My guess is someone is targeting the two and are leaking the bad info. to get their draft stock to drop.

Lol, maybe the Redskins did it, but yeah I wouldn't be surprised if thats what happened. At the same time I wonder if the Bengals would take a risk on Maningham, who aside from being a Michigan guy, would be going to a team with enough character issues as is.

Personally I don't think that marijuana use is that big a deal, if it was legal I would prefer players smoking pot instead of drinking alcohol a hundred times over (just for the record I don't smoke pot), but the fact that it's illegal makes using it a bigger risk and in turn a higher probablility that you could lose a player in this day and age of Roger trying to clean up the league.

So with that said I know that smoking pot isn't really that big of a deal, but my question is would a team that has as little room to work with (in terms of character issues) be willing to take on another head case like Maningham.
