And they should. Not every situation is the same but the rules are the rules. They should be amended. But I think until pot is federally legal then it will continue to be illegal in the NFL.
I disagree because the NFL as an entity employs probably so many non-players. I could see the lawsuit where an NFL truck driver or forklift driver sues because he has to pee in a cup.

I had cancer and had part of my nose removed...I DIDNT MAKE A BAD CHOICE AND THEN GOT CANCER LOL. Doing street drugs, or drugs in general...and alcohol is a choice... Luckily the nose is the 1 part of your body that continues to grow and basically regenerate as we age, especially in men. I WAS LUCKY. I had basal cell carcinoma and never smoked or used tobacco products in my life. SO I AM SPEAKING FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE. Once a person has had cancer, you are never truly out of the woods so to speak. In fact, you have a higher rate of risk of it returning and usually is more aggressive. Addiction is an entire different animal.

First off I'm glad you beat cancer but I have to ask how did you find out you had cancer? Was there pain or growth? Or was it one of those cancers that was mostly silent until a routine check?

Sorry, just curious when it comes to this specific topic, especially after a friend died from it under 2 years ago. Hers sadly was one of the "easier" ones to treat/diagnose had she not ignored basic checkups.

Her mom had stage 3 stomach cancer but overcame it. Had her 5 year cancer free checkup last year.

In my case, I had a bump on my nose..the bridge of my nose, that would never stop bleeding. I thought it was a bug bite or pimple. It was small. Would never heal. So YES, it was a routine family doctor check up when he noticed it(my doc) and said..Mr. so and so...that looks like cancer and I need to send you for a biopsy at a skin specialist. SO when I went, it was confirmed as basal cell carcinoma. They did the removal and each layer kept coming back as cancer...FINALLY when they got very close to my nose cartilage and nose bone, they found no cancer cells. THANK GOD. Because had it grown down into my nose bone or cartilage, THAT would have been very bad, potentially. I still get check ups yearly...and so far..no cancer. I worry every day when I see a weird growth on my body lol..because I am high risk. Moral of the story, GET CHECKED.

Wow. Glad you caught it relatively early.
Definitely understand your paranoia .

You have to do any chemo or any treatment or just surgery?

mind you, this was on the heels of my Daddy passing away from prostate/lung cancer a month earlier..on Thanksgiving. of 2013. THAT was a holiday season to remember. He was my best friend as well. My son who is now in the Army, is named after him and myself. He is 3rd generation Army and has the same name. 3 of us lol..so lets just say I have a great perspective of life. This Kobe thing made me think about that. For me, its all about my wife and kids, AND BEING ACCOUNTABLE TO THEM AND GOD. Nothing else matters, its just white noise.

here is some persepective. I spoke to my father on the phone 6 days before he laid down and died. He was GREAT , sounded fine when I talked to him. Was like his second wind lol...I knew he was COPD etc..but had no idea that would be the last time I spoke to him. On that 6th day, I received a call at 2 am in the morning saying he sat in his recliner and never woke up. He passed away just like that. Still sitting as if he was watching his favorite western lol. ENJOY THIS LIFE MAN..while you have it..never assume tomorrow will come.
