News: Gregory Failed Yet another Drug Test

[dallasdave]

Read my second post in this thread. Then take a couple breaths.

Also, this is a very big deal. Huge deal.

Well said my friend !!!

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Well there goes those 14 sacks a year. Never liked the pick, hopefully we deep six him and address DE in the offseason.

 

[KJJ]

time to move on

It was time to move on after the second failed test.

We're everywhere, Landry but you represent the finest of your generation.

Every generation has its bad apples.

one bad apple don't spoil they whole bunch

 

[KJJ]

Gregory has had more failed drug tests than sacks the past year.

 

[dallasdave]

I agree with everything in this post, and it was covered in my second post pre-edit.

I don't like the "prison pocket" reference

You took my manhood? You submissed me?

Nobody is slandering anyone. But as I said there is a reason MJ is a controlled substance . Making it easier to obtain/use is a bad idea.

It will be legal wherever you are within a few years so get ready. CA and NV just legalized it. I can only imagine what the strip will be like in Vegas.

Can the clingers finally accept that he is done here?

Okay. I'm officially loosening my grip.

 

[TheCoolFan]

I'll never give up on him! Keep him around...he is just too good of a pass rusher. Gregory forever

Thanks, Cool

This is horrible if true. Somebody pinch me. I was full-bore in his corner. Hoping we would get him back for our postseason push.

Unbelievable. DE is a number one priority in draft and perhaps in free agency as well (not a tier one, but a tier 2 signing). It can't just be Tank on the outside.

Damnit, Gregory. Damnit, dude. If this is over weed, this is sickening that weed can destroy a player's career in the 21st century. Weed, folks.

You "get off muh lawn" folks need to realize, marijuana will be federally legal soon. We're losing a player to some weed. In two or three, maybe four years (our next general election) this guy wouldn't be drawing these suspensions.

All that may be true. But it's meaningless now. We don't live in the future, we live in the now. And NOW the NFL's policy bans the use of pot. Gregory knows the rules. The Cowboys know the rules so it's Gregory's fault for continuing to smoke weed and the Cowboys fault for taking an unsuccessful gamble on his using a precious second rounder on him.
We could have used that pick for another defensive player who could have contributed to our march to the Super Bowl.
Sigh.

Cut him.

I promise you, a lot of NFL players smoke weed. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a majority. For most, it's not that difficult to stop when they know they need to and pass a test. Most of them don't suffer from the anxiety that Gregory clearly suffers from.

Different medications work differently for different people. I'm sure he's been prescribed NFL-legal 'scripts and perhaps they don't work for him. People can deny it all they want, but weed helps many people (myself included) relax a lot. I never told my doctor I had trouble sleeping (2-3 hours a night in high school) because I didn't want to take a sleeping pill, due to the side effects and the crap that's in them. When I got to college and started smoking, I never slept better. Which led to me feeling better in the morning. I was more productive throughout the day. It was great for me.

I don't feel bad for Gregory in the sense that his life is at risk. He'll never OD from weed, and he's very unlikely to move on to other things at this point. I feel for him because this should be a non-issue. Weed probably helps him in downtime. By suspending him and potentially ending his career, who is the NFL helping? They certainly aren't helping Gregory.

I liken this to my own situation in a lot of ways. If I were to catch a marijuana charge when I was in college, I could've lost financial aid that I desperately needed. Of course I wasn't being drug tested, but I smoked often. I wasn't hurting any one. I was pretty much only helping myself. Helping myself sleep, study, be more productive. Taking away financial aid (and, thus, basically taking away my education), would've been way worse for me than just continuing to smoke. It's a victimless crime until it's against the law; at that point, you have a lot of victims.

I completely agree, Tyke. It's a sad reality, but it is reality, nonetheless. I've almost given up hope. As another poster said deeper in the thread, this will almost certainly put the impetus on the Org to go full-bore DE this next offseason.

What a shame. I'm sure all of Cowboys nation can agree, such a shame. Despite their particular view on weed.

 

[tyke1doe]

Im in total shock I was told by an insider here that he was doing great and turning his life around

Oh, he was turning around alright.

"I'm so dizzy, my head is spinning." Who remembers that song?

 

[tyke1doe]

What the heck was he doing in rehab all that time?

 

[Rob-G]

smh @ being addicted to weed
