Idiot! Not only going 100 mph and risking others on the road, just throw in some drugs to boot. I see a short NFL career in this one.

Of course, the statistics don’t support your opinion. If you think for a minute that drug laws do anything besides fuel a multi billion dollar industry, you’re foolish. Drug laws don’t stop users, everyone knows that.

States that have their act together, and soon enough the fed, recognize how marijuana is not the dangerous drug you were told it was a long time ago when you were a kid.

And to answer your statement…I’ve attempted to pull the badly mangled, dead body of my best friend out of a vehicle who was killed at the hands of a person under the influence of THE MOST DANGEROUS DRUG…alcohol.

People need to assume their own responsibility, that’s why alcohol is legal. Common knowledge at this point that marijuane should be legal.

In my opinion, football players are overpaid to begin with, no one NEEDS that much money. Apparently, he like many others has just gotten too big for his britches and had his priorities all wrong. Many lessons to be learned from his poor decisions for sure, just hope he man’s up and makes better ones and doesn’t go downhill from here. Time will tell!

Another Sports Player caught with drugs and speeding . When will they ever learn ? ? Hope he misses his court date. They charged him with the highest offense. If it was speeding he would have had a speeding ticket.

To JS MARTIN II

Yea it’s marijuana, would you be so quick to say that if he had hit and killed someone because he was rolling a blunt while speeding? That’s a good defence ” HEY JUDGE MY CLIENT WAS JUST ROLLING A BLUNT SORRY FOR SPEEDING”

They write tickets in Alabama, not like Florida where they can take you to jail for doing 20 moh over speed limit.

To geo,
Alabama doesn’t have it backwards we arrest any and everyone that has drugs on them. That’s why you will never see Alabama fall to the marijuana laws that other states have. If you ever had to pull a child out of a car wreck where the other driver was under the influence of a narcotic or out of a home where the drugs are more important than the kids you might have a different mind. BUT then again you are the same people that believe marijuana is harmless what’s next crack, meth I know lets let everyone just sit around and get high and live off the goverment.

Too bad money can’t buy you brains. Not everyone has an opportunity to play professional football and it looks like he’s trying to throw his opportunity away.

In the NFL, you’re competing with a guy(s) equally as good as you… If you make the cut – you make millions! When all is equal between you and the next guy, the coaches turn to the next variable, which is character. “Which young man here is going to stay clean and make the right decisions?” Akeem, unfortunately, you’ll get the ax.
