Gronk?

CBD is out of the body in less then 2 weeks...4 if your snorting it like yayo

OT - Per the CBA (and the NFLPA docs on the subject), the NFL tests for THC-COOH with a 35 ng/ml cut off for a positive (which makes them even stricter on THC than the Department of Transportation guidelines are, which is 50 ng/ml). They do not test for CBD.

However their cut off for steroids is four times the Olympic threshold....good priorities there.

I know that you don’t test positive for THC since it doesn’t exist within the product, so I’m wondering how they’d even know.

Or are you saying that it’s been specifically placed on the banned list for all of those sports? If so, that’s jus stupid. If so, I’ll delete my previous post to avoid confusion.

No, specifically CBD is considered a banned substance. You can find a dozen articles on it easily. The NFL does appear to be rethinking their position, but it certainly won't change for this year.

So, does the NFL test specifically for CBD or not? We should try to clear it up to avoid confusion.

Gronk and AB playing together will be epic.

Would have been, but Kraft is pretty mad at AB.

ABs absence makes Gronks return all the more crucial. Edelman knows and just told everybody what he and Brady are thinking about the NE passing offense. We need him, sums up what they expect from Dorsett, Gordon, Gunner and Meyers. Role players and not guys who take the NE passing game on their backs like Gronk, White and Jules.

Its huge when Edelman publicly stated that We need Gronk back.

As a substance, it is banned by the NFL (MLB and NBA as well).

There is no specific CBD test/thresholds. However, some CBD supplements could test positive for THC depending on their source; Hemp derived CBD would have little to no THC in them. CBD derived from Marijuana would have some THC in it, but I don't know the breakdown of "Hemp based CBD vs Marijuana based CBD".

In theory, a player could be busted for taking CBD if their product had THC in it, but scientifically they would be failing a test for THC not CBD.

Though the team lost an excellent passer & blocker as a weapon, Gronk left on his own terms. With those concussions and yearly injuries, it is more important for his well being than keep playing.

No need to keep beating a dead horse (aka: will he be back...).

He will be back by Chiefs game

I wish there was a way to make a friendly bet on this site.

Actually it means nothing...

Just like posting over and over wishful thoughts on this site about the topic means nothing.

You know that I am right - he will NOT suit up and play. Get over it.

The troll will Click "disagree" in 3...2...1

Agreed.

Spiking the ball on Fox. Around all the guys grab ***ring. Like old times

But it doesn't matter what Edelman says, it's not his decision. And it's not Gronk's responsibility to play until he's no longer needed.

Edelman said "We"

We meaning me and Brady. Huge statement.

And it doesn't matter what Brady says, it's not his decision either.

And why does "we" mean Brady? Edelman plays for an entire offense and the Patriots. Should he have said "I need him?"

Yes, Edelman spoke for the entire offense including the QB. He would know if help is needed and it is.

So again, what makes it Gronk's responsibility to return? Because he's needed? He was needed before he retired.

He doesn't owe the team anything else. He doesn't owe Brady or Edelman. He gave everything he had and he walked away. That's his choice. If he returns, it needs to be for one very, simple reason only: he loves the game and misses it too much to stay retired. That's it. It doesn't matter what the team, Edelman or Brady need.

New England needs Gronk.

Fans in upstate NY too.

So it doesn't matter if Gronk is happy. You're simply not done with him yet? Gotcha.

 

[venecol]

I'm perfectly fine if Gronk doesn't play another game of football, but JHC get it together on tv. Fox seems to be clowning him, terrible look. I know he's no einstein, but I thought he was supposed to be football smart. They got him acting like a stooge.

Don't fall for Gronk's insincere tease. He's not walking through that door, ever again.

Yeah, Ive been running the team.

Im about to give Gordon his walking papers.
