"Mile High"  would make a great name for a Denver brand of weed. 

 

Also,  I'd much prefer someone smoke weed and drive as opposed to drink and drive. 

You would have to leave for work about 3 hours early because everyone would be driving 15 mph.

It would only prove that ethics go out the window when it comes to sponsorships.

I don't want to be in any way condescending but I'm honestly curious to hear why you think it would be unethical for the stadium to accept money from a marijuana dispensary for naming rights.

I don't want to speak for him, but I assume it has to do with the ethical standards the league has set for itself. The league forbids marijuana use regardless of the state of residence of its members. Players from Colorado and Washington face suspensions from positive tests for marijuana. Allowing a  recreational dispensary to pay for naming rights of a stadium would be an unbelievable level of hypocrisy.

I have wondered if the reasoning, for the league's stance is cut and dry. It seems obvious (to me at least) that if it is legal in the state, it should be allowed by league rules. Could the problem be that the NFL thinks it would be a competitive advantage for teams in those states? If players are willing to throw their careers away to smoke weed, seems that they would definitely favor signing with a team where they could legally smoke without fear of repercussion from the NFL.

Man...where are the puns =(

On to the moral and legal issues, but regardless of one's position on the pot/beer argument, it's going to be a while before we see a change.

I would love to see it become legal across the country, get a nice healthy sin tax (like alcohol), and watch the tax coffers fill up while folks on weed charges in jail are able to rejoin the rest of society.  It's going to happen one day, but we're just going to have to watch other states wrestle with it for a while.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
