Broncofan Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 First point - I don't really care if a player smokes weed by itself - it's a dumb policy, doesn't affect performance - but it's part of the CBA, and as you get 4 violations/missed tests before you get suspended, it matters to your football career. With the new drug policy from 2015, an arrest or public confirmation of drug use can be counted as a strike. I'm guessing this will be counted as one. Second point - again, if OBJ hasn't tested positive before, this only puts him in the program. You don't even lose a game cheque (1 for 2nd, 2 for 3rd IIRC). Third point - as long as you stay clean for 90 days of tests, you then leave the program. So this isn't a season-long or permanent thing. Final point - dude, you have go to start making better life choices about who you hang out with, to avoid getting into situations that can threaten your playing time. Get a bodyguard, whatever. SMH. Awful timing before he wants to get paid as the top WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care what he does in the off-season I don't either, except if it counts as a positive test. Which under the new policy, it could. I think the policy on weed is dumb...but that's probably getting into territory Webby doesn't like, so I'll leave it at that. If it counts as a positive test, then it matters, though.

If you aren't in the program, you get tested once a year - and you know it's somewhere between late April - early June. After that, no testing. But, if you are in the program....you have to stay in it for 90 days, can get tested anytime. You test positive again, you stay in it longer. You stay clean, you are out of the program after 90 days. If you get to 4 violations, then you stay in the program for a lot longer. You only lose game cheques on the 2nd violation, and only get suspended after the 4th. So being out of the program, you only need to stay clean for a short window. It's also why a lot of guys get caught now in legal cases - because they know they can smoke weed without being tested if they aren't in the program - and again, you are clean for 90 days, you are out, unless you get to suspension stage (Reuben Foster being the last guy).

The model snorting cocaine won't help - it's circumstantial evidence...but let's face it, the NFL weighs that kind of stuff. It's not a court of law.

Malik Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Needs to work on better desecration regarding the women he's with. Drake is his best friend and is an international superstar. This does not happen to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 If he’s smart he says its tobacco. Regardless of how you feel about weed its illegal according to the CBA the players agreed upon. I’d be all for them taking that out of it or leaving it in but the fact is its a rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
