Cowboy's D lineman quits by smoking pot

[Mowingmaniac 24/7]

So a dim pro-athlete has a drug problem, threw away a chance to be very wealthy...and I care because...?

If you are 20 years old you will still have to work, but you wouldn’t have to work that much, or for that long.

If you are 45+ you could be pretty much retired.

If you are a professional athlete, you would most likely be broke in less than a year

These guys piss their money away.
Pro-athletes are akin to lottery winners - most wind up broke.

I read an article about an arena-league football player who signed a $100k contract a while back. He immediately went out and bought (2) Hummer H2’s @ $50k each.

So he just proved pro athletes can be major dumbasses.

What's new?

Sure... A LOT of variables on the table.

Most pros get use to the extravagant lifestyle. Easy to go up, hard to come down.

I guess I ponder having "crazy money" and how I would handle it too often. I have the plan... just don't have the "crazy money."

Another huge problem for them is the leeches that suck them dry. Most are the only wealthy person in their family. Lots of stories floating around about that.

May be dain bramaged.

lol what an idiot. I hope he has been saving his $$$.

Saw something today about this.
He is claiming that it's all about using pot which is natural, in the place of opiods.
So he is making a "stand".

I just watched the whole video... he said he's been in the league for 3yrs and hasn't even made a million yet.... ?

Wrong. He grossed just under $3 million last year.

I agree....

Low considering the most disheartening part of that story is the man is on opioids. Opioids are Satan's candy.

Sounds he’s stumbled over the meds he needs. Prayers up for the young man. Not to even mention doctors have killed everybody I ever knew except on the DRT cases. They Killed my dear MIL most recentlly due to opiods. Actually it was the Tylenol acetaminophen addition which wrecked her liver. The analgesic narcotic itself seems pretty benign.

They should be testing for performance-enhancing drugs.

Save the Mary Jane testing for when eating an entire bag of Doritos becomes a professional sport.

Yep sounds reasonable. One of my old pals has a kid who loves the stuff got himself a pretty good job at Amazon. They are pretty lenient and only do cheek swabs to check if they had done the dirty deed within 24 hrs. The knot head got nabbed breaking the rule. Decided to quit instead of coming up with any workable excuses. He needs a job if y’all know anybody who don’t mind folks doing that. Thanks

While I think it's stupid for David Irving to piss away $10 - $15 million he could have made over the next couple of years, I think the NFL's policy on weed is BS. I think they will change it soon, as I believe public sentiment towards pot has softened a lot in the last few years.

I hate to see a young man make a bad decision that keeps him from being financially set for life.

 

[bigwheel]

That’s what I heard too. It’s apparently superior to Opiods for pain relief and to get type A hood rats with mental problems to chill out. Somebody needs to get Trump on the band wagon.

He'd rather smoke weed than make millions. I have taken a drug test for jobs that paid 20000 a year.

Yes and no. HE made the decision! And he probably knew the consequences beforehand!

He knew. They all know.

Because you took time to read about it?
