News: Gregory Failed Yet another Drug Test

[PJTHEDOORS]

how do you know?

How do you know, that I know, what is known.

There is a huge difference between a missed test and a failed test....... a missed test is counted as a failed test but there could be a dozen legitimate reasons for missing one......they are subjected to 10 tests a month while in the program, any time- any place

Regardless of how you feel about it, NFL shouldn't be testing for it. I understand performance enhancing drugs or if you suspect someone of being high on the job but there is no other reason.

I haven't been drug tested for a job since I was in entry level and I would be offended if my employer just randomly gave me cups to pee in to test for pot. Gregory knows the rules, this doesn't excuse him for repeatedly making the same mistake but it doesn't excuse it's stupid to test NFL players randomly for pot.

 

[haleyrules]

This is horrible if true. Somebody pinch me. I was full-bore in his corner. Hoping we would get him back for our postseason push.

Unbelievable. DE is a number one priority in draft and perhaps in free agency as well (not a tier one, but a tier 2 signing). It can't just be Tank on the outside.

Damnit, Gregory. Damnit, dude. If this is over weed, this is sickening that weed can destroy a player's career in the 21st century. Weed, folks.

You "get off muh lawn" folks need to realize, marijuana will be federally legal soon. We're losing a player to some weed. In two or three, maybe four years (our next general election) this guy wouldn't be drawing these suspensions.

Amen. It makes me sick that young players are being suspended and punished for smoking pot. Gregory does need a boot up tne backside for allowing himself to be put in this situation by the NFL. Too bad...the club really needed this boy.

Ever since Colorado legalized pot traffic related deaths jumped traminously.

So then you think alcohol should be banned no? Since traffic deaths are your concern and there were twice as many alcohol related deaths in the past year compared to the number of pot related in the past decade.

IOW, 20x as many people die from accidents related to alcohol than do pot.

That is before you consider that such measurements are not necessarily mutually exclusive. In fact, many of the pot positives are from instances where both are present in the blood and marijuana stays in the blood for a month after inebriation. IOW, many people shown as positive are not high.

Further there have been several studies involving inebriated people driving in controlled environments where driving impairment from pot is minimal particularly as opposed to alcohol.

The one caveat is that pot blows your drunk up and exacerbates the impairment when mixed. Pot on its own is more or less benign when it comes to actual clinical driving results..

It's time to cut ties and move on from this young man....sadly.

Sorry to all the people crying about this but rules are rules. Whether pot should be legal is a whole other story. Right now weed is against the rules in the NFL and in many jobs across this nation. I am subject to company sponsored random drug test. If I tested positive for weed I would get immediately terminated. I think the NFL is too soft on these people. They get paid a lot of money so following the rules should not be that hard.

 

[Galian Beast]

No one was more in this kid's corner than I was, and I'm done.

Missed or failed test or whatever, if true, he should be cut immediately.

In Gregory position even if it is a missed test there is no excuse this is his career on the line. To be in the situation he is currently in he has had at least 7 failed test and knows damn well that even a missed test would cost him. These guys are being held accountable for their action it is no one fault but his own.

 

[Risen Star]

New rule - Don't draft a player who fails the combine drug test.

Man ........ this is a real bad week for all the idiots you love to defend.

I don't disagree but I wonder if Dallas passed on the next Randy Moss as they did after the Irvin situation would fans jump down Jerry throat this time as they did that time?

Flawed thinking.

There's an apparent spike in the number of pot-related traffic deaths due to its newfound legal accessibility in that state.

Comparing traffic deaths due to alcohol is apples-to-oranges because marijuana doesn't share alcohol's legal status in all 50 states which impacts the numbers. Further, you're assuming an equal number of Coloradans that drink is equal to the number that smoke in terms of raw numbers and when you're talking about total number of fatalities or accidents caused by X, that's fundamental. Unless you have that data, drawing any conclusion severely misinformed, but that's par for the course.

Randy really is a fool to not want to get in on this action...The boys are back in town...

 

[Zekeats]

He will play next year. Mark my words.

 

[Doomsday101]

He will play next year. Mark my words.

Not if the league suspends him for the year. so next year week with 2 games remaining he will be playing since that will be the next time he is eligible to play if this report is accurate

League will be changing the rules on weed next offseason and will lift the ban.

Yeah I would not count on that.

 

[robbieruff]

well...this much is true...you can't say he was just a paycheck player since he basically disregarded the money for "the life"...he can hang out with Ricky Williams I guess at this point. I hope he has some other special talent since his chances at the "good life" aren't going to come via football. Perhaps he can move to California and open a weed superstore emporium.
