Random Commanders Thoughts

I think 'complete dumb ass' is probably all the description needed. There are tons of legal pain meds - you don't need to use illegal ones for pain control.

You, re right, I don't disagree at all, but shouldn't that be pain meds allowed by the NFL.... medical is legal in DC and MD :nana: LOL
 
Spence is an incredible player, but I'll be a little surprised if we take him.
 
If any of us failed a drug test we would be unemployed. Why should NFL be any different?
 
Bottom line is the legality doesn't matter. The NFL makes their own rules.

If you're an FBI contractor or employee, there's a likelihood you'll be asked during a poly whether you have done any kind of illegal drugs. Better answer honestly. If you're with other alphabet agencies, they may not care as long as you don't do it under their purveyance. Doesn't matter what state or if you live in DC. They have their own rules.

The signing of Toler makes me believe that we are in fact focusing on the DL going into this draft, the area generally regarded as the best in 10 years, and that we will be drafting MORE than one DL :)

It's about time. We haven't picked a DL #1 since Kenard Lang in 1997.

The journeymen we bring in like Knighton and Hatcher continue to disappoint.

As with the OL we now have on team we need to use our own picks and develop our own talent.

whats tragic about you doing drugs and getting yourself in trouble?

tragic is when a tire flies in to the stands at a race and kills a father of 3. this is people not being smart and not doing drugs when they've signed a contract stating they wouldn't.

That is not what I was referring to, at all.
Was not calling Redd's choice of illuminating substances, as being tragic.
Was calling it somewhat tragic, that there are so many moral inconsistencies between being employed by the NFL, and being employed by a typical corporation, as far as what NFLers can get away with.
 
But there is no free lunch. NFL players tend to get away with 'more' than a typical office worker but then again on average they have a 3-4 year career in the league due to injuries, attrition, etc.

Most aren't rich superstars but guys that have to find something else to do with their lives at age 27 or 28.

After taking care of relatives and being a typical 22 or 23 year old, that signing bonus and first contract money is usually long gone by then.
 
Yes sir, I get that principle. A guy signs a contract, and he should therefore fulfill its duties and commitments.
But I'm not even talking about contracts, or weed, or any kind of drugs whatsoever, or anything associated with Silas Redd, or suspensions, or anything specific, at all.
Just totally in general, comparing the operation of moral principles between the two types of organizations, and the apparent moral inconsistencies. Not a judgment. Just an observation, and nothing more.

That may seem to be the case but NFL rules don't supersede state and national laws. That's why the nonsense some post about the NFL needing to allow pot use for medicinal reasons is ridiculous. NFL players are subject to the same rules as anyone else. That's not the issue. The issue is that many don't believe that to be the case. And that's why they make the same knucklehead mistakes based on the same poor judgement over and over again.

I'm actually saying the opposite of how you took it. Just because something may be legal in the state an NFL team calls home, that doesn't mean they have to permit everything that state permits.

I suppose companies can set their own standards of conduct and testing programs for illegal substance use.

What is illegal is still illegal, if a company chooses not to test and someone gets busted then they'll use their own standards on how to deal with it.

Someone can serve jail time but a company can allow 'leave of absence' or just dismiss depending on their in house policy.
 
Terry Crews LOL!!!!

Makes you wonder whether Ken Harvey has ever hunted him down for his autograph... ;)
 
Our regular season schedule was just leaked and it's absolutely awesome. I'll wait until it's official to confirm, but wow!
