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.

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.

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.

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

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
