HA, cocaine didnt seem to affect michael irvin. Pot deffinetly didnt affect rickys playing he was great, he fought for ever damn yard he got. Quincy was talented, the drugs did not affect his playing, if he was clean he woudl of played the same. and if you disagree you have no proof. And to the guy who called me a youngin'. Thats awsome stereotyping younger kids saying they dont know anything about life because we havent lived long enough. I said i dont condone drugs alcohol etc. i dont do any of them. But people dig to deep into players life, its a childs game. They play a sport and get paid for it, its for the fans entertainment dotn start judging players about what there life is like. People melt when the players have had a hard life and said "ma when im older you wont have to work" thats great im sure many kids said it, heck i said it. And than if someone does drugs they have there torches and pitch forks. look at the Owens deal, everything gets blown out of perportion. thats the fans fault, who cares hes cocky as all heck. But he backs it up he shows up on sunday. thats all that should matter, people obsess. its just a sport dont buy to much into the player, root for them. Cheer but dont involve yourself in there personal life.

The difference, IMO, is that Kiddy was talking about Rape and not weed or attitude on the field. It is a clear dividing line, IMO, on the subject. No amount of scrutiny is too much, no level of investigation is sufficiant, no judgement is too harsh where something like rape is concerned because it could be one of my daughters were talking about. It could be one of yours or anybodies. I may sound a bit over the top here but I just know that if it were me having to live with it, I would be over the top and no punishment would be enough. I know this and so, I view it with a bit harsher barromitor.

It may not be right, I don't know. I just know that this is the way it has to be for society.

For the sake of all the drama I've been involved in regarding character issues and race related issues, I'll leave this one alone..:)

If it's my daughter that got raped and I knew who did it.. it WOULD affect the team the following Sunday and every Sunday thereafter.. because the guy wouldn't be alive to play anymore.



On the subject as a whole.. this is stupid. Most major businesses do drug tests and background checks before they hire their employees... hell some of them run your credit history. Its ridiculous to say we're dipping too far into the PLAYERS lives when people in most any reputible business have all of these same checks done on them. The only difference is that the PLAYERS are high profile jobs that are placed under media attention.

And saying "let them smoke all they want and do drugs" IS condoning drug use.

But you will turn in the membership if we don't win it all?
I am a fan of the Dallas Cowboys win or lose, and have been a fan for over 26years. So the answer to your less than astute question is no...

My cousin was killed in a head on collision, the driver of the other car was stoned and drifted into her lane. I think she may disagree with "it never hirt no one" if she was able to.
It wasn't the pot that killed your cousin it was the idiot that smoked pot and drove. Same things happen with alcohol, yet it is legal... I am sorry for what happened to your cousin. Crappy things happen to good people when it isn't illegal to be a moron...

It was the pot that impared him to the point that he ran off the road. As for Alchol I dont care ban it too I dont drink. But do not sit here and try to tell me that pot doesnt hurt anyone when my family has suffered loss because someone got high.

Again, It wasn't the pot that killed your cousin it was the idiot that smoked pot and drove. People do ******** completely inconsiderate and down right terrible things.

Keeping it illegal won't prevent something like that happening again. Prohibition doesn't work it never has it never will...

I'm thinking you should remove the "locked&" part of your username. On so many levels this thread and your posts, is wrong. Every peice of it reeks of naiveity, self righteous blastfamy and is, quite frankly, border line psycho. You should seek help from a professional........that is of course, he isn't a heroin addict in his personal life.
