You are getting into politics now. As far as the Cowboys and Rico are concerned, it’s still the law and if a player breaks the law he is the one to blame for it.
Right. He was too with his “It’s the law it’s the law stance”
I couldn’t resist. Just trying to promote some critical thinking.

My point really was wouldn’t a ticket be a better way of handing it. I really didn’t think many states still actually arrested people for small amounts of weed.

It might have been - I’m not sure what leeway the cops in Frisco have with that. But I still can’t blame them. Rico had a choice, and he made a bad one.

Hopefully he stabs a teammate in the neck with scissors.
Then we'll know he's Legend.
:omg::eek::eek:Oh MY !!! Now Corso you know Rico is going to be the RED Zone Monster and take over games this year. Just glad DallasDave and Putty stayed the course and said he was going to make the team even though most others did not agree and were not kind to DallasDave and Putty. :dance:

I don't know how all of the rest of you feel, but keeping a guy like Gathers is the problem with this franchise. Too many druggies.

My guess is the NFLwould lose a hell of a lot of good players if every one that sometimes smokes pot were somehow “weeded” out. That’s not to excuse Rico - he made a stupid decision. But pot use in the NFL isn’t isolated to just a few guys.

You are correct. It is amazing how many of these guys choose weed over a career. And there are so many that say weed isn't addictive. Maybe not in the traditional sense of addiction, but...

So how many games will he get? I am gonna say 2. And goodell will pick a prime time to do it. By the time the law is done with the case it maybe as soon as mid season or maybe just in time for playoffs.

It's more than druggies as you say, and I don't have a problem with people wanting to smoke pot....

The problem is the selfish behavior leading to suspensions bc they can't put down a recreational drug and that behavior hurts the team bc they get suspended....thats the issue I have

Yeah it’s really simple. It’s on the banned list so don’t do it. If your going to its really simple. All players get random tested 1 time between April and August every year. Put the bong down and stay clean until your tested. You pass and you can smoke the rest of the year if you want. But he smart and do it at home and not in public or get busted with it. It’s not rocket surgery.

lol, Rico is the last straw for you, eh?

I assume you want to cut Gregory too?

It is not about what I want, it is about the culture that you build within an organization. It seems like we wait with bated breath every year for several players on our roster. Gregory had a good preseason, but does that mean he is reliable? Rico Gathers is still an experiment, yet he made the team. I don't get it.

If one THINKS it’s better doesn’t that mean it is better from their point of view. Which I’d say is sort of important for determining “better”
Or should they wait for someone else to explain to them that it is now better?

Me:”Thank’s honey this hamburger is better with ketchup”
Honey:”No, you just think it’s better. It clearly is not better and I will let you know when it is”

If you don't know the difference in the effects of pot vs a hamburger, that tells us which one you've been consuming.

Try that while looking in a mirror, and realize that your opinion is not the only one that matters.

The discussion was about “better” I used an “analogy”:)https://www.google.com/search?q=analogy&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari

The ketchup, in my view, made the burger better. Or in your words it made me think it was better.

I’m asking you what’s the difference. If I feel something is better then isn’t it to me? If not can you please tell me the better things.

Is there ever a good time for Goodell to suspend anyone? I didn’t think Zeke would be suspended for 6 games but last year I said if he was, I would prefer it to be at the beginning of the season and I was torched. Then when he dishes out the suspension, people complained he didn’t do it earlier.

Point is, unless you can hand pick the games you don’t think we’ll need him then it will never be a good time, nor should it, the guy is an idiot.
