Thread: Former NFL OT Says 50% of Players Get High.............

Makes you wonder what players did before random drug testing.

Because... you know they did. Hell, NFL lore is rife with tales of playing high.

So is baseball. Ruth, Mantle, huge boozers. Drugs were hush-hush.

Yep, "North Dallas Forty" wasn't exactly as much fiction as it may have been made out to be. LOL

He played the game brother. He wasn't exactly an outside observer. You gotta think he had a pretty good idea of what was going on around him. Every once in a while in the early 80's I hung around at parties with some Packer players and I know that wasn't a bubble pipe being passed around. Just sayin'.

Well I don't know where I indicated that in that post. The Packers didn't have many "NFL Stars" in those days.

But lets' just say I wouldn't bet my last dollar that they don't OK?

That's OK. That's why you're you and I'm me.........and we just disagree.

But I love ya' anyway ya' big ape.

Well gotta go for now. I need to clean all the stems and seeds out of a half pound I just bought.

Nothing but pure bud for me brothers. j/k


Seriously I do have to go. I've got a report that needs finishing for an AM meeting and I've been dogging it all weekend so now I have to pay the price. Carry on brothers.

I'll be back tomorrow right after my UA assuming it comes out negative that is.

And if not in about 60 days right after they release me from . Sooner if I can find some sucker..... I mean kind soul to post bail.

I would assume there is the same percentage of illegal drug use in the NFL as there is outside the NFL. Certain drugs such as speed and cocaine only stay in your system for three days but other drugs like marijuana leave traces in your system for about a month so. Of course marijuana is going to come up during drug tests more often than others. I really don't care how many people smoke it in the league because it's not giving anyone and edge and it isn't killing people. It's a non-issue to me.
