Props to Jason Garrett, attaboy on Irving

[Paradox]

Yeah, it is, particularly how he went about it given the rules and laws of the land today. But we can't fully explore that argument here.
Second, just because he's getting into the cannabis industry doesn't mean he's going to reap the financial windfall. He more than likely won't make as much money as he would have in the NFL, and when the market becomes saturated if and when marijuana is legalized federally, there are many people smarter than he has shown himself to be will capitalize.
It's the lottery winner principle.
Third, the NFL is likely not going to change its policy until the federal government changes its policy. That aint happening any time soon.

So, you said it is a sin but we can't explore that anymore? You're still wrong.

I didn't say he's guaranteed to reap the benefits of it. I said I think he will do well. But to make a counterpoint to yours, when the market becomes saturated, he will have been one of the early investors. That usually spells big bucks because it's the small businesses who get "weeded" out, eventually. See Wal-Mart for ironclad proof.

Your third point is just silly. The NFL and the federal government have nothing to do with each other whatsoever. Are they also to replace the officials with cops and start charging players with assault when they get hit? They should just stay out of the players pee streams and let the law handle illegal drug situations.

I doubt even an idiot like Garrett would say that to someone. But if its true, all it does is prove he has no idea how to coach. A good coach would have told him to take his time and consider the repercussions of his poor decisions. Instead, he encourages him to break the law. Good job, Garrett.

Garrett's job is to worry about the team. How long is he supposed to ask Irving to consider his poor decisions? One year, two years, three? Irving obviously didn't care about football.
I enjoy weed when I can get my hands on it, I think it should be legal, but as it stands right now, it's not legal in the NFL. I also agree with Irving that the NFL is pushing opioids which are far more deadly than weed. But, it just is what it is right now.

I’d fire Garrett tomorrow if I could, but that makes me like him just a bit.

So, you said it is a sin but we can't explore that anymore? You're still wrong.

Wrong according to your opinion.
The law of the land says it is, and that, currently is all that matters. The other law we can't talk about.
But to the first, that's how we measure morality and right and wrong in a society. At this point in our historical juncture, the law says that I'm right.

So you're saying he's going to be the next marijuana Wal-Mart?
You know how many people who have a jump on him who are smarter than he is and have more business savvy, let alone common sense?

It's silly because you don't understand how institutions influence other institutions. (Research institutional theory) Why else would the NFL ban marijuana if not the fact that it is still legally impermissible on a federal level?
The NFL exists within the context of this country, this nation and its laws. It makes perfect sense. It would make little sense if marijuana were legal across the land. It would be similar to smoking nicotine. While unhealthy, it sure isn't illegal.

You'll get over it.

As Garrett rolls himself an Ezmerelda.

All Irving had to do was keep clean for like a month, that's it.

The NFL only test one time a year for recreational drugs and they even tell you what date its going to happen. So if you know you are being tested on May 31st, just dont smoke any weed during the month and you will pee clean. Then you can smoke all the dam weed you want.

The majority of players in the NFL smoke weed regularly, they are just not stupid like Irving is and smoke it the night before their pee test.



EDIT#### And on a side note, its not just the NFL that tests for weed. After I graduated from UT, I worked 5 years for Dell Computers in Round Rock and we were randomly tested once a month for weed. That means, they did not tell you the day, they just picked on day at random from the calendar and came to your office and said, "today is your day, lets go to the bathroom".

And if you tested positive for any recreational drug, you were fired on the spot. There was no suspension or anything, it was cut and dry. Random drug test once and month and a failed test is automatic termination. That was in your employment contract you had to sign.

 

[cowboyec]

I hope thats true.
can't help those who can't or won't help themselves.
good for the coach.

You make WAY too many assumptions.

Marijuana IS legal in my land. I live in a state where it is legal and I adhere to state law.

Again, I didn't say he's going to be the next marijuana Wal-Mart. And I don't think it, either. But I can make counterpoints to your very childish retorts until I lose interest, which is rapidly approaching. Do you know how many people who have the jump on him have less money and fame than him? Those things can go a long way. Getting in with the right business can also go a long way.

My actual opinion of David Irving is that I hate what he did to the Cowboys last season. I don't like how he presented himself. But now that he's gone, I'm rooting for him to do well outside of football. And I THINK he will.

But Irving is the guy who's going to be the next marijuana Wal-Mart magnate.

 

[Mannix]

DMW did it once he knew the experiment was over....no credit for talking tough once the ground work had already been laid for his ouster.

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

Seems Irving was just a wasted time....Literally...

 

[RamziD]

Irving is going to eventually regret the opportunity he wasted. He's too young now. But when he gets around 40, and he can't move around like he used to and he's working a $30,000 a year job, and he's about to be kicked to the side by some 20 something who will work for half he makes, his blown opportunity will smack him in the face as hard as Mike Tyson punch.

It's so sad that a habit can seize control of a man and won't let him go until it has exacted all it can.

Sin will take you further than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, cost you more than you want to pay.

You linked smoking marijuana to everything except Alzheimer’s dementia and the assasination of JFK. Well done.

 

[tyke1doe]

You make WAY too many assumptions. Marijuana IS legal in my land. I live in a state where it is legal and I adhere to state law.

Uh, did I say it wasn't legal in some states? Marijuana HOWEVER is ILLEGAL FEDERALLY.
That, my friend, is not an assumption but a fact of law.

Again, I didn't say he's going to be the next marijuana Wal-Mart. And I don't think it, either. But I can make counterpoints to your very childish retorts until I lose interest, which is rapidly approaching. Do you know how many people who have the jump on him have less money and fame than him?

Oh, so now my retorts are childish.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did I ask you to comment on my comment?
Second, he MAY become a marijuana Wal-Mart magnate (LOL!), but he has not shown that he could either. Not based on his current mindset.

My actual opinion of David Irving is that I hate what he did to the Cowboys last season. I don't like how he presented himself. But now that he's gone, I'm rooting for him to do well outside of football. And I THINK he will.

And you're entitled to your opinion.

 

[408Cowboy]

Ahem... again y'all sound envious and bitter because a man chose to do something y'all wouldn't have done. David can do anything in this world he chooses to do within reason, and he chose not to play football, so what good for him.

Define a sin?

Jason Garrett ain't nobody he just learned when to call a timeout.

100% correct

 

[tyke1doe]

I forgot the 9/11 conspiracy theory too. My bad.

No they wouldn't , they gave him all the time he needed 3 years, you want to bash Garrett so bad, even if it make you look like a moron in the process...lol

Who said it was a sin? What it is is illegal in the NFL, therefore Irving was no good to us because he refuse to stop or even try, Garrett is his coach and told him right. Bye

Try not to judge and condemn people so much. You know like the guy in the book.

Thanks! You're entitle to your opinion too.

Touché, and ditto.

It is federally illegal but tolerated. And some states don't think the federal government is right to control their states. Texas was one of those states.

Also, one last thing that has nothing to do with your post. And it's not to be a jerk, but just because I hate it when people say it to me. That is not the definition of insanity in your signature panel. It's just a quote from Albert Einstein.
