Who cares about pot in football?
I was thinking about the recent bust of Mike Anderson from the Broncos for pot. He has a four game suspension that will cost him $317,000 as a result. Now, he broke the rules and they are carefully laid out and understood. Also, he is a professional athlete and needs to be held to very strict standards. But geesh, pot? Who cares if the guy smokes pot? Let me qualify this by saying I don't smoke it. I know that only my wife believes me on that, but it's true.A professional athelete should not be anywhere near 'performance enhancing drugs'. There is no question about that. Neither is their a question that marijuara even remotely enhances an atheletes ability. Can you imagine an announcer saying something like:
man, did you see that catch? I haven't seen a run and dive like that since the great Walter Payton. It's like the kid is all goofed on weed, which the league is should consider testing for. It turns out every young hotshot out of college looking to get a boost in the NFL is taking the pot. Last week Steve McNair threw for 300 yards on the stuff. It appears the athletes are also covered in what can only be described as 'cheeto dust', which is a known side effect of chronic marijuana abuse
part two of this piece is this, can you imagine how much suffering and pain a pro football player endures? Can you imagine how much great and legal drugs they get? They probably have a bowl of percosets with milk every day for breakfast. So, if a 300 pound guy wants to get a little high after using his body as a battering ram for 4 hours a day... I say go nuts! Who the hell cares?
