BTW, the drug speculation is t just coming out of thin air.

 

 

It would be wildly irresponsible (but not impossible) for the Baltimore PD to make that type of statement unless they were pretty damn certain this is going to end up being OD related.

Remember what I said about street acquired prescription drugs?

I rather doubt it was fentanyl laced Xanax. Xanax is plenty dangerous enough on it's own, especially if you are mixing it with booze.

You're not wrong in principle but fentanyl is a real game changer in the likelihood of overdose. Yeah, addiction and drug abuse has always been a problem but then you throw in an extremely deadly synthetic opioid into the mix and it's gasoline on a fire.

And yeah, it's definitely a weird tangent but it wouldn't be a Huddle thread without a weird tangent. 😂

Yeah, I am not here saying fentanyl isn't an issue but we just find some new boogeyman of a drug every few years/decades, so it will be something else eventually. 

The issue has very rarely been the substances. It's the people and systems that revolve around the substances. That's why this doesn't change, no matter the century.

People may not know if the the street medications they purchase contain fentanyl, which is cheaper and more potent than other drugs, because the pills are made to look exactly like prescription medications such as Xanax, oxycodone, Percocet, Norco, and others.

Carroll County is just outside of the Baltimore beltway.

It's possible but getting prescription Xanax is very far from difficult.

Aside from the fact that being anything but a white, heterosexual male in this country has become much more difficult to navigate lately?

Well, I guess this is now a Tinderbox thread.

You guys need to keep this kind of poo in there. Jesus.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
