Martavis Bryant facing a year long ban

[top dawg]

What is it with these talented wide receivers and substance abuse?

This kid has some serious issues according to his agent. You know, I sometimes think about whether we passed on these guys because someone actually knew they were ticking time bombs.

If I was making multi millions I'd be damn sure not fuging around with drugs to jeopardize my ability to continue making multi millions

He had so much potential, but he liked to get H1GH

Always sad to see talented players wasting their opportunities, though if he is dealing with depression then it makes sense that he might struggle to overcome any issues he may have.

He's a loss to their team if he's out a year, but with Brown, Wheaton, Coates, Heyward-Bey at receiver; their new TE Ladarius Green; and their backs Bell and Williams; they have more than enough talent to be prolific even if Bryant is out. 

[Hoenheim]

Yeah their offense is still stacked without him. Though I think with him as well and assuming no one got injured next season they'd be very hard to stop in 3+ receiver sets with Ladarius Green coming in too.

Don't be sleepin on the Steelers they made it to the divisional round with no LeVeon no Deangelo,  a beat on Ben Rothlisburger, no Antonio Brown for the divisional game against Denver, and a not very good defense, and they only lost by 1 score... I think if they somehow manage to make their defense at least average or even a little above average they are AFC Championship Game contenders for 2016 season.

those drug tests are pretty much weed tests, nothing else stays in your system for long enough. so unless he did coke in the car on the way to the test, then yeah it's weed

Getting high is awesome though and when you are a pro athlete imagine calling up for pounds of the best bud on earth I'd smoke all day if I was a pro athlete, and not get caught

I'm pretty sure plenty of other guys thought the same thing.

(specifically, guys who blew their shot at being set for life because they couldn't lay off the drugs)

Damn, Tavis. I would say he should be able to leave the weed alone, but if he's going through depression and other mental issues, it might be hard for him. Won't call him names or anything, because I do have compassion for folks when they mess up. Hope he gets the help he needs

we should go ahead and kick anyone that smokes weed out of the NFL altogether

can't wait to see the epic jimmy clausen vs tim teebow super bowl
