trent williams turning over a new leaf?

I heard on TheFan that Shanny has put in place a strict team policy to ensure the incident between Trent Williams and Fred Davis doesn't happen again. He sounded very confident that they've cleaned up their act, so much that they decided to franchise Fred Davis without reservation. Shanny seemed unfazed by the possibility that David and Trent could get booted from the league, saying he went through something similar with players in Denver there were no repeat offenders.

Naming Philip Daniels as Director of Player Development was also step in that direction.

HGH is legal, you can buy it out of GNC, but it's banned from the NFL. why would Marijuana be any different?

Because the players union would want it legal and its not performance enhancing. Probably half the league would want to smoke, im sure half the league drinks.

Well it seems as though this thread is going to go a different direction than the thread title. Pot should be legal, but I do ask you this, why is it so bad for a guy to go home and smoke a joint after work? When executives and workers alike can go out and get smashed after work as much as they like with no reprocussions?

Probably should be an off topic thread posted in the parking lot forum if you want to go down that road. My posts were attempt to explain through simply that just like any industry, the NFL would still remain to have a drug policy in place that, more than likely, would ban the use of Marijuana. And more than likely, a lot of non-sport industries would probably maintain the same Prohibition.

Neither is HGH, but the league labels it as such (there is no scientific proof that HGH does truly enhance performance.) How do we know that the players union would want Marijuana legal?

because half the college players smokes coming into the league

You know this to be true or are you just assuming so to support the use of Marijuana? I mean, me personally, I don't care either way. I don't use the stuff, can't stand the odor of it for one thing. But, realistically, the NFL would never lift the ban on pot, and I seriously doubt this would be an issue the players union would strongly champion.

/Side note...thinking about it, I'm not sure if there's any current players who are endorsed by beer companies. I've seen retired coaches on beer commercials, but no current players that I'm aware of. I might be wrong on that, but none come to mind currently. With that said, I'd think the NFL would probably feel it would be in its best interest to not condone its players to smoke pot.

Ditto on the Daniels job. If the first part is accurate and the doobie duo are on track for good, kudos to Mike and the FO for their handling of the situation.

When marijuana is legalized the league will maintain the ban-language but never test for it, because yes, many people enjoy the herb...many.

Thc is stores in fat cells. The length that pot stays in your system is dependent upon how much water you drink, how much you sweat, and some other factors. A professional athlete who is working out and working on his craft should be able to get pot out of their urine in the matter of a couple of weeks. It is also dependent on how much you smoke. If he only smoked a joint then in reality it should not take 30 days to get it out of your system. If you are daily smoker it can take 30-45 days. BUT like I said before an athlete who has quit should be able to get their system clean quicker. Just my 2 cents.

As a person who went to boarding school...I got this topic. The very best urine tests max out at around 21 days (average is around 7) for even the heaviest of pot smokers with the worst metabolisms. There are other ways to test (like hair) that can pick up traces that have been there for months.
