Dopey May Strike Again?

LOL at you guys judging with having very little knowledge of the actual facts. Also, Williams' play was pretty good before he got hurt. I definitely expect him to step it up this season. You guys are a trip.
 
Don't say trip, man. Dope is bad enough--last thing we need is TW dropping acid.

He tested positive 10 times over two months. That doesn't mean he was smoking every day for 2 months - it could have been one time that stayed in his system. You guys are making him out to be this rastafari reefer-fanatic, when he might have just slipped up at a party or something during the lockout, when he wasn't being tested.

EDIT: And he his play hasn't been worthy of the #4 overall pick just yet, but then again he hasn't been Winston Justice giving up 6 sacks in one game bad either.

Right on the money. Depending on your weight, body fat percentage, dietary intake, THC can stay in your system for over a month.
 
My concern has little to do with Marijuana, it has to do with his poor judgment. After he failed some tests, he had to have been told repeat offenses would result in suspension, and... he did it anyway? That's incredibly poor judgment, imo. Not indicative of someone I want protecting our big investment's blind side.
 
Yeah, but it's not a banned substance per forum rules, so where's the problem:daisy:
 
soooooo......what about trading TW for a number 1 next year? put aside the matter of finding a willing partner....would anyone go for this?

Bam!!!End of discussion.

Except I wouldn't be so kind as to just call it "incredibly poor judgement."

It wouldn't shock me to hear that the asshole eats his own ****.

Right now? Today? In a heartbeat.

Of course, you're smart to "put aside the matter of finding a willing partner", cause nobody in their right mind would do it.
 
MM is right. I smoked all day every day for the better part of a decade. Most of my friends and family did as well. When I decided to quit, I just quit. Nothing changed. I still did all the same stuff, and I still hung out with all the same people. I was also a heavy drinker and did the same thing, and can still go to bars with friends and not drink. People who cave in that situation either didn't really want to quit in the first place, or they cave for the same reason they did when they got started - all their friends were doing it and they felt left out.
 
That realredskins article reeks of a typical media beat-up.
We're kept in the dark about what the question TW answered "nah" to actually was, so all we're really going on is a craftily worded article designed to strike fear into us fans that the "future of the franchise" is precariously held in the spliff-rolling hands of some blasé stoner kid who refuses to change his ways.

Not only that, it's also pretty clear that Rich Tandler is highly ignorant about weed smoking:
"...it would be nice if Williams stayed home and watched TV and played video games every night."
Sitting at home on the Playstation?!? That's THE LAST place we want him!

lol....no doubt sitting at home playing video games will make baking it up all that much more tempting.

Count me among the folks who say you don't need to change your lifestyle to quit smoking dope. You can't go out to clubs and do it so it's not like quitting drinking where you really would need to make major changes if your a "partier". With weed, ya just quit...period. The only lifestyle change is his day being more filled with productivity and less munchies. Smoking weed doesn't necessarily mean hard core party lifestyle. I know more than a few professionals who are Docs, engineers along with some world class triathletes who smoke daily with no adverse effects to their lives whatsoever.

Oh and weed doesn't stay in your system for 2 months, so if he got busted ten times over two months he was smoking the whole time essentially. It was amazingly stupid and he doesn't deserve to be cut any benefit of the doubt type slack. The only thing that rivals that kind of drug test stupidity is Adams getting busted at the freakin Combine this year. Now THAT requires a serious gift in the dumbass department.

I've always heard 2-3 months. Don't want to Google it at work though, lol.
 
The football players I knew who always took the tests would smoke up to a week before hand. If they do a hair test then maybe but urine...I'm almost positive, unless things have changed dramatically with testing, that it's gone in a week or two.

That's fine, but with random drug testing they get less than 24 hours notice. Once they've been notified they have to provide a sample within 24 hours. And someone from the league is there to watch them give their sample.
 
Side point,
MJ is considered an excellent pain med. Coming back from injury and trying to push through would seem a time when MJ usage may be understandable. I know there are other league approved drugs probably used all the time. I know the same is true with MS, and long before some states moved to legalize there were many who took it for pain relief because the other drugs didn't work.

I don't think playing in the NFL is something done without frequent pains. So I understand even if I don't condone taking the drug. Hard to condone throwing your vocation away for a quick fix.
 
Urine is around 30 days and blood/hair is more like 90. He didn't have to be smoking daily for 2 months to fail those tests. Could have been as few as a couple times.
