David Irving says goodbye for good to NFL **merged**

[Reverend Conehead]

I complied for friggin 40K a year.
Smoking dope was fun, but the ability to build generational wealth is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Irving actions are simply inexplicable, he seems unable to make rational decisions.
But this is nothing new, he's made critical errors throughout his football career

Me too. I complied for about 40K. If it had been for millions, I would have been ecstatic!

They use pot to get high.... don't kid yourself.... stuff doesn't hurt when you are high **

Define high **.

A few hits off a bong. Or smoking a joint by yourself.

Today's pot is much more potent than it used to be. But I seriously doubt players smoke pot then try to play a contact sports. UNless it is Madden.

What a waste of talent. He still made more money in his short career than I will in 30 years.

Taxes. Child support. Lawyers for his cases.

You will be back on top if you have a modest bank account very soon again.

These players use pot to manage pain. I see nothing wrong with that. And since the entire country is moving toward legalizing pot, will the league thenresinstate these players they banner because it is an acceptable form of recreation?

This has nothing to do with Irving, per se for me. It has to do with the reality of a game that is still savage in its contact, and these guys either using something truly innocuous such as pot versus Oxy.

I think the NFL stands for Not Foresighted for Long.

Yeah just take CBD which is legal in ALL 50 States! lol You know the healing property that helps with pain/inflammation, Anxiety, sleep etc??

You smoke weed to get High and enjoy the feeling like getting buzzed/drunk from Beer/Liquor after a long week to unwind

"Pain management" don't make me laugh

Haven't read a single post in this thread, but hopefully I'm singing with the choir....

If use of a drug is more important to you than a career with the employer, the problem isn't the employer.

Having a close relative who more or less is in that same boat, it both angers me and makes me feel pity simultaneously.

Because marijuana is not the same as alcohol. You can smoke pot all day, and still have a functionality you would not by drinking alcohol all day.

I've seen people take a nap after a long period of getting high. But never seen anyone pass out like alcohol does.

I also have never heard of a college kid smoking so much pot he died of pot poisoning. But you do see those cases in the new periodically with kids dying from alcohol poisoning.

They are two completely different things.

I don't believe that. I can drink beer all day and have the same functionality, literally. Now, hard liquor is different but beer, all day. That's not a boast, thats the truth. What you are saying here is cherry picking. Obviously there is a difference between Beer and Liquor. Just like there is a difference between certain types of weed and drugs in general.

They are not two completely different things. They both impair you and they are both violations of employment. Yet, people make excuses for weed but are unwilling to do the same for Alcohol. Sorry, if you are unwilling to make that same exception for drinking, then I have no sympathy for getting high. You can't have it both ways and being high absolutely effects your ability to function. To say differently is simply untrue.

Will be in prison in a couple years. Bet on it.

Honestly, it doesn't even really require you to not smoke weed. I mean, they give you every out. They test you once every year, at the beginning, they tell you when it is and if you test clean, they don't test you again. How much easier can the League make it on players? People act like the League is out to get the players on this issue. That's just a lie. The League realizes that players are smoking weed. They set it up so that the dumbest of the dumb can beat it and yet, here sits David Irving smoking his future away on Instagram.

That’s what I have been screaming for days..

They tell you when. They don’t want you to fail. Once a year then your free to smoke all you want.

If you fail they give you several chances. 1st time the test you for a month. If clean then your good. Meanwhile you get to work and have more chances before you lose money.

If you truly smoked all day, everyday your true functionality would be pretty much limited to playing video games, watching your Lava Lamp & eatting Funyuns.
Not a bad way to spend a Saturday but not a attribute I'm seeking in a DT.

Yep, you literally have to fail like 6 or 8 times before they suspend you for a year and that's not a test every day type thing. I mean, this is all on Irving. He is not managing pain, he is just getting high IMO. Guy has literally started 10 games in his career. How beat down could his body really be?

Nods
In todays NFL the only reason you get suspended for dope is that you simply don't care.

 

[dckid]

It’s not “sensitive”, it’s rules.

Got it. I really wasn’t being political. I am the independent group that is totally ambivalent to partisanship. Anyways sorry all.

Here is another one for you. The NFL has raised the amount of weed allowed in your system before it comes back positive. The only thing I was shocked about is that he was suspended 4 games for it last year. He had to fail 3 more times and we never heard about it.

4 games
10 games
Full year
Indefinately suspended.

Funyuns are delicious. High or not. I am sure weed helps though.

I have seen people use alcohol as a pain killer. Physical and mental. Stay off the roads and it’s legal to do. Don’t know if any job that it’s acceptable. Same with weed.

This is the thing. I mean, I know that fans like to believe that our personnel folks are superior to many other teams and they might be, they have shown pretty good results but, it doesn't take a super computer and a room full of genius level folks to figure out that Irving had a stupid level of talent. Yet, the Chiefs let him go. Now, why in the world would they do that?

Because he is a head case. And maybe I am off base here. He may just be a big man baby. Immature. These are basically kids that are talented at what they do and handed ALOT of money. My guess is that the NFL is full of them. When Dez came into the league!! Some the staff and handler can help and some they can’t.

So you can drink Wild Turkey at 101 proof all day and still have the same functionality?

I doubt that.

Certainly that is not what I was suggesting. But to exemplify the differences between hard alcohol and weed, I needed to find the limit where hard alcohol would impair to the point of unconsciousness.
