kid is a real ahole. First all of his stupid and discredited Ferguson BS, then Eric Garner BS, now this. I really do hope they trade him this coming off season, give MO the money he deserves, within reason, and go from there. The only thing is this friggin moron just screwed us in terms of his trade value. I hate this kid and his stupid BS more and more.
What shitty news to wake up to. Any chance it is appealed, reduced to 2? Fuck this. Very disappointed.
Seriously? I haven't read thru anything yet. That's a little better, but still..he should know when he can, or can't smoke.
The new rules are not that harsh. It takes multiple offenses to garner a 4 game suspension for pot. Also, even if pot is legalized, companies can still enforce their own policies. Companies enforce ethics, dress, etc. policies all the time. Every company I've worked for has had a zero-tolerance policy, meaning immediate termination if caught. The fact that he's been caught multiple times & hasn't smartened up after enrollment in the substance abuse program & multiple fines points to a problem with the person, not the league rules.
Wonder if part of the reason he was missing time during OTAs was because he had some kind of program he had to attend...or was just got high and forgot.
What a complete idiot. You can say what you want about the fairness of the rule, but it's the rule and he knew it. I also won't be able to watch him play at Wembley Stadium now.
Smoking weed isn't "substance abuse". I see no difference between smoking weed and drinking, it is only a problem when done in extreme excess. yes they have the right to uphold their own standards but it is ridiculous that they continue to leave pot on the banned list while team doctors hand out far more addictive and dangerous drugs like candy. I will never disagree that these guys are idiots to get caught this many times, especially when the testing window is like 3 weeks a year, but it is a whole lot better for ones long term health to smoke a little post game then it is to throw back a few oxy.
Wait, so this dude had the nerve to talk shit to the fans during ota's KNOWING he'd be suspended? Tool @Godforshort: All I'm hearing from ppl is get to OTA's etc. like I jus wasn't at practice yesterday putting in wrk tho.. @Godforshort: I have a life outside of football n I chose to enjoy my family a little longer so to u fans that know everything please worry bout yourself
Blaming Rex for Sheldon smoking weed is just as plausible as blaming Belichick for Aaron Hernandez committing murder. Maybe even less plausible, now that I think about it.
