With the draft a couple of days away?

How stupid.

Says they tested positive at combine. The info is just coming out now, which makes you wonder:
who leaked it?
Why?
Is it even true?

This is a little later than usual, for instance Harvin's fail leaked weeks in advance. Lockout could be the reason info is getting out later.

Now I dont feel so bad about Houston falling out of Round 1 last night, lol.

If it is true, though, smoking close enough to the the combine to test positive is idiotic.

Who cares. It is just weed.

It's even funnier seeing that statement next to your avatar.

A lot of GMs do.

It isn't about "it's just weed."

It's about making a decision, as Jan Reimers said, so close to the combine, where they know they're getting tested, to actually do it. Testing positive for marijuana can lead to a suspension in the NFL, so they know it's against league rules (not to mention illegal)

That just shows awful judgement.

So, a lot of GMs would be very hesitant to spend a higher pick and lots of $$ on a guy who is showing that kind of poor judgement already. Because if he's making such blatantly poor decisions now, chances are greater he'll do the same again later, after you've invested in him.

:P

I still have him pegged at #34 if he makes it out.

I had both out of round 1, so I think they may not drop far in round 2... may be dropped to round 3.

It explains why people say Houston seems...kind of out of it, during games.

I'm sure there's footage of him eating brownies on the sideline somewhere.

marijuana is not a drug and shouldn't be tested for.
