Is it any surprise steelers players are dropping like flies due to violating the substance abuse policy? In the article, he also urges players to start saving their money now for the lockout in 2021. So, should they be spending their money on weed or saving it? Is the steelers organization slowly going to POT (pun intended)right before our eyes?
Even if this is what you believe, don't you keep your mouth shut being a person of authority in the organization, especially when you clearly have players serving suspensions because they have a problem? Truly mind blowing.What a mess it has become in Pittsburgh. They better be careful, the NFL may not give them the benefit of the doubt and baby them in all things gray area anymore.

How you are getting what you wrote from what is written in that article is a mystery to me.

He said "hey, it's an article about the Steelers. Let me post it to smack and try to connect my unrelated commentary back to the link. I'm really sticking it to those darn Steelers fans this time"

This is your idea of smack? You're making connections about drugs from an article about a possible lockout? The season can't get here soon enough.

Yeah I wouldn't want to acknowledge him downplaying marijuana use if my team couldn't stay off of the green either. At least he's leading the league in marijuana question deflections at the moment, so there's that.
You think the steelers players lounge is a grow house yet or do you think they still keep it in the utility closet? Questions to ponder.

look, obviously I am a huge bengals fan that is why I am here. But he is right. There are bigger things to worry about than pot.
It does not translate how you play on the field. If anything, you would play worse, because weed creates laziness.
Its freaking weed dude. it is truly harmless, and if you think any different, you are either old and stuck in your ways, or have not done enough re search. Show me news article of a guy getting high on marijuana and killing his wife. It does not exist. Getting drunk and killing your wife, however, does happen. But of course, its okay to drink.

The problem isn't the weed itself, it's the fact that it's illegal in most states and is against the substance abuse policy the NFL has in place. Are there bigger problems than weed? Sure. But is the biggest problem the steelers have right now not being able to adhere to the substance abuse policy and in turn having players suspended because of it, "it" namely being pot? Yep. Just not great timing for a quote like that to come out of Pittsburgh. It makes them look stupid.

Whether or not it's okay is a matter of personal opinion, and largely irrelevant to my point.

Maybe because guys like Bell and Gordon will smoke up their savings if given the chance.

Seeing that your point was a personal opinion, makes your point largely irrelevant then.

Are you trying to get us to believe that had all of this (the pot suspensions and a player rep saying what he did) happened on, say, the Seahawks, anybody here would have raised just as large a stink about it?

Irrelevant. Everyone knows that the Seahawks are all on Adderall.
