..."It's crazy," ... "My opinion on it? I think a lot of people do it. A lot of people do it, but if you get caught, that's who is going to get fingered and pointed out. They're going to make an example of you."...

"In my case, I got caught. So I'll deal with it. Gotta walk a straight line. I'm with it. I love football so much as to not (smoke). I'm not bitter," ...

"Life ain't fair. But I'm not hating on nobody. I ain't mad at 'em. I made my bed. I'm laying in it. I know this organization is counting on me to walk that straight line."...

Life ain't fair?
I agree, but, if I was smoking doobies in my office I would get canned.
There are rules that everyone knows about and if you get caught fucking up a known rule and get punished for it don't be playin' the 'Live ain't fair' card.

Hey Moron . . . you are a professional athlete and (like it or not) a role model.
You cannot be in the "A Lot of People Do It" group.

You need to have a higher standard!!!

Some here will tell you it's OK to smoke pot once in a blue moon if your a star player.

LMAO... please tell me that I am not the only one that laughed out loud while reading this... "Prophet" wrote:

The league office should be much more concerned about players driving drunk and hitting their girlfriends than with players smoking pot in the privacy of their own homes.

Umm....Can't you get paranoid smoking weed, start seeing shit and kill someone with your car?

Alot of people think its ok to touch little kids as well, but that doesn't make it right.
I don't buy the whole "everyone else is doing it" BS give me a break.

No.

Either legalize it or Enforce it...this country needs to make a decision because there obviously not doing either.

I think they're trying to enforce it, but even if you think marijuana is bad, mmm kay, you probably don't think cops should be busting into your private residence to make sure you're not smoking.
Likewise, (almost) nobody thinks the government should be making us take drug tests every few weeks.

So who gets caught?
People that don't have the common courtesy to smoke in private and people that are required to take drug tests for work.
That's not a very high percentage of people that smoke.

But just because you can't catch everyone doesn't mean that you can't punish the ones you do.
I guess I'm trying to say that the ability to achieve a certain rate of enforcement doesn't have to determine whether its okay, one way or the other.
