Glad, Garrett could be such a mentor to him.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

And a good soldier follows orders

Even if Garrett said this, was he really wrong about it? It's obvious Irving had more passion for the green than he did for football. That's fine. To each their own but you can't have both as long as it is illegal to use in the NFL. He chose his path. Let's move on.

Lol ok? I’m sure he told him to come to practice too , but did he listen to that? Something is wrong with that dude

 

[HanD]

I don't blame him. Dude let the whole team down when he was supposed to be a big part of it. Go enjoy the green. Don't be a distraction if that's what you want cause you can't have both.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Correct me if I'm wrong but since he retired, his suspension now won't kick in until he officially unretires?

Props to garrett for kicking off a cancer from the team

 

[speedkilz88]

Equivalent of a parent at their wits end saying, "Go ahead and **** up your life", Irving had already done it.

I hate Garrett as much as anyone I HIGHLY doubt he said go smoke all the weed you want pun intended

 

[ShortRound]

“He told me I should just quit, smoke all the weed I want, the team didn’t need me,” Irving told USA TODAY Sports in a wide-ranging phone interview Thursday. “I’m a distraction to the team.

Lol good. Agree with clapper on this.

 

[erod]

Best thing Garrett has done.

Always rid yourself of colossal losers.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Finally Garrett did the right thing. You know that's what he wanted to do anyway. Get rid of players that don't want to be here.

 

[Sarge]

If indeed Garrett said that, good for him. Spot on.

 

[Idgit]

It’s so obvious Garrett is doing stuff like this all the time. It boggles me that it’s not apparent to everybody.

Coaches have to take a stand, because Goodell sure won't. I'm also very impressed with Andy Reid who immediately released Kareem Hunt when news surfaced about him punching a man in the face.

Now the Browns have to deal with the thug after a video surfaced on kicking a woman. Drugs, abuse, theft, doesn't belong in the NFL just as it doesn't in any other working environment.

Suspension of games to a player is a joke by Goodell. They should be automatically terminated, period, end of story, end of paycheck.

 

[Ranching]

I hate Garrett, but I'll back him on this one. Anyone that picks weed over millions of dollars is an idiot!

 

[slick325]

Honestly, don't blame Garrett for that response. Either you're helping a team get better or you're making it worse. Irving not be eligible to play by choice inherently means he made Garrett's team worse. So...gotta go.

As an aside, I hope the League changes their stance on enforcing marijuana testing and punishment. Possibly take the approach of the other major sports. Change the threshold for failing the test or how you enforce it.

 

[ShortRound]

I hope Garrett threw some F bombs in there and slammed the door on Irving.

 

[Mr_437]

Well, Garrett n Irving have something in common...the team doesn't need them.
