If I was the Patriots here’s what I’d do. I’d inform the NFL that I was going to let Eric “the weasel” Mangini film,tape and if necessary HAND DRAW every friggin defensive signal we had and then the next game I’d still go out and blow the Jets doors off by 30 points !!!

There isn't much consensus on much of anything here, actually. This issue is no different. I don't believe pot is any more evil than alcohol, and I use neither. (Obviously the carnage from alcohol use far surpasses that of MJ use.)

But in the NFL, as in society, they have decided on that alcohol is fine but pot is bad. Travis Henry, dumb as he may be, knows this and apparently violated the rules anyway. It's the rule-breaking behavior that is evil when you have a guy whose livelihood and ability to support his multiple children depends--in part--upon following the rules.

Help me out here. I have this joker on my fantasy team. Who gets the start at RB in Denver now?

[vetvetdoug]

Travis Henry got his training at the University of Tennessee. Just look at how several of them have done in the NFL lately, except for Peyton Manning...MJ must be almost a prerequisite for a running back at Tennessee...

Here is the Broncos roster/depth chart—

Looks like Selvin Young and Andre Hall are the back ups.
They also have Cecil Sapp, Mike Bell and Paul Smith at FB.

I would go check the waivers and players available and get someone else. If he gets suspended , you are out of luck.

Don’t these people have anything better to do with their money?

Selvin Young. He started last week and looks to be the starter for the rest of the season. Mike Bell is currently out.

Well, this defeats the theory that pot use makes one’s sperm count decrease :)

I’m from the Libertarian wing of FR. Putting people in jail and giving them a hard time for smoking weed is a waste of time, money, and our freedoms.

[mainepatsfan]

What a waste of talent.

[N. Theknow]

Henry claims the league violated its substance abuse policy by not allowing his experts to be present for testing of his urine sample, according to court papers.

NFL should say OK. Take another test today with your expert and let's see what happens.

So long, farewell, its really time to goooo!

Sonofabitch!

He’s on my fantasy team. Crap.

Who’s his backup?

[dfwgator]

I guess he couldn’t handle a Vandy guy being QB.

[vetvetdoug]

Do you think he even can recognize the fact that the QB went to college, any college?

I hope your Gator's are pissed off now so they can lay an egg on LSU....I can for see my Vols losing another four games starting with GA this weekend....

[Dysart]

Selvin Young or Mike Bell?

“Don’t these people have anything better to do with their money?”

I’m thinking paying child support in Henry’s case...You’d think he couldn’t afford to smoke dope...
