I'm sorry but that last line is BS. These guys know its banned in the NFL, just like I know my employer will can my ass if I smoke weed.

This is horse**** really. That's a huge penalty for a relatively minor crime in the grand scheme of life... and I really feel for Browner and his family.
He made a mistake, he knew he was making a mistake, and there is no denying it, but...just, it's sad. Really sad.
Essentially, what you are saying, is that Thurmond isn't much, or hardly any drop off from Browner, so we don't want to cut our noses off to spite our faces by cutting him, even though Thurmond had already been given a warning, to which he apparently dismissed, or ignored.DavidSeven":wtejnzcb said:Cutting Thurmond would be a rash and emotional decision. People would sure second-guess that decision if the team were to play Manning/Welker for the Lombardi. Would cutting Irvin have "sent the message"? Would we be better off now? Browner/Thurmond just cost themselves a ton in both money and reputation. If that's not enough motivation, then these "messages" won't matter. How often do any of us even think about Portis getting cut for a DUI earlier this year?
That's the point.chawx":wyp1ikya said:scutterhawk":wyp1ikya said:Aw C'mon guys, let's give them 10 more chances to get their shit together :34853_doh:-The Glove-":wyp1ikya said:Rocket":wyp1ikya said:Add in the psychological feeling of invincibility that's spoon-fed to athletes by the coaching staff...

If we're going down to sarcasm town...how about instead of giving them "10 more chances," we just make it so smoking weed in your free time isn't a crime...?

I feel bad for Browner's family, but not for him. In his own personal economy, this was a risk worth taking and it went really pear shaped on him. Both he and Thurmond are facing suspensions because it's not the first time they were caught, and in Browner's case, it apparently isn't the second time he was caught. That's Consequences for Your Actions 101. Also, as far as I know the weed angle is still speculation. It could have been Krokodil or Molly or quaaludes. The "fairness" factor of the suspension really has little to do with the substance he took.chawx":9b1jpkwk said:I'm with you, plyka.

certainly not in a Hawks uniform. I feel bad for all the guys wearing new Nike Browner Jerseys.
Disagree.
I think we will see him in the NFL again, just not on the Seahawks and more than likely as a backup on a team with a thin secondary.
I think everyone is underrating Browner. And overreacting on the punishment this guy deserves. Does he deserve to have his livelyhood taken away from him for smoking some weed? A 1 year suspension? That's quite ridiculous in my opinion. Everyone makes mistakes. For a guy to be suspended for an entire year when a guy gets a DUI and plays the next week is ridiculous in my opinion (Dwayne Bowe just got a DUI the other day). With a DUI you're puting other people at risk of injury or death, with substance abuse you're abusing your own body.

That is the point it is rampant in the NFL and far worse in the NBA. They should do exactly like the NBA and stop testing for it. It's no worse than alcohol and I'd argue it's far better to boot.Sgt. Largent":1sdjztwq said:Bigpumpkin":1sdjztwq said:I fail to understand the mentality of these players. They are taking "pee tests" every week or two, how do they figure that they can fool anybody? They have to be a lot stupider than they look! I'm disgusted!
This makes me think that weed use is a lot more rampant in the NFL, and players like Thurm and BB use masking agents to beat these tests. It's the only logical conclusion other than "derrr, sorry I just like weed too much to care about the consequences."
So the conclusion is we have more than our fair share of stoners and PED abusers than other teams, or our players are stupider than other team's players and can't figure out how to mask properly.

Huh, I had actually considered something like that but it seemed too far fetched to be real. I guess it's a really uncommon thing but it seems like the NFLPA would be all over this.

It was agreed to in the CBA, why would the NFLPA be all over it? Its a seemingly unfair practice, but one the Browner willingly signed up for.

Posted in another thread before the classic Radish lock,
Like I have said before, I dont understand how he got to stage three since he never was suspended the required 4 games after stage two. (Btw, PED and substance abuse are different policies that do not overlap.)
This was my question yesterday.
