[quote=diehardskin2982;1057259]He shouldn't be in the league. Fred makes millions of dollars to play a kids game and he can't keep his nose clean. He should be someone else's problem. I'm sure the Raiders will be calling.

No one who makes Stadium the gentleman's club his second home should be on this roster in 2014. He needs to take his career seriously.[/quote]

I live not too far from Stadium... about 15 minutes away and it looks nice from the outside but by the stories I hear I'm afraid to place is sweaty and smelly, the floor is sticky and the girls have bullet wounds and c-section scars.

I guess Mike's doghouse ended up being renovated into a grow house. SMOKE IF YOU GOT EM!


Fred is now submitting his application to work in one of the marijuana distribution centers in Colorado.

[quote=Monkeydad;1057244]It's still illegal in most places. So should the league also ignore players with DUIs, Giants players who shoot themselves in the leg in NYC clubs, QBs who rape and those who kill animals, and players getting in altercations with cops, wives, baby mommas and random strangers?

Sure, there's a degree of how many people those crimes effect but they're still crimes and the league probably is within its rights to suspend and try to control their employees as they wish. The game has to be kept somewhat family-friendly as much as possible to remain profitable. Take a look at the NBA, who has far less of a grasp on its players' behavior than the NFL.

I know the pot fanatics think it's all innocent and harmless, but at this point it's still a primarily illegal activity no matter how many people want to change the law.[/quote]

So is jaywalking. We should really crack down on these jaywalkers… it's illegal in most places.

Also not sure the NBA has [I]far[/I] less of a grasp on it's players.

I don't really care what the rules in the NFL should be. I only care what they are and whether our players follow them. This guy has a clear disregard for the rules, so much so that he's going to do whatever he wants, even if it means letting his teammates down and sitting out games.

Not someone I want on my team. I want someone who understands that availability is the number one ability, and will do whatever it takes to be available, even if it means abiding by the silliest of rules.

GONE.

Well said. This is the concept of responsibility and maturity that the "pot is like jaywalking" crowd around here and in society do not understand.

Your employer has rules. There are also laws to follow.

If you abide by them you have your job and you stay out of legal trouble. If you ignore them because you think you're above them or they're rules you disagree with, prepare for the consequences.

Fred Davis has already gotten many more chances than many of us would have received in our own jobs...a company would probably fire someone who is on drugs, sleeps on the clock and misses as many days as he reports to work. He's blown his chance at having his dream job. I don't understand why so many people want to defend this slacker and screw-up. I guess they just want that type of behavior to be acceptable so they can do the same without being accountable for their actions.

And just think, he could have gotten PAID and retired with all the pot he could smoke.

Re: Fred Davis Bye Bye
 

What a waste of talent -- would folks be inclined to re-sign him at the vet min (which is all he will get from anywhere)? I have to say, I was in favor of seeign what a new coach can do, but I cannot say I trust this guy to make it through a season, and sometimes you just have to move on.

For some reason this just made me laugh. The MD manifesto. MD, I am prepared for the consquences of jaywalking.

Re: Fred Davis Bye Bye
 

Some people estimate 50% of players smoke, that's probably on the low side. You have to be pretty dumb to get caught. Pretty sure the tests aren't random, until you get caught that is. Just stop smoking for a few weeks. Not hard.

Naw, that would make way too much sense.
