Potential substance abuse suspensions due to Richie Incognito's texts...

[JTC111]

Correct. Drug testing is a condition for employment.

It can also be considered illegal search and seizure and invasion of privacy.

And you think Pouncey can avoid pissing in a cup by claiming illegal search and seizure or invasion of privacy???

 

[ohall]

Ever think that some of these guys might be in the first step of the drug program?

Are you saying a txt could get anyone playing in the NFL suspended?

As far as I know they would still have to test positive with a urine or blood test.

I was also unaware that the ppl txt'ing in this were under oath.

And for the record it wouldn't shock me if all 3 of these guys do legal and illegal drugs.

Smoke.

maybe a wisp. not discounting anything at this point

 

[rent this space]

If he is the owner of said house than he is involved, doesn't mean he's guilty but connect the dots.....

sure, but which dots? 2 guys thought there was going to be drugs at an after hours party that they didn't attend?
We don't even know if there were drugs in the first place, let alone who had them and who did them.

 

[GasPed]

Who is to say Pouncey actually does drugs? What if Pouncey was simply throwing a party where there so happened to be drugs at said party. Do the text messages clearly state Mike Pouncey does drugs?

I do get your point though - the text messages are far from incontrovertible evidence.

 

[FinHopeful]

No one is getting suspended over what was alleged in a text message. This isn't private elementary school.

I agree that no one will be suspended because of the text, but Pouncey might be required to take a drug test ASAP.

All this tells us is just how undisciplined and unfocused the players on this team are. Sure, Philbin runs a tight ship. Whatever.

It’s incredible how the last remnants of delusional deniers are clinging to the faux righteousness of their dug-in stand defending someone who has now revealed himself to undeniably being a lazy, conniving self-serving snake who:

a)had no problem following a script to ruin Incognito, who turned out, as evidenced by his supportive texts even after Martin’s theatrical pissy fit to be his most concerned friend, and

b)throw his team which he had no problem continuing to steal money from while hanging them out to dry under the bus while flitting around on the Stanford team's sidelines

c)petulantly lied his ass off to punish a team that demoted him because he couldn’t cut it

d) etc.

What would the OP have preferred? Richie to just sit there while this manipulating worthless liar skewered him and sabotaged his reputation and career? It’s okay for him to perpetuate lies, create BS from out of thin air, BUTgod forbod Incognito didn't have either kept quiet or sympathetically edited out the drug part?

Incognito’s dad on this very site called everything right from the start including Martin being a drug abuser, and serial suicide threatener including several times theatrically holding a gun to his own head. Unless you’re dyslexic, or so deeply entrenched in your delusions - while Incognito certainly is far away from being depicted by those proverbial rainbows and unicons, if there are true “victims” here based on these circumstances they’re Incog and the Fins while Martin is the Snidely Whiplash of what’s turned out to be this farcical cartoon, down to the evil curlicue stash.

I literally LMAO’ed reading the analogy by one Delusional Denier who equated Incog to George Zimmerman and Martin to Trayvon Martin. This couldn't be further from what most of us without agendi knew from the get-go: that using a similar analogy, the reality would turn out to be Incog being more like the NYPD, Martin like Tawanna Brawley and his handlers including the lawyers even beyond mommy and daddy, exactly like Al Sharpton.

****ing Unreal!

I doubt anything happens to Pouncey...I don't think it's fair to call Ritchie a rat...If Pouncey's smart and does do/have drugs then he has already gotten rid of all evidence and is drinking tons of water

Nope. What I am saying is we do not know if any of these guys are in the first step of the program. Because it is confidential, we would not know. It has nothing to do with the texting.

OK but to follow that logic, how would these txt's play a negative or positive role if one of these players were in the NFL drug program or not?

.

I would imagine texting the N word would get someone suspended, so yes a text can get NFL players suspended.

None. You are right. I am not doing a good job explaining myself. People on this thread are wondering aloud how some of these guys are not banned for drug use. My point was maybe they have in fact tested positive and are in step one.

The texts are hearsay at its best.

Pouncey can claim that and harrasment by the NFL if he is tested more than regular, or even because of the texts.

 

[Hayden Fox]

If they come after Pouncey, he should slam his lunch tray down and run away.
