PATRIOTS NEWS Jabrill Peppers ... NOT Guilty! ... Just has to pee in a cup for awhile

Please explain why using coke is not a problem for a leader on an NFL team.
I am in my mid 60’s so I honestly don’t understand.

Cocaine has some side effects which could impact decision naking and judgment during a game."

1. No one said he was doing it during a game.
2. Compared to most of the rest of the team Peps on field decision making was fantastic. He should connect the O line, Rham, Duggar, and all the WRs with his dealer and dust them up to better decision making and judgement. Give the LTs extra.
3. What you do with your body is your business. I give zero 's if he smokes weed, does coke, or licks toads in his free time. Inappropriately put his hands on his (I believe, don't quote me) ex-girlfriend - See ya, wouldn't want to be ya.

A hard hitting defender on coke is like a home run hitter on steroids in baseball. I know it's "wrong" but I'm willing to turn a blind eye to it lol

No one knows if he did it during a game, can not be certain.

If he is clean and has rehabbed sure it can pass, but if not in a rehab program I think it would be crazy for him and for the team to be allowed to play

Cocaine is a lot more addicitive and harmful than anabolic steroids.
I can not believe NFLPA would support thiis

 

[Pape]

I think he should use the Rick James defense:

was waiting for this...

did not disappoint.

 

[Pape]

Yeah, that's not the way it typically works. If I was trying this case, from my opening statement going forward, I would use his confession about the coke to the cops to enhance his credibility. It would be some variation of "from the moment the police arrived he was completely truthful with them. He freely admitted that he had cocaine in his possession, even though he knew it was a felony. He continued to be truthful with them when he denied that any domestic violence occurred."

I'd use it to impugn his character. "If a professional athlete can abuse drugs, what does that say about his decision making process? Nothing good... How many victims of domestic violence were harmed when their spouse was either high or drunk? 40 to 60%..." as for the admission, well, maybe that came after the prosecutor offered a sweetheart plea deal...

Doing coke once a week will not make you addicted. You crash the following day but if it's Monday then that's film review or meetings or a day off. It doesn't impair your judgement if your not an addict. It WILL make you sharper on the field kinda like Adderall but in a different way. It's not psychoactive like pot which does effect your judgement. I'm not endorsing it...just my 2 cents from experience from a loooooong time ago.

 

[signbabybrady]

Isn’t having a guy who uses coke a problem on a professional football team?
Pot OK no problem but I do not think you want a coke user as a leader on your defense.

If he has been through a rehab program and is clean maybe.

But If I were Vrabel I would wNt him gone.

Also if he was using coke the DV is more plausible

Different time but.....

This is going to an actual trial??!!
The Commonwealth is still full of overpaid, self-serving, entitled bureaucrats.

I dono man...a lot of the juicers get mentally addicted to them because they want/need to constantly look a certain way.

As for JP, who gives a **** about him having coke....homie needs to get the DV charge dropped though.

 

[SlowGettingUp]

Looks like the coke itself is not a major problem. Can't say the same about the rest though:

Woman testifies Patriots' Jabrill Peppers attacked her

A woman testified Thursday that Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers grabbed her by the neck, slammed her against the wall and pushed her down the stairs.

Sorry, pretty much all of that argument is wildly irrelevant and inadmissible. As for your last sentence, he admitted to possession of the cocaine the night of the incident and well before any lawyers were involved.

How did you come u with this one? There's a woman who says he beat her up. So, what exactly are you saying?

 

[lancerman]

100% this. Why are we ok with having a cocaine user as a team leader? Especially on a team that needs to establish a winning culture.

The best player the Bill Belichick coached on defense EVER that he lionizes like crazy and puts above everyone else was a massive cokehead and they won multiple rings with him.

Honestly the culture argument is so overrated to me. Winning is the only thing that establishes a winning culture. The Chiefs worst season in 7 years is the AFCCG and, aside from this year which is tbd, they've never done worse than going into OT. That's a winning culture and it's been full of headcases and character issue players from day 1 along with tons of off team distractions. They still are locked in on winning. As stated, the first winning culture Belichick was part of had a coach had their team leader and best player being a total headcase. We used to bring guys like Corey Dillon and Randy Moss in and they got in line because we were winning.

Winning is the equalizer. Get players who can win, and then figure out who are capable of being leaders and develop a culture around what's working. We don't need a bunch of boyscouts who are mid but good character guys.

 

[Ring 6]

It's a fallacy to appeal to authority.

He’s not appealing to authority he is questions your credentials to argue with him

 

[denverpatsfan]

Why can't they figure this out without going to trial? I think there is no incentive for the ooverpayed state employees to settle out of court.

Now that is some bad writing by someone over at the AP (as we move to AI writing and a lack of teaching writing in general, I'm sure we'll see a lot more of this): "A woman testified Thursday that New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers grabbed her by the neck, slammed her against the wall and pushed her down the stairs after another man called her cellphone several times while they were in bed."

Cocaine has some side effects which could impact decision naking and judgment during a game.

For examples, penalties due to over aggressive play. I would bet at least a few players might resent someone they think might still be using coke.

If he agrees to enter the drug abuse program or already has and gets tested regularly do you still not want him on the team?

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Wasn't Lawrence Taylor a big coke user?


I never got violent when I did that **** back in the day (probably 35 years ago- hardly even smoke weed now).
