MOBILE, Ala. -- Alabama authorities say former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell has been charged with possession of codeine syrup - a controlled substance - without a prescription.
Mobile County Sheriff's spokeswoman Lori Myles says the 24-year-old former LSU star was arrested Monday afternoon at his home during an undercover investigation. He graduated from high school in Mobile.
Online records show he was booked into the Mobile jail and released on $2,500 bond.
The Raiders released Russell in May, just three years after being the No. 1 overall draft pick.
He won only seven of his 25 starts and was eventually benched. He's been criticized for lack of a work ethic.
Russell and his agent did not immediately return calls for comment.

Where does one get Codeine syrup?

 

[casmith07]

What a joke. I still can't believe he was the #1 overall pick.

Where does one get Codeine syrup?

It's typically found in prescription cough syrup.

what suprises me is why anyone ever thought this kid should be the #1 pick..
when i saw the first interview with him pre draft i turned to my friend and said "that guy will never be a succesfull QB" he said something like "why? cause he is going to the raiders?" and i said, no, cause the guy is to dumb to even talk.. how is he gunna read defenses and make snap decisions?

Ahhh the timeless "Grammar Police" arguement. Almost as good as the "Internet Tough Guy" arguement.

Rumors about JaMarcus and codeine had been around for a while

For the record, we'd never heard any rumors about former Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell and codeine-rich cough syrup.

Jerry McDonald of the Bay Area News Group had.

McDonald points out via Twitter, "Wish I had a dollar for every time I got an e-mail or a tip about Russell and prescription cough syrup."

McDonald wisely resisted writing anything about it absent proof, since doing so would have opened him up for a defamation suit that could have yielded enough cash to continue Russell's supply of codeine-rich cough syrup indefinitely into the future.

But now McDonald and the rest of us are free to speculate about the true nature of Russell's lethargy addiction -- the possible addiction to a substance that induces lethargy.

lol, what is the other side of the argument? the one you're on im guessing.. that it is cool to police people's grammar, just like it is cool to act super tough over the internet?

i'm curious, cause i didn't know there was an argument, i thought it was just a fact of life that certain sad people do both of those things, cause it makes them feel good..

 

[Bob Sacamano]

BTW did the Raiders take any of his rookie contract away?

lol no im not on any side i just always get a kick out of it when someone acts like grammar police (especially when they have no rebuttal for the argument) and when people act tough online. Always makes for good laughs.

Your posts give me a headache. Please at least attempt to, you know, make coherent sentences.

i apologize if my post are not coherent?? enough for you, but seeing as how coherent refers to the presence of logic, and in no way has anything to do with capitalization.. i think it is you who should try to be more "coherent"..
either way, you could just not read my posts..... you know.. that's an option..
