We know thats who Jerry wants to pick.

Why is that?

 

[Gaede]

Right on. Good to know. I understand some people are wary of him for other reasons, but at least we know the weed 'knock' is nothing to be concerned about

 

[casmith07]

That's good for him, because it removes a burden for him personally heading to the NFL Draft.

But I'm hoping Jerry and Jason don't draft dumb this year.

This. He's still a bonehead. Or a pothead.

It's not so much the pot as it is the dumb decision making. That's what the potheads on this board can't seem to grasp, but rational thought isn't at the forefront of one's mind when high, I would imagine

 

[Bowdown27]

good for him. I really like him and would be very pleased with him, janoris or by some miracle morris claiborne

 

[realtick]

I'd love to see him end up in a Cowboys uni.

 

[visionary]

would hate any CB in Rd 1

Good for Kirkpatrick, but it's hard to take this story without a bit of skepticism. If he was indeed involved in the purchase in some way, then that speaks to his decision making. If his friend was truly the guilty one, fine. If not, and he's just taking the fall for him, well it just enables him to do it again.

Hopefully it was just a case of wrong time, wrong place for him, and he's clean.

Either way, I'm confident the Cowboys will do their due diligence on him.

Yeah, I don't really care about the pot -- Mark Stepnoski was an Academic All-American but he was/is also an admitted pothead -- as much as the kid's decision-making. No more dummies!

It's sounds suspicious because it likely is a bogus story. It doesn't bother ms one bit because marijuana is such a minor thing in reality.

Seriously, apparently it would be shocking for some folks to know that college age kids drink alcohol too, and a vast majority of them underage...

Why folks have some twisted view of weed like it's the equivalent of being a smack addict or being strung-out on coke.

Like anything it can be abused but it's no less dangerous than alcohol. Medicinal marijuana spots are popping up like Quiznos.

Which means he's likely to go back to top ten. If anything, Jerry is banging he head.

Quite simply put, it's illegal.

When someone makes a conscious decision to do something that would draw the wrath of Goodell in the form of fines/suspensions and draw the wrath of our own fans as well as the media in negative publicity, as well as the effect it can have on the locker room, it's just not worth the headache. Making that decision shows extremely poor judgment and poor character, plain and simple.

Not to mention you can end up in jail.

some people just refuse to get it. As long as it is illegal and the NFL tests for it, anyone using it is a MORON. We do not need more of them on this team.

Poor judgement, definitely. Poor character? That's a stretch. They don't always go hand in hand, judgement and character.

I agree with you. This is not a matter of how any of us feel about Marijuana it is the fact it is against the law and anyone using in the NFL is subjected to fines and suspension. I understand guys make mistakes and I would not have Kirkpatrick removed from my board but I do think any team including the Cowboys should do their home work on him before making the selection.

 

[realtick]

So is underage drinking.

Would you be upset if you found out any of the draftees we end up selecting drank before they were 21?

People don't typically go to jail for smoking pot nor possessing it unless it was an exorbenate amount, which it wasn't in this case.

wonder how many times this will have to be posted before certain posters GET IT:

Pot is banned in the NFL. It is illegal. If you get caught with it nothing good happens. If you get tested positive you are in trouble.
Those DUMB enough to do this and get caught are TOO STUPID for us to draft.

Also an example of stupidity if they were irresponsible about it. Same difference.

The Cowboys need players who are smart enough to make wise decisions. I repeat: No boneheads!
