August 21, 201412 yr Deserves suspension for being stupid. Why drive high? Have someone else drive you. Why have pot in the car? Have it delivered to your house so you dont get caught. Yeah stupid. You mean like this? Marijuana Delivered to Bengals WR Simpson's Kentucky Home | Fox News
August 21, 201412 yr You mean like this? Marijuana Delivered to Bengals WR Simpson's Kentucky Home | Fox News Have your buddy bring it, stupid to have it mailed, that is stupid.
August 21, 201412 yr This is all going to come back on Lawnboy13 for having kidney stones, if it weren't for that he could've delivered.
August 28, 201412 yr When it comes to applying and enforcing internal rules, the Steelers (like most sports teams) operate not with bright lines but a golf bag. And they carefully select a club based on, ultimately, the overriding duty to win as many football games as possible. That’s why it’s no surprise that the Steelers won’t be suspending running back Le’Veon Bell or LeGarrette Blount for last week’s Cheech and Chong meets Dumb and Dumber marijuana episode. Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette explains that the Steelers won’t suspend either player. He bases his conclusion on the plain language of the labor deal, which prohibits teams from taking matters into their own hands regarding alcohol and drug offenses. While entirely accurate, that provision didn’t stop coach Mike Tomlin from sitting former Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes with pay in 2008, after a mid-week marijuana citation. It also didn’t stop the Steelers from suspending former defensive lineman Alameda Ta’amu after a DUI incident. In this case, a suspension of the two players involved would put the team in a tough spot for the regular-season opener against the Browns. And so the discipline will be meted out in some other way, the team will defer (for a change) to the league office, and this specific incident of arguable compliance with the CBA will be forgotten the next time a guy who is less important to the cause gets in trouble and the team decides to make an example out of him. Steelers won?t suspend post-pot arrest, this time | ProFootballTalk
August 28, 201412 yr Author For the record, Santonio Holmes was suspended by the Steelers for one game for a similar incident, Bouchette was wrong about that one too. While I have no idea what or if there will even be punishment from the team, you can bet Bouchette isn't privy to it.

August 28, 201412 yr Author Maybe that is why he is taking a little jab. He hasn't had the pulse of the team for quite some time. He used to be the guy who had all the scoop on the team. Mostly from the Noll and Chin eras. And again, he may be totally on the mark with this one. And the local talk there is suggesting that perhaps the team suspend one one game, one the next.
August 29, 201412 yr Coach Tomlin had been heard saying that the RB competition was good and crowded so he was looking to "weed" some out!
