Expect more reefer madness from Goodell

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell delivered a strong statement against marijuana use Friday, telling ESPN Radio that the league sees no medical benefits and adding that "it may not be healthy for the players long term."

Goodell's comments, made in an interview with ESPN's Mike & Mike, were consistent with his previous statements. But they came amid a federal lawsuit filed by more than 1,800 former players who say they suffered long-term health problems because of improper and deceptive prescription drug-distribution practices by NFL teams.

Advocates have suggested that marijuana could be a healthier way to manage pain than prescription painkillers. Goodell, however, reiterated the league is following advice from independent medical advisers who have not recommended marijuana use for medical uses.

Actually, I'm happy about this in a way, because i think it hurts Goodell's porspects of staying in power.

You think those NFL owners give a damn about weed? PA needs to make it a CBA issue.

I'm sure there are a few crotchety old coots, but I think the rest are getting tired of not being able to play with their their toys for four games because they were at a Snoop concert.

I could see Jeff Lurie being in front of that because there's a push for legalization here in Philadelphia. Roge might be re-thinking that option to keep the draft here next year, crowd might not be so rowdy if everyone's baked.

Oh, so in news everybody saw coming, Randy Gregory has failed another drug test.

Fun fact, that's his seventh in two years. His career is clearly over. Have to wonder how he gets his life back on track now, dude clearly has issues.

[GKJ]

Some guys get it together and some guys don't. Honey Badger cleaned himself up and even put added drug tests into his contract if I recall. Gregory was already suspended for an entire season after he was suspended for 14 games last year

Tenard Jackson is another guy never got it and cost himself an NFL career

Jerry Jones is skeptical about the failed test.

Justin Blackmon couldn't figure it out either. Such a waste of amazing talent

Never got it with Blackmon. Could've been a top 10 receiver by now.

What's up with the Redskins GM situation? Are they going to seriously go after Mayock?

 

[What the Faulk]

Most of these seem reasonable. Chicago looks like an early bet for worst team in the league, though.

 

[Dominator13]

What? Why?

They have cap space, and had the chance to let Njoku slowly develop while watching Barnidge play.

Idiots.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Njoku needs reps. Hasn't played a lot of football.

 

[Voight]

What? Why?

They have cap space, and had the chance to let Njoku slowly develop while watching Barnidge play.

Idiots.

Also gives Barnidge a chance to get more playing time elsewhere.

 

[What the Faulk]

Yeah, I posted ITT that Barnidge was getting cut days ago. I'm not sure why anyone should care. He's not as good as the numbers he put up in 2015.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

 

[What the Faulk]

Kinda have to.

 

[Voight]

What's up with the Redskins GM situation? Are they going to seriously go after Mayock?

He's just a figurehead. Scot Mac's firing made it clear Allen calls the shots.

 

[Bonzai12]

Jags were smart to let this QB crop go by and draft a QB next year.

I really like what Jags did in the draft.

 

[What the Faulk]

He was pretty bad last year when he got the opportunity, but this is surprising after they didn't take a safety in the draft.

 

[What the Faulk]

Kelvin Benjamin's 5th year option picked up. Sammy Watkins' wasn't.
