Rumor: Randy Gregory Relapse in August

[glimmerman]

A Cowboy in a similar video would STILL be suspended.

Yeah I am still in disbelief about this. Becoming blatantly obvious that goodell shows favoritism. And the leagie owners are ok with it as long as it don’t affect them.

Elliot has 6 game suspension because a chick said he hit her. The law never punished him.

2 other players have real DV issue and neither get 6 games. I believe 1 had the suspension reduced.

And JJ does more and makes more money for the NFL than any other owner. And the other teams just stand there with there hand out collecting money from him.

Players can be put up substance abuse for alcohol and legal drugs that are abused. If the league did not tell players the rules and then punished them for violating the rules I would be sympathetic to the players but these rules are known and agreed on by the NFL and the NFLPA. It is not a broken system there is a problem with a player who can't control their own actions.

The system can be broken and the player can also be at fault. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

I'm not pointing the finger at you. There was a huge thread about the meeting with many meltdowns.

The fact the Gregory does not get the benefit of the doubt is the reason the subject is great click-bait for "reporters".

I have came down on the media in the past only to be left with egg on my face. I think there is something out there however that something may not be exactly what is being inferred but just the fact there is likely something again raises concern. I think the natural reaction has been attack the press but given Gregory past I will just take a wait and see and hope for the best

Anyone counting on RG or David Irving are just blind to reality. a


LOL, that's pretty much all criminal's attitude about everything. "It's backwards I can't break the law." LOL

Well, that's how I feel and I'm not a criminal.

 

[glimmerman]

What does this even mean?

You know!!

 

[HungryLion]

Well, that's how I feel and I'm not a criminal.

I recognize he was speaking about more important things than marijuana. But the point remains.

I truly believe the segment of weed smokers is much larger than what we see on the surface. I don't do the wacky weed. But I suspect it would get approved in some fashion by the players union if put on the ballot.

I agree with you. Sports is a reflection of the greater society. Drugs are a part of society.

That said, I believe two things. First, most athletes, like non-athletes in the larger world, are discreet about their drug use. Second, the majority of athletes comprehend the ramifications of drug use. These are personal opinions but it supports why only the few and not the many are caught doing drugs.

Will both players who do not violate policy and those players who are clever and knowledgeable enough to safely circumvent policy join in solidarity with the few players who are neither? I doubt it but I have been wrong before.

The NFL as any business can put in rules just because you don't like the rule does not make it broken. I work at a place where random drug testing is in place and we are not given heads up, we are not given 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th chances we are given 1. They know the rules and frankly if you can abide by the rules like them or not then that is on the individual themselves and either will address the issue or suffer because of the choice they make. It is not right to play in the NFL and those fortunate to have the ability to make it still have rules like them or not to abide by

I understand all that. It still doesn’t mean the policy isn’t a good one.

There is a list of things you can’t take if you want to make millions of dollars.

It was good enough for the NFL and the players Union to agree on. What because you don't like the policy it means the system is broken?

 

[scottsp]

We may not align with the legislation, because Lord knows I am who does not quite get the uproar when it comes to Mary. The issue at hand centers around this player's inability to be compliant. That is completely on him and the club.

The team was not blindsided by this. I also found the reports claiming Gregory may have been clean for two years to be rather amusing. Relapse all of a sudden this past month? Yeah, no.

 

[ESisback]

Everyone whining about the Cowboys being targeted needs to grow up. RG is extraordinarily fortunate to still be in the league. If not for his elite skill at sacking the QB, he and this are a non-story. The Cowboys FO believe they can repetitively make poor decisions with regards to character concerns.

Who knows what this all means? If RG did fail yet another test, then they need to ban him from the league permanently and just be done with it. In some ways, keeping him on a hook is better for the league and Cowboys. Just adds to the publicity. I don't care to follow this story at this point.

I totally agree that Gregory is a dumpster fire that deserves to be gone (if he DID relapse), and your last three sentences nailed it especially. But I also think that Mara and his minions devote man hours to aiding the cause of negative impact on the Cowboys, planting rumors and dropping hints with emails and phone calls to the media and league offices. Wouldn’t surprise me AT ALL if Gregory’s not on the field against NY, especially if Dallas wins/NY loses today.

It’s called an opinion.

If you don’t like it. That’s fine.

I get paid a hell of a lot less than a million and I had to make a choice was weed more important than my job, my family or my future with my employer? I choose NO weed was not that important than those things. As I said I made that choice for a lot less money than an NFL player even making minimum salary so I have no sympathy to those who choose to do so

The players union also agreed to the personal conduct policy. There’s a slew of evidence that policy sucks too.

Your right it is an option, play and stay clean or get stoned and flip burgers

I said opinion. Not option.

 

[cowboyec]

Agreed. These guys go out for a normal day and probly spend more than I make in a year. And are willing to throw that lifestyle away to smoke weed. They are crazy.
