Believe it! A sense of entitlement, the addicted brain, immaturity, etc. etc. Call it what you want, self destructive choices are common place for us humans.
Sadly, you are correct.

Idiot RBs in Pittsburgh... Bell and Blount arrested with possession of 20g of weed. Bell also possible DUI (weed, not alcohol).
This is of course, happening after I claimed Bell as a keeper in 1 league. However many are saying he won't face any suspension this year, if at all. First time offender, all that.
What a bunch of idiots. Ugh. But it couldn't happen to a better team!
How do these guys keep smoking weed? surely these guys must have a way to cheat the drug testing.... Otherwise how do you justify smoking when you know you will get tested several times a season. I refuse to believe any human being is that dumb wow.
Apparently, the 'Hawk's D did so well in the SuperBomb because they were touching receivers. The league wants that to not happen again in their showcase game, so the zebras will be enforcing the 5-yard-contact rule more stringently.
One thing I am not clear about is whether that means a WR could plow into a set FS without being flagged, or does the rule cut both ways and if it does, how would that affect things like Denver's "pick play" (that raised such ire in the AFCCG)?

So we now have the Ray Rice Rule. First offense 6 games, second offense lifetime ban.
Good.
Although Goodell should have done that from the beginning. The timing - just a day after Josh Brown's season long suspension - is also very ironic.
It still doesn't make up for the fact that Ray Rice still only has a 2 game suspension though.
Well, and I can kind of see the point. NFL football is a very violent sport, violence good, but maryjane makes people tend to be mellow (non-violent), so weed bad.

Any thoughts? Who will play more than 16 games? Who will miss the play-offs? Who will be in the SB?
I am going out on a limb and saying SB ex-licks will be Luck v. Newton, probably going to the latter.
Josh Brent was suspended for 10 games for driving drunk and killing a teammate. Good thing he didn't smoke any weed.
@AlbertBreer: Per sources, Wes Welker has been suspended for four games for violating the NFL's PED policy. It was for amphetamines.
Best thing that could have happened to him from a concussion standpoint. Dude has had 3 in the past 10 months.
Checks all fantasy teams. No Welker, whew.
He was smoking molly is what the reports are saying.@AlbertBreer: Per sources, Wes Welker has been suspended for four games for violating the NFL's PED policy. It was for amphetamines.

He denies it of course and ESPN is "implying" that he used the sample collection defense (which was denied).
This is going to hurt the Broncos but now we know why kept so many wide receivers on their practice squad - they must of have known this was coming down.
In a sense it will definitely help him, but given the last few concussions, its probably best if he hangs up his cleats. Why risk brain injury at this point.Being forced to sit for 4 games will probably help him in the long run, but with so many concussions in the last year, he may be one more away from having to shut it down anyway.
