Yet the players who go out and get drunk get a free pass. Yes, I know Dunlap's DUI cost him (and us) big time, but Hernandez didn't get a DUI.
Ok, I'll shut up before I wander too close to THFGT territory.

Millions at stake and he can't stop lighting up long enough to be drafted? I don't even think pot should be an issue, but.. it is, and he knew it. That makes him stupid. IMHO, of course.

But the report states that Hernandez failed multiple tests while at UF, and that Hernandez was fairly forthcoming about his marijuana use when interviewing with teams before the draft. Hernandez told teams that his drug use stemmed from the 2006 death of his father, Dennis, who died of complications following hernia surgery while Hernandez was a junior in high school. >>“It’s good he did that,’’ one AFC scout told the Globe. “But it was enough to scare people so that he fell through three rounds.’’ >>Of course, the positive marijuana tests didn’t slow down Harvin, who was named the NFL’s 2009 Rookie of the Year. It didn’t slow down Hernandez last year, either, when he caught 68 passes for 850 yards and five touchdowns. But he didn’t play in the November game against Florida International, and the pervasive use scared teams away from drafting him with an early pick. >>“It’s not like he failed one test,’’ the AFC scout said of Hernandez. “He had repeated issues with it, to the point where you worry about whether he’ll be able to lay off the stuff at our level. To be honest, he’s super talented and, even with the issues, I’m surprised he fell as far he did.” >>“He had multiple positive tests, so he either had issues or he’s dumb. One or two tests? Fine. But four, five, six? Come on, now you’ve got an addiction. He’s not a bad kid. He just has an issue.’’ >>Slive: SEC exploring expansion just in case >>By JOHN ZENOR Sports Writer >>Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive says the league isn't considering adding teams but is working on a plan to keep up with other conferences if they expand just in case. >>The commissioner said Monday that the 12-member SEC hasn't talked to any institutions about joining and has no plans to do so. The expansion exploration is just an internal look at the potential advantages and disadvantages in case there is a "significant shift in the conference paradigm," he said. >>Slive didn't elaborate on how much expansion would fit that billing. >>"But I'll know," he said. >>League expansion has been a hot topic since the Big Ten announced in December that it was considering expanding. >>SEC teams have won the past four national titles in football and have lucrative TV deals with CBS and ESPN. >>"That doesn't cry for change," Slive said. Any changes would only be made if the league deems it necessary to maintain its prominent position, he said. >>"We've always been known to be a creative league, be on the cutting edge," Slive said. "We're not going to allow ourselves in any way, shape or form, to be anything less than what we are now." >>He declined to talk about what factors the SEC might look for in potential new members. >>"The important thing is we're paying attention, we're going to be strategic, we're going to be thoughtful, but we're not going to relinquish our role as one of the premier conferences," he said. >>Slive spoke to editors and writers from the Southeast Region of the Associated Press Sports Editors across the street from his office in downtown Birmingham. >> >>Read more: http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/04/26/v-print/1599257/slive-sec-exploring-ex pansion.html#ixzz0mFmfcOcX >> >>__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5064 (20100427) __________ >> >>The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. >> >>http://www.eset.com/ >>-- >>GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! >>1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions >>2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions >>2008 National Football Champions | >>Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), >>Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- >GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! >1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions >2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions >2008 National Football Champions | >Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), >Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us > >Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/gatortalk/subscribe?hl=en >-- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
