Jim Mandich is the man

[Stratman Tigers]

I was listening to 560 WQAM and some caller calls in about the Beasley rehab thing, and asks Mandich if everyone knew Mercury Morris had a coke problem and he goes "I smoked my fair share of pot back in the day, as a member of the aqua and orange". He then says something like "Sorry to taint your image of the 1972 Undefeated team, but I'd say more people than not smoked pot on that team. After the game, when Sally the cheerleader with the big bust came by and said 'you got try this...'". Mandich is awesome and hilarious.

I like mandich but, IMHO only idiot's make a big deal about smoking pot.
big deal a **** load of people smoke it.
Don't misunderstand me. My 18 year old son smokes it, and it pisses me off.
I told him if i find that crap in my house im gonna explode.
I smoked it in high school some and thought it was a waste of time, I had better things to do with my time. But my kid when he smokes that ****, I can tell he just sits there and plays video games or watches tv with a stupid *** blank look on his face.
No fricken motavation at all. The refer didn't cause it but didnt help either just made it worse(his motavation that is).
So save your celebration of that ****. My brother when we were kids had a fricken garbage bag full of that stuff and use to sell it out of my grandmothers house.
Forgive my rant.
I'm sorry i even commented on this MF'ing thread.

I probably would have considered something like that cool too...when I was 17...

I don't smoke pot at all. I just love how how everyone makes such a huge deal of it, and I found Mandich's comment funny.

Sorry to get all your panties in a bunch, guys.

I dont know, I guess I shouldn't be shuch a hard case.
But it's not like he has anything that is holding him back, He is smart, good looking but just doesn't seem to have any fire in his belly to do something with his life. I guess I should be more patient.

if he is lazy its cause he is lazy not because of pot.

I said "pot didnt cause it, pot made his problem worse".

Don't even get me started on the stupid pot laws... it should've been legalized (or at least de-criminalized) years ago.

No...you should be a hard-case with him. Might save him some trouble down the road. Looking back, I wish someone had done so with me. I have a Masters now...but I didn't get my crap together until I quit the stuff...

Actually...I was taking a poke at the folks who thought what Mandich said was cool...

 

[Dr. Phin]

Been there...so I know there is no arguing with you...hopefully some day you will wake up...

I smoke pot, have a full time job, girlfriend, bachelors degree, and still play competitive tackle football at 25 years old.

It's not the pot.

I probably smoke more weed then 99% of the people on this forum.... lazy people are going to be lazy.. motivated people are going to be motivated.. and those motivated people are not going to loose all inhibitions just because they smoke weed.. you'd be really surprised how many successful people smoke weed.

I got a 75% scholarship at a good University smoking weed throughout highschool.. and I'm on my way to a Masters in Accounting.. and Ill continue to smoke..

The "laziness" so often associated with canibus is because of the more common Indica strain "couch-locked" effects... and yes, WHEN you're high, you're very "lazy".. but highs last like.. maybe 2-3 hours (if you have a low tolerance).. but it doesn't alter your character entirely and transform you into a human sloth.. people who use weed as a scapegoat for their laziness are lazy to begin with, and will continue to be so..

So if your any kinda smart.. don't smoke if you know you have **** to do.. its supposed to be a recreational activity that people do on their own time.. should their be a legal age for it? probably.. several congressman are already pushing bills to legalize it for responsible adults..

@ TheJetsBlow - I started a legalizing Marijuana thread a few months ago on the basis of the economic gains resulting from legalization.. feel free to check it out

Mandich is the man, this goes on in sports (/life...) a helluva lot more then people think.. and that's what Mandich was trying to say.. He was saying more people then not, on even our beloved 72' undefeated team.. the pinnacle of success for our entire franchise.. was a bunch of "potheads"..

Seems kinda ironic to me. That a drug so often associated with laziness, was used by a team that achieved perfection..


anyone interested in educating themselves on canibus I direct thee here.
