Shane..."Hey Roger, thanks for invitin' me to the big party this Thursday. I been gettin' ready for it dude!"

Roger..."No problem buddy. You'll soon have your picture on a box of Weedies!"

IDIOT!

Also, according to info from 5 NFL teams, Shane Ray failed a drug test early on in his career at Missouri. That comes back to haunt him now.

these young kids can't handle the potency of the high grade cannabis sativa.

how many breaks can you give the young prospect?

does a bad decision regarding drugs/alcohol made at a young age suggest that the prospect will forever be fighting the abuse demons?

josh Hamilton seemed to have beaten his habit only to endure the very public admission of several recent "relapses".

obviously the angels feel that his flame had burned out while they send him back to texas and eat tens of millions of dollars of his contract.

it seems to me that those in the position of evaluating professional athlete prospects are leaning towards the policy of "once a user, always a user".

if I were in their position, and basing my decision solely from a cost/benefit analysis, i would have to agree

You agree, and so does AA. You can be sober 50 years and you still start a meeting with "I'm ____, and I'm an alcoholic."

And I just took Ray at 12 in my latest FirstPick sim...

Plus Bill Polian dumps on Shelton for being too slow...

Plus some Celtic dipshit pulls Kevin Love's shoulder out of its socket...

Aw fuck it...

I can see it now: 12: Randy Gregory 19: Shane Ray 43: Dorial Green-beckham. Get willie Nelson and snoop dogg to sing the national anthem at the home opener and all is well.

Too slow? He's 340. I haven't seen any guys that big with his pass rushing ability or motor.

Someone give Polian Shelton's stats on snaps played. You see that and you give him a pass for being slow (which he's not, anyway).

When did they say this?

Mudfly

one problem that this may cause is that he is a pass rusher and was expected to go pretty high(top 10 possibly)....which would have been one of the picks used to push Shelton back our way......so, thats one less defensive guy to put ahead of our guy.....which isnt good(for us)

The amount of overreaction on this board is fucking crazy.

Ray was not arrested - he was cited. He was pulled over for speeding, the police officer found a personal amount of unsmoked marijuana in his car and wrote him a citation. He was cooperative. He was not impaired. He was not detained. He was given a misdemeanor possession and has to appear in court.

It's the same thing your 16 year old son gets when cops pull him over and find a dime bag. Is your 16 year old a scumbag? Are you ready to write him off?

Hopefully he falls to the early second and we can grab him there, but he won't. That's top-10 talent and a team like Denver or Seattle will pick him up in a heartbeat...because they're not shitty pussies.

i don't agree with the marijuana laws in this country which in turn means the NFL as well BUT it's really not about that. it's about the fact that in 2 days you're supposed to be in chicago in a suit waiting to get called from an NFL team to start your new career and the last thing THE VERY FUCKING LAST THING you should be around in those 2 days up to that is drugs and bars and everything involved with it.

having weed on him is no big deal on a law enforcement level but how fucking STOOPID do you have to be to get popped with it? speeding with weed in your pocket is not a very bright thing to do no matter who you are.

a scumbag? no. a fucking dolt? yes.

so you're a fan of shitty pussies? cuz you seem to be on here an awful lot.

My Shelton/Ray first round might happen, let's do this!

I mean, I don't think a bunch of people are against this point. But, I can still say it's beyond stupid for the dude to be within a mile of weed or any other substance so close to a life changing moment in the draft. That small mistake is probably going to cost him millions in money.

Once again, who said he was in a bar? And, even if he was, the time he was pulled over (6 a.m.) leads me to believe that, even if he were out, he went somewhere to sober up before driving. This title is completely misleading and erroneous. No DUI. No arrest. He showed zero signs of impairment. He didn't resist.

Further, they found less than 30 grams in one of his compartments, not his pocket. Unsmoked. He wasn't leaving a bar and hotboxing his car. He wasn't speeding and swerving and smoking weed.

So, at the most, he went out to some bars, sobered up for four hours, then got caught speeding with a minimal amount of marijuana that he probably bought from one of his friends to celebrate being drafted.
