ARodJetsFan Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Bills RT Seantrel Henderson is facing a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Henderson tested positive for marijuana. Henderson is overcoming Crohn's disease, and marijuana is a common pain reliever. Due to the tricky nature of this one, it's possible Henderson's ban could be overturned, but we doubt it. He's appealing it. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/340766/bills-rt-seantrel-henderson-facing-4-game-ban?ls=roto:BUF:topheadlines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 There's no way it gets overturned because he was sick. The league just doesn't work that way. As for Rex I honestly don't think it has anything to do with discipline - there are just idiots everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just a general lack of discipline? I guess when this keeps following him around as the coach, it must be the coach. I was literally done with Rex after Mike Vick said that he wasnt prepared for a Chargers game even though all of Jetnation knew that if Geno struggled that Vick would make an appearance. Rex response was "It takes a man to admit that". I knew at that moment that this dude was the wrong coach for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike135 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 The NFL is beginning to hit new levels of stupidity with this. I don't smoke. Wish I liked it, but think the effect sucks. Try it every 5+ years or so hoping I'll feel different, but no luck yet. Though I'm jealous of people that do like it. They get to drink and smoke weed. Two things, that if done in moderation, aren't bad for ya. Potentially even good for you. It's like being a guy who can bone fat chicks and likes the new look of wide-load asses. I personally don't like 'em big (i.e. can't fit in airline seat w/o grease), but picking chicks up from a bar has gotta be much easier if you'll take anything there. Back on point... stop testing for weed already. Especially since it can help as medication in some situations. My guess is they're just holding it as leverage for CBA negotiations.

bitonti Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Calling Henderson a starter is a stretch. He was out most of the offseason with Crohn's disease (of which, smoking weed is a treatment) Jordan Mills has been the starting RT for a while.

Maybe it's just a power trip thing then. Like the NFL knows weed isn't bad, but they just like forcing guys to conform to whatever they say? The NFL should exclude it from testing. Though for the more conservative teams/coaches, maybe let teams test for it if they want (so long as it's not legal in the state). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main point of the thread was to show the continuing pattern of behavior with Buffalo and how the absolutely horrific off-season they're having seems to have no end in sight. I took "Starting" out of the thread title for you. Satisfied? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The restrictions on medical research were lifted (thank god - why limit research on anything?), but it's still a class I. My opinion? The federal classification changes once the DEA finds a new bogeyman to chase, thereby insuring the continuing flow of funds to the agency. Lots of info in the news lately on "Designer Drugs". Now, nothing new, and of course the DEA has been after them for years, but I expect either these or another substance to get a LOT of play in the media in the next year, and then weed loses it's Class I status, may become Federally legal and whatever other something is next on the "evil" list, funding goes there and DEA rocks on with the same budget.

Regardless though, just stop testing for it at all. As in never, ever, ever... not only once a year, not on leap years, not when the sun earth moon and Mars align. Never test for it.

I hope you're right, but I personally don't see the DEA ever removing a substance from their banned list unless they are forced to do so. The more substances they get banned, the more funding they receive for their endless, unwinnable war on drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
