Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

2012 NFL Draft: rounding up the day's news

- Alabama CB Dre Kirkpatrick arrested for marijuana possession - This isn't like Justin Blackmon's DWI that any sensible mind in a front office will be able to rationalize; this is a player coming off of a championship, beginning his transition to the NFL by doing something with weed. I say doing something, because whether he was about to smoke it or he was selling it (and in that low quantity, that may be the worst answer) or he was just riding with a friend who had it, it's a judgment issue. The real question people will have for him at the combine is "why now?"

- Shrine Game practices are in full force - This is largely behind the curtain stuff. Does the fact that USC RB Marc Tyler had a good two-day run immediately catapult him into day 2 status? No. But saying catapult reminds me of nerdy guys who spend too much time making homemade catapults. And while I make fun of those guys, I really wish I had their handheld homemade catapults.

- Did Van get a mock on the SB Nation front page? - yes.

It's still relatively quiet on the draft front at this point, until Andrew Luck gets busted for moving a donkload of that Pyrex pure over the California border. Don't know what a donk is? Then you probably don't know what that Pyrex is for (consult your local Brad Jordan historian).

But the Shrine Game is this Saturday followed by the Senior Bowl a week from Saturday. That will help lead up to the combine in late February, so expect stuff to pick up on this front quickly.

he doesn't have

the huge red flag that Pacman did, but he’ll be asked about this during interviews at the combine.

Way to go Dre!

You just cost yourself a ton of money…….Claiborne sure is the beneficiary of all the indescretions from Dre, Janoris and the Harris kid.

now that's true

Janoris Jenkins and Cliff Harris might have been in the top tier conversation had they played full seasons at Florida and Oregon, respectively.

Hey next time you're in Ptown look around for a Stoner electric hat

They’re the coolest. It used to be the name of an electrical contractor, his actual name but I think they’ve changed the name of the company, or it’s now incorporated or something. Anyhoo the hat can sometimes be found in goodwill or second hand stores.

Q: Were Cliff Harris and Dre driving in the same car?

A: No, they weren’t going fast enough and they still had the weed, having not “smoked it all”

by sergey606 on Jan 17, 2012 8:11 PM CST reply actions  

Hmmm

Just legalize it. Marijuana is no worse than alcohol. In fact you never hear of anyone beating their wife or kids because of marijuana abuse.

Dre would be a concern to draft for fear of this sort of thing popping up during time with whatever team he joins. Causing suspensions and overall hurting the team. Come on man, hopefully he can smarten up and keep clean for his football career. Snoop dog and Willie Nelson can smoke all they want and not worry too much but neither of them play pro football and take regular drug tests.

I'm not debating it

I was talking about how it could hurt him in his pro career. But I wanted to give my opinion that I think marijuana should be legalized. Not debating anyone. Just a quick opinion.

Seems more related to the subject than photos of half-naked women. Seeing as we are talking about a football player who has gotten in trouble with possession of marijuana and half-naked women are just non-football related eye-candy. Not that I have a problem with half naked women photos on this site’s comments. :)

Well when you right click on the picture and the drop down menu appears

You have to click on the right choiceFor me it’s “copy link location”

then when you go to make a comment you click on the little tree logo in between the title box and the comments box and you paste the link there. After some experimenting that should get you going.
