pot? seriously? shouldn't even count as a failed drug test...

[OU_Sooners75]

pot? seriously? shouldn't even count as a failed drug test...

Is it still on the illegal drug list?

[Crucifax Autumn]

I personally agree with Sphinctertama Assic on pot not being any big deal in the legal sense but what kinda moron is looking at a multimillion dollar bonus he could use to buy all of the Thai Stick in Thailand and all the Maui Waui in Hawaii spokes the shat inside of 30 days of the damned combine tests????????

They obviously don't teach 'em well at FU

Normally, I would agree with you and be outraged by the hypocrisy that allows a killer like alcohol to be pimped on people, but allows the smoking of a little weed to ruin a kid's NFL draft status...but in this case, all I can say is Blahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

I agree too. However, it is still listed as an illegal drug, therefore if you test postivie for it, it is a bad thing.

All kidding aside...if this happens in the offseason, there is no problem whatsoever. It will not affect the play at all. However, it is illegal, so this has to be taken into account. If I were a an NFL team, as long as he proved to me in an interview that it would not be an issue, then my draft decision would not be affected.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Whatever...I hope he loses 20 mill or so! Screw him.

Legal or illegal, good or bad, failing a SCHEDULED drug test just before the draft is not a drug test at all. THAT is an intelligence test.

If testing positive does affect their respective draft positions and subsequent money, the real loser here is . . .

I love the way the story starts out:


The draft stock of Percy Harvin and Brandon Tate may have taken a hit.....
Are we sure the draft status took a hit....or just Percy and Brandon?? ;) :D

Harvin is just trying to boost his draft status in the eyes of the Bengals.

Percy's new verse to Afroman's "Because I Got High":

Was gonna go first round to Pats blue but I got high.
Was gonna be Brady's wingman too but then I got high.

Cuz I got high cuz I got high cuz I got high cuz I got high.

[Jello Biafra]

pot? seriously? shouldn't even count as a failed drug test...


so if he got alll fugged up on lortab it'd be cool? its still an illegal drug....either they are all bad or all good. either you can police them all or you can't.

bottom line is this, "slightly illegal but not harmful to anyone but the smoker" is still illegal and if your potential boss asks you to take a **** test at the corner occupational medicine office or at a scheduled testing facility for draft day.and you go out looking for a job knowing you can't control yourself for a few weeks......you = fail

quite frankly, i get tired of everyone poopooing "weed" there is no difference between your kid getting a holt of your 1/5 of old crow or getting into your medicine cabinet for your pain pills...

[soonerfan28]

He'll get drafted but Goodell will being suspending him before long for breaking the NFL drug policy.

[fadada1]

i gotta agree with the "weed is no big deal and a helluva lot better than meth/coke/alcohol, but you're just plain stupid for failing a known drug test" argument.

i'd love to here what tebow has to say about this.

[sooner59]

After thinking more about it, I changed my mind. I might pass on him if a better WR/ATH was available. Its not so much of a pot issue as it is a stupidity issue. He knew he would be tested, so there are two scenerios. Either he has a problem and can't quit or he is to stupid to know that it will affect him this badly. Either way, something tells me he might be trouble.

[Crucifax Autumn]

It's all about the stupid for me. In my pothead years I'd quit when there was a reason...I was smart like that.

It's like the idiot brother in law we all have that gets put on probation but then goes to jail for flunking a scheduled drug test...MORON!!!!!!!

My best friend in highschool's brother-in-law got arrested for trying to steal railroad ties. (on an aside, I can't imagine even trying to go lift a bunch of rough pieces of wood into the back of a truck and then find someone to pay me for them) Anyway, he is hauled in, makes bail and promptly returns to the scene of the crime to continue what the sheriff had so rudely interrupted . . . and gets arrested again.

I do believe you have it right! If he doesn't have the intelligence to make sure that he is clean for the scheduled test, then his brain isn't working well. Never mind I'm very old fashion and have never, nor will I ever try any of those drugs, he should have been smart enough to make sure he took something to show him being clean. You can buy it at the local corner drug store and on the internet. So, that just shows how double stupid he is. UF didn't teach him much of anything.

I wonder if he tested positive for cigarettes too.....:rolleyes:

not very much?

[cherrylimeade]

Can afford the very best now.........

[stoopified]

My question is WHY WERE THE VIKING STAFF MEMBERS SPAKING UP WITH PERCY?That IMHO is the only explanation for drafting Percy,especially in the FIRST ROUND.If he plays at RB he is THIRD on the depth chart and at WR he is useless without an NFL caliber QB.

[StoopTroup]

That would be quite a bit then IMO.

You're way off.

Bringing in Harvin may actually extend Jackson's QB stint with the Vikings for an extra year or two. Look for quite a few spread looks from Minnesota now, and look for them to have their second consecutive rookie of the year.

