to offer something on KOR, runs, and passes from the backfield.
He's obviously got a ton of talent, and I'd expect him to be used as a replacement to Bell in situations that don't warrant the use of Blount. Either way, I think he'll get a lot of opportunities this year.
I believe that CIN will take a small step backwards to 8-8 or so, while PIT and BAL will battle for the usual 9-7 or 10-6 spot that the division winner and WC spot normally gets. Just my opinion. Much like last year, I feel that it's still a fairly even division.

The laws are slowly changing... edging towards a semblance of practicality and reason.
I'm not a politician, and I don't have the time or energy to FIGHT for my beliefs in regards to this issue. And so I didn't make my post from a literal "let's do it!" standpoint, but I strongly disagree with punishing anyone for marijuana, whether in the NFL or a grocery clerk.
I understand if you get in trouble for a DUI, or if you get in legal trouble... and it is neither time or place to argue about it's medical merits or anything of the sort, but if a player smokes too much and it effects his performance, he will be cut anyways.
The "if it's a law, it's the law." mentality is totally baffling to me from citizens in a country that calls itself "free."
Anyways, sorry for this rant, because my posts turned out to be about the general topic of marijuana law rather than this particular issue with Bell and Blount.
For "adderall" yes. But for all we know it might as well have been marijuana for Tyms. The NFL doesn't say what players get busted for. So players usually say that they took Adderall but that they didn't know that the NFL needed the prescribtion.Is this a first offense for Blunt, or was he in the "program" already?? If so the suspension could be significant... didn't Tyms get 4 games for prescribed, but not declared, adderall??
Are weed is not good enough around here.I wish that we had Le'Veon Bell as well
Wonder what Goodell is going to do after giving Ray Rice 2 games
We are not free to break the law, that is not freedom that is anarchy.
