tell me again why we want a (former?) admitted pothead on our team to bash heads and get key first downs?

With all due respect do you think the Redskins are a bunch of squeaky clean guys? I mean have you seen the Hungry Man commercials with Clinton Portis. Guys fricking high as a kite (thats probably why hes eating all those hungry man dinners). Hell Portis's 20 pound bulk can probably be partly credited to having the munchies. What about Sean Taylor? He's been a model citizen.
Look the fact of the matter is that the players on our team (and around the league, a la Ricky) sometimes live life on the edge. As far as I'm concerned they can smoke as much pot as they want, drink as much as they can, and snort to their hearts content. As long as they don't hit women, molest kids, kill somebody, or God forbid cause problems in the locker room, I could care less about what they do off the field. Trust me as far as problems among players go, being a pothead ranks among the least problematic.
Just ask Michael Pitman who purposely ran his hummer into his wifes sedan while their kid was with her in the car just after the couple had a fight (if anyone deserved to get spit on it was him). Anyway sorry if I might have came off as attacking you. I was just trying to prove a point that we shouldn't consider a player for the fact that hes a stoner.
And to answer some of your questions I do not drink or smoke (or snort).