(OK, that was over the top, but y'all are such good sports, here.)

This will also take some pressure off Peterson. If Harvin stays healthy and keeps his head out of his arse, which is not a completely safe bet, by any means.

But he's got a tremendous work ethic, if you remember what he did to rehab before the NC game.

Anyway, I've been a Vikings fan since the Tarkenton days, and I couldn't be happier.

[Mjcpr]

Sounds to me like he should've gone to rehab before the draft.

Percy is too little for the NFL, just saying. Great college player. but wait till he crosses the middle of the field.

[CrimsonJim]

If Harvin stays healthy

And when was his last full season w/o injury?


and keeps his head out of his arse, which is not a completely safe bet, by any means.

We all know that's gonna be a challenge. I have yet to hear the gigantic popping sound from him removing it this time.

I wish the guy well, but he's got a TALL hill to climb IMHO.

All I have to say is...

Are you still counting your blessings when it comes to the facts that OU failed on 2 fourth and goal conversions in the first half of the game?

OU makes those, the game is totally different.

I don't think OU failed, I think UF succeded. OU didn't fumble the snap or trip over their own shoe laces, they lined up and got beat at the point of attack.

TOo bad the guy that blew up those plays for us couldn't live by the rules and has been booted from our team. Incredible talent, tremendous waste.

Oh yeah...I forgot...it wasnt a UF defender that caused our WR to mishandle the pass on one of those plays. That play the ball got tipped 4 or 5 time and landed in the hands of a UF defender.

That hardly has anything to do with UF succeeding.

You mean to tell me Loadholt and Simmons didn't let a guy though the line on a designed off-LT run? That was Kevin Wilson?!? Who else missed their assignment... Josh Heupel?

I believe that was the second or third 'off LT run' in a row. And it got stuffed each time. So, yeah, I'd call that play calling.

[badger]

Wellll anyways... I soooo want to forget what happened last January, so back to the draft topic at hand...

Minnesota will be an OK place for Percy... he needs somebody that can get him the ball and I'm not sure they have that right now (unless AD learns how to throw, lol). It is annoying as a Sooner fan to see all the pressure on All Day, but as a Packer fan, I fear the Vikings not, because of their lack of QB. The same can also be said for da Bears and the Lions, so look for GB to take the division, with a wildcard possibility for either da Bears or Vikings. I do not expect Percy to have an outstanding season because of the questionable QB position. Dante looked like a stud throwing to Randy Moss, but is Percy equal to or greater than Randy? As someone who despised the way Randy could beat Packer CBs for years, I would have to say no.

Hey, I'm trying to hijack the thread here....

Anyways, didn't the Bears just get Cutler? So, I'd put my money on da Bears over the Pack. As far as Harvin goes, I don't expect him to have a great career, especially at Minn because of the lack of QB, as you said. Also, I just don't see those guys like Harvin and Bush having great long careers. They can't out athlete as well in the NFL as they could in college. Durability will also be an issue.

[TheGodfather889]

**** that dude, he will say his lungs hurt from smoking too much weed. Florida aint nothing but a pusher state.
Probably not since over the last several years multiple players have been arrested and or tested positive for marijuana all over college and the NFL and obviously a lot of these guys are very good players they just smoke pot for some entertainment. Players when caught especially in the months leading up to the draft always fabricate a story and excuses and say they'll never do it again. It's all a crock as it's done on every college and NFL team including the Oklahoma football team so it can't be hampering too many players except for the fact that the NCAA and the NFL are testing for it. If they left it alone no one would ever know or care how much marijuana both college and professional athletes consume since they still perform up to par with what they're expected even now when it's tested for and banned by the country and the leagues.

[catsigater]

Did I really say this on 4/25/2009?


Look for quite a few spread looks from Minnesota now, and look for them to have their second consecutive rookie of the year.

Indeed I did. :D

(Ok, I got the "consecutive" part wrong, 'cos Peterson was 2007 ROY, and they didn't exactly go 'wild Norseman', either so no need to genuflect. But it looks like AP, PH and the Vikes may be getting ready for a good playoff run.)

Even better:


"I call him Little Phenom," said teammate Adrian Peterson, the 2007 Offensive Rookie of the Year. "He's got the heart of a lion when he's out there playing."


"I think Percy's on his way to a league of his own," Brett Favre said. "He's quick like Wes Welker. He's got a long ways to go to be in the same category with Wes, but at the rate he's going he's a dominant force in a lot of ways."

Anyway, have a great off-season!

[soonerhubs]

Percy Harvin is an amazing player. The Vikings team is stacked, and I'm glad to see them doing so well. (Sorry Badge.)
















Pssssttt... It's AD, not AP.

Legal or illegal, good or bad, failing a SCHEDULED drug test just before the draft is not a drug test at all. THAT is an intelligence test.
