April 19, 200719 yr The way they made this sound on NFL Live was that this was something that wasn't even suppose to get out. It was something told in confidence at the combine. So I would say others admitted, but someone decided to leak the high profile players.
April 19, 200719 yr Well, whatever happens now is going to be interesting. I'll bet that Amobi faces a rougher road with Mama Okoye than with any NFL teams, etc.
April 19, 200719 yr I guess the NCAA doesn't drug test in the off season. Do they even drug test in season? They can test you anytime. If you are home during summer, they can send a representative to your house to randomly test you. They test both during the season and the off season.
April 19, 200719 yr I would almost bet, that if you asked every player in the NFL if they had ever smoked pot, that half, if not more, would say that they have...
April 19, 200719 yr I simply think its ignorant to come out and admit it.Maybe it is past them in there lives and don't feel the need to hide it, especially if there is evidence of the truth out there. The more lies you have the more lies you have to protect.
April 19, 200719 yr Maybe it is past them in there lives and don't feel the need to hide it, especially if there is evidence of the truth out there. The more lies you have the more lies you have to protect. I think my post should have included "at this time" meaning right before the draft.
April 19, 200719 yr I guess the NCAA doesn't drug test in the off season. Do they even drug test in season? I don't know what the NCAA's policy is but I do know that it doesn't affect what the players chose to do in their free time AT ALL.
April 19, 200719 yr "[NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell] is going to be all over any team that drafts players with borderline character," an unidentified team official said, according to Pro Football Weekly. "You are not going to see a draft like, for instance, Cincinnati's [in 2006], where they took four criminals in one draft, because the owners are going to start getting fined." Could it be any more obvious that some team is trying to get a top player to fall to their draft position?
April 19, 200719 yr Calvin Johnson, Gaines Adams, and Amobi Okoye admitted to smoking pot. Would you still draft them? I think it shows alot of honesty and makes you want to trust them.
April 19, 200719 yr I thought this thread about the Bengals at first...... I'm not really surprised by this, I'd be willing to bet upwards of 50 - 75% of kids (and many being "good kids") have smoked pot at least once.

April 19, 200719 yr My first apartment with some friends of mine, bongs and hard liquor everywhere. The typical single guys apartment, I was offered many a time and said no thanks. Considering how hard it is to find honesty nowadays in anyone, you can't excuse what they did, but at least they were upfront about it and hopefully know it can't happen again.
April 19, 200719 yr There is also a thread on this subject in the college forum. Maybe someone can combine the two.
